Clear colostrum?

[Fujiko]

I am 37 weeks pregnant, still nursing dd though my milk dried up four or five months ago. In the last month or so I've been able to express what I would assume to be colostrum. It is clear, but I know that is normal for colostrum so I didn't worry about it. I assumed that by the time the baby is born it would change to the creamy color it was with dd. Well, my midwives and everyone else has a feeling I will birth early, meaning in a week or two. It hasn't changed. I'm worried it isn't nearly as nutritious as creamy colostrum. Can anyone tell me about clear colostrum? Did anyone have clear colostrum?

I had milks of all kinds & colors starting about 5 months into my pregnancy. Sometimes the creamy yellowy stuff, sometimes clear but sorta thick, sometimes clear & watery, sometimes the bluey-whitish breastmilk color. I think all that, and even green, orange or pink tinged milk/colostrom/breast discharge is normal.

Yeah I think by the time your body decides that it is time to deliver this baby it will produce whatever colostrum it knows is needed for baby. Even though you deliver early your colostrum could and most likely will change after your baby is born.

No worries, it will change at the right time : )
