Green, Crusty Nipples?? TMI!

I am 26 weeks preggo. Yesterday, I happened to notice that I had green/yellow crust in the center of my nipple. I used a washclothe and it come right off, but what is it?? I got so scared....... Is this normal? I already called my Dr. and I am waiting for him to call me back!

I don't think I would be too worried, this could be normal 'leakage' (sorry if that's tmi).... hope your dr. called you back to ease your mind. Let us know what happened.

I agree its probably some leakage... maybe it changed to a greenish color because of what you were wearing or a lotion that you had on?
Let us know what the doctor says.

you are leaking a tiny bit of colostrum type stuff, when it dries that is what color it looks. The general rule is, if something is bilateral (happening on both sides) it is generally nothing to be worried about!

Thanks!

That is what I figured, that it was on both sides, it was probably one of the many joyous symptoms of pregnancy! :)

My Dr. called back and agreed with you all! :) He said to try to manually manipulate my breasts to get it all out! :0

I tried and nothing is coming out, but i don't really know how to do it? Did anyone do this? It feels very wierd!
