pregnancy boobies

I don't remember this with either of the kids... or the passed pregnancies.
I was in the bath last night and was washing and I looked at my nipples and there was white. I squeeze my nipple to see what it was and white stuff came out? It was odd... my boobs have never done anything like that before like I said.
I'm only 7 1/2 weeks sooo I don't know what it could be?
Is it a good sign I might be able to BF?!

That happened to me when I was pregnant. My midwife said it was dried colostrum. And maybe! I'm BF now and I had it  

It's colostrum, which is what your baby will eat first before your milk comes in. Leaking or not leaking isn't an indication of if you will breastfeed successfully. There are way too many other factors involved including emotional support system, society, calorie intake of mother, and so forth.

I never had that last pregnancy and EBF for a year.

I dont know what your issues are with breastfeeding, but in my experience it can be done as long as medication is not a factor.

Oh that makes me happy!
with my 2 kids I could never BF... I tried but NOTHING came out. My OB said that sometimes women's bodies just have a hard time producing but after a few pregnancies their bodies sometimes get into the swing of things.

Yup colostrum. It doesn't really have an effect on your ability to bf. but it's not a bad sign either   Bfing will be successful mostly with hard work, desication, patience, and BG mamas!

I really tried hard for 6 weeks with both of my stinkers but I couldn't let them starve  
even when I tried to pump NOTHING came out my daughter thought it was the oddest thing.
I don't take any medications or anything. I am REALLY going to try REALLY hard with this baby, I'm hoping so much I get some kind of supply.

Were they having enough wet diapers and gaining weight? Pumping isn't an indication of low or no supply. I could never pump more then 1/2-1oz per hour but breastfeed for two years with our oldest. You can also try mothers milk tea and funrek (spelling?).

nothing at all would come out! I would have them nurse for a long while a few times a day until they because frustrated and upset because they weren't getting anything.
I had them try all the time, even if it was just like using it as a paci but NOTHING. I felt weird after a few weeks because they were just nursing for no reason  
Even at the hospital they made me supplement and they REALLY push for BFing at mine. They weren't pooping or peeing.

Yeah babies do comfort nurse and probably were trying to up your supply too. All you can do is try again.

I'm going to work my booty off!  
I want to BF more than anything.

Clay comfort nurses. Its also to up your supply. Drink so much water you cant stand it and eat lots of heslthy foods (i know thats not an issue for you!). Also regular oatmeal that you have to make stove top style can up your supply.

That's a great attitude to have, and I wish you luck.
