I dont know how many of you are prolacting
(leaking milk after your pregnancy) ..
And I told my doctor about it because I
thought it was no big deal the last couple
of years.. And was pregnant twice..
Miscarriage twice.. However my question
was how many of you went through that..
And had to do some lab work? And what did
they do at the lab? .. Well im not
freaking out.. It just that my doctor
said it is common thing, there is nothing
to worry about, just worried that why my
brain is sending these message.. And
could prevent pregnancies if lactacing..
Ya know.. But yeah..
It is just weird telling my doctor that..
Since I worked up the courage to tell her
because I was a bit embarrased to tell her
that im still leaking milk.. Not alot..
Only if there was any sexual play with the
nipple involved.. And that just concerned
me.
*sigh* I spent an hour in the obgyn office
today and it was pretty much hectic with
all the cute bellies in the office.
So if you could post your answers.. It
would be nice.

My son will be 18 months and I haven't
breastfed in about a year, but I still
leak on occassion. It's not much,
usually during stimulation, but it does
happen more than I would have expected.
I've never had any lab work done because
my doctor wanted to give my body time
still for the hormones to settle down...
She said it is normal. I guess it is
just hard for our bodies to turn off that
switch once it has been flipped on.
