Prolacting....
Posted: 12-12-06 19:32pm

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. Smile
