A member asked:
Is it normal to leak black colostrum during pregnancy? is it normal to leak colostrum at week 18?

Yes: Black nipple discharge is not unusual during pregnancy or otherwise. Leaking colostrum is normal at any point during pregnancy. Nipple discharge that is bloody without damage during nursing is not normal and worrisome.
