Why am I lactating? - Didn't know where to post this....

MomToJade&Jordan wrote: Jade has been weaned for almost 2 years. The last time I checked I wasn't producing anything. My breasts have been feeling a bit fuller today so when I got out of the shower I did a test and there was some bm. I was like whoa!? Is that supposed to happen? What exactly does this mean? It was just weird because I have NOT been producing milk for a while. TIA guys!

kimberley replied: ummm..... do u think u might be pg? you can lactate early on in subsequent pg's. if not, could be a surge in hormones? not sure. keep us posted!!!

A&A'smommy replied: I was just going to ask if it is possible for you to be pregnant thats the only thing I can think of

coasterqueen replied: I agree with Kimberley, could you be pg? I've heard of women still producing milk YEARS after nursing their young, but it is out of the ordinary.

MomToMany replied: ITA, maybe you're pregnant?!?!?!?! Please let us know; you know we don't like suspense!!

amynicole21 replied: If you aren't pg, I would call your Gyn... not to freak you out, but sometimes that can be a sign of a problem. My sister had this, and she has never had a child (she never did get it checked out, but I did some searching online and of course thought the worst). She's fine now of course.

That is really weird, though

Kaitlin'smom replied: HUmmm I am still producing a little, Kaitlin has been fully weeded for about 10 months, so I wonder if I will ever truly stop

course this reminds me of my dream last night that Kaitlin started nursing again

but if you are not PG then maybe as your doc

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I'm not sure if I could be pg. Had AF, it was a couple of days early and kind of weird, but I had one. I guess I am going to have to take a test. That or make an appt with my gyn to see why I could be lactating again all of sudden. Maybe get a blood test done while I'm there. They are still sort of full this morning and producing small amounts of milk.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I was just going to ask the same thing as everyone else! I know when I got pregnant with Claudia I started producing milk early on. Keep us posted!

MomToMany replied: Wow, let us know what you find out!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Please keep us posted. I am leaking bm at times, too, but Ethan hasn't been weaned very long. I agree that you need to call the OB/GYN.

DansMom replied: I know someone who suddenly lactated when she heard a baby cry, and her little one was long-weaned. She screamed "OMG, my milk just came in!!" It was very strange and we laughed about it for years. I don't think it ever happened to her again. I wonder if the shower induced some kind of association. Or... take that test

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Well I had a blood test done yesterday and it was neg. I am just waiting for the doc to call me back so I can set up an appt. I guess we are trying to get pg again without much sucess so I guess it would be a good time to ask her why we are having trouble. I will keep everyone posted as I get news. Thank you all for your help.

Mommy2BAK replied: well i hope you get it figured out!

I have always wanted to tell you that my best friend's name is Laura Jade, and other than your Jade she is the only Jade I have ever heard of. I love that name!! I have contemplated on naming a daughter (if I have another) Emma Jade.

kimberley replied: good luck with the doc and sending lots of ~*~*baby dust*~*~ your way!

MomToJade&Jordan replied:
Thank you. Her Daddy actually picked out her name. Her middle name was always going to be Rose though.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I am just waiting for a phone call from Major Wells to set up the appt. I have a whole bunch of questions and she is pretty cool so I won't deal with anyone but her.
