Could I Be Pregnant?? - Amelia, OH

I am a mom of 4. When I got pregnant with my youngest, my next youngest was 13 months old, and guess how I knew I was pregnant? You guessed it, exactly the same way, I got out of the shower and I noticed my breasts were leaking. I had only stopped nursing my son 4 months earlier, so I called my sister to ask her if she ever started leaking again months after weaning a baby.

She just laughed at me and said, "Congratulations! I hope it's a girl this time!" I took a test the next day and was pregnant.

However, if you have taken a few tests and they are negative, I recommend that you go see your doctor. For one thing, your doctor can give you a much more accurate pregnancy test. For another, if you aren't pregnant, there may be another reason for the leaking that your doctor should know about.

Good luck!

My boobs leaked off and on for about 2 years after I had my second child

Well, yes to all of it...lol
I'd go see your doc and have a blood test done if you don't want to keep taking home tests.

Hi A., you may not be pregnant. The same thing happened to me. I have a 14 month old and about a month or two ago I saw something white leaking a bit after a shower and I pinched a little and sure enough is was colostrum. I kept pinching till it stopped, it wasn't much, just a few drops really. I don't know why it happened, but I wasn't pregnant. I did nurse my daughter and stopped a bit early, so that could be why. Honestly I think our bodies just kept producing it in small amounts till it was sure we didn't need it any more. I've been told by another mother of 9, that if my body did need it and for some reason I had to start nursing again, I could have. My body would have just increased production again. Amazing isn't it!

This did happen to me and my doctor told me to stop drinking caffiene. I am a big coffee drinker. Still - you should definitely check with your doctor when anything like that out of the ordinary is occuring. Good luck.

A. I had the same thing happen to me a couple of times and with me my system was screwed up that it thought I was pregnant but I was not. I had to be put on some medicine to get things under comtrol. I am not saying this is what is going on with you I am just saying this could be a possibility. If you are really worried about this you can call your doctors office and ask a nurse to help you out or just make that appointment.

This happens to me from time to time and i got it checked out and some women just do that. If you are worried you could always buy a test!

My youngest son is 15 months old, and my breasts still do this from time to time. My husband had a vasectomy last summer (2007) so I HOPE I'm not pregnant :-) I would place my bets with your body is doing crazy things.

I was told that a hot shower can always do that to you. My son was about three and it happened to me. Scared me too.

Call your OB and have them do a blood test. My friend has 3 kids and every time the home preg. test come back next and the urine test at the OB test come back neg. It is something about her urine, so they always have to do blood work.
