Just joined have a female sort of question...

[Guest guest]

Alright this is kindof embarrassing but I would seriously like to

know. I amnot pregnant, nor have I ever been... and yet for the past

couple of weeks I have been lactating. Is this at all a normal thing?

I lost my job about a month ago, and my finace's 2 year old daughter

just moved in full time with us two weeks ago... and I have just been

through a lot of stress lately. I have even gained about 10 to 15

pounds as well. But I was checked at planned parenthood, and then just

the other day checked with a home test as well. I am not pregnant. ANd

I was told at my yearly I have healthy breasts... Anyone help me with

this by chance? Thanks.

I admit to being very new to all forms of alternative health. Take my

advice with a grain of salt.

 

I strongly recommend that you see a health professional as soon as

possible. If you haven't ever had a child recently, there should be no

reason why your breasts are lactating. I do hope that it is not some

form of discharge.

 

Proceed carefully, do your research, and don't let anything I've said

make you panic. If there is a local medical library in your area, you

may want to consider speaking to a research librarian to point you in

the right direction with your own personal research.

 

Best wishes.

Yes it is!

She is going to be " your " baby girl soon. And it is common to have a

" let-down " reflex while holding another woman's child. The weight gain could

be

sympathetic pregnancy. And the fact that your work is stressful, to me, may

mean that your body would rather be a mom than work outside the home. Have you

discussed this possiblity with your fiance?

 

This is my opinion, however. I am not an expert, but I am a mother of two

daughters who both really loved to nurse.

God bless you

See I am also on the depo shot, but I have never had this sort of

reaction before to anything. Embarrassing... but my fiance tells me

straight out it is milk, and not some weird discharge. Don't ask. Lol.

My work isn't so much stressful, I enjoy it. I have been doing

construction and such but have been doing that for years now. However

I have been out of work for the past month or so, so I figured that is

why I have gained weight. However the other thing? Have no idea why

that is happening. I did see a doctor at planned parenthood and asked

about it. They did the normal check they do every year and said I have

no lumps or anything so thats good. And that I am healthy but not

pregnant. So just confused and worried. Do you think maybe the tests

are lying and I am pregnant? Or just, as said, my body thinking it is

because of everything happening lately? Thank you for the answers... I

wasn't sure what to expect here.
