Breastfeeding

FTM Q re: leaky boobs

Hi ladies, I'm still pregnant and I've been leaking every now and again since about 30 weeks or so. Totally normal from what I've read. However, the books say it should be thick, yellowish colostrum but from what I can tell (sometimes I gently express or just watch it leak b/c I'm fascinated that liquid is coming out of my nipple lol) the leak is clear fluid! Should it be proper colostrum? Does the clear fluid mean I have useless, watery colostrum/breast milk? I'm really excited for BFing and determined to give it my best shot, but this has me concerned. 

I'll bring it up at my 39-week appt tomorrow morning, but I thought maybe some BFing mommies had some insight and experience with this late in their pregnancy. 

TIA!
