That's your colostrum coming in:) it's perfectly normal to leak before labor for awhile. Don't try and express it just keep dry by using nursing pads.

Colostrum is the pre-milk your baby gets right after birth until your milk comes in. It's basically a more condensed version of milk as your newborn can't eat a ton at first but needs all the benefits of milk.
