Hey ladies, need some advice!
I’ve been producing colostrum for the last week or two but it seems to only be from my left breast, and my right seems to be completely “inactive” so to speak. Should I be super concerned and bring this up to my doctor or just wait it out and see if there’s a change?
I only ask and I’m only worried because I have my nipples pierced, and I’m not sure if that can effect anything. Though I’ve not really heard of that often.. mostly I’ve just heard that there’s probably increased leakage because there’s more holes.
Thanks for any information/advice!

pretty sure it's normal. you're only 20 weeks, some moms leak! try breast pads to soak that up.

I’d say bring it up with the doctor because satisfying that unnerving curiosity is best done by a doctor.
Especially if they can give you advice on what’s normal with piercings and what most people do having them while pregnant. My doctor recommended I get a different piercing for my belly so who knows, you may need to do that for yours. Also, I believe leakage is normal no matter left or right breast.

although later on, if you plan to breastfeed, the nipple rings have to come out as they pose a choking hazzard to the baby.

Thank you @boymamachronicles and @kmsespy, I probably will bring it up with my doctor at this weeks appointment. I know the leaking is normal but I just felt awkward having it from only one breast.
I definitely know I’ll have to take the piercings out later on though while I breastfeed. So that’s a bummer, but completely understandable!
