Leaking Breasts

I leaked for almost a year after I stopped breast feeding. I wouldn't think that you would leak if you were pregnant. Sometimes it just takes awhile for your milk to dry up. I personally wouldn't worry about it!

Even if you're not nursing anymore you can still produce some if they're still getting stimulated. The Doc told me to tell my husband to chill out for a while(away from the boobs) so they can adjust again. Now you can conceive during your cycle. Even though we attempted to conceive a day prior to my cycle starting, according to all my ultrasounds she was conceived on the second day of that cycle. So either way a Doc would be able to give you the specific reason and it's good to get checked out. Hope you find this useful.

I've had issues with that in the past as well. I experienced that same feeling and the leaking about 1YEAR after weaning my son. Does the discharge look similar to breast milk or does it look concerning? If it keeps up, don't hesitate to ask your Dr. about it. They would rather see you and have it be nothing than not see you and have it be something.

Always talk to your doctor! Leaking breasts can be normal, even several months after weaning your baby, but it can also be a sign of other things. Best to check it out and then you can have peace of mind. Also, it would be very unlikely that you are pregnant. Good luck!

my sister in law lactated while pregnant, but i'm not sure how early in the pregnancy. my mother in law once thought she was pregnant because she started lactating (white, not colostrum), which had happened with her before during pregnancies (and she was having other pregnancy-like symptoms) but it turned out to be a cyst and the beginning of menopause.

Not sure on the pregnancy issue, but I would feel the same sensations after I was done nursing. It was not uncommon for me to feel this for up to 2 years after and still have some leaking. After #4 I questioned if it would ever stop, he is 5 and it has not happened for a long time.

Good luck!

I have had this problem in the past. It was like a majoryly delayed reaction let down. I get the sensation still every once and a while, but now without the leak.

Is the leaking happening after you touch your nipples or is it just happening on its own? i quit breastfeeding a year ago and am still leaking but only if my breasts are stimulated. I did research it and it is common for your breasts to still produce milk in very small amounts. if it is a funky color (green!) i would get it checked out! if it is kinda oily and yellow/cream colored i would think this was normal. But, if you are worried you should DEFINITELY get it checked by a doc! it is not worth the worry to leave for to long. Also, i still leaked some after my first child 9 years ago for about 6 - 8 months, this time it was longer. so it is normal, just depends on how much.
Good luck and God Bless A., and please, if you are worried go to the doctor!!!!

I know remember my mom telling me that she leaked for a year after she nursed me, I am the oldest of two. I didn't experience this with my first and I am nursing my second still.

A.,

I kinda of had that same problem this time last yr. But It had been a little longer from the time that I had quite nursing. I just blew it off as my job. I do daycare and started to take care of a few infants that were nursed babies so they like to snuggle up to you or I figured it was the crying. When I went to see my obgyn. He was concerned and wanted to run a blood test and said that it could be sign of a medical problem and wanted to check it out. In my case it ended up being nothing like I originally thought it was but it can't hurt to check it out...

Hi, My breasts leaked long after I stopped nursing. It happens, don't worry about it. I definately don't think you can become pregnant while your menstrating. Have a great day!
