Let Down Reflex-Not Breastfeeding
I'm wondering if I could be pregnant. I keep having a let down feeling and tingling in my breast and nipples. I have a child and I breast fed so I am familiar with this feeling but is it a tell tale sign of pregnancy? Any advise would be nice. Thank You
I have been having the "let down reflex" feeling along with a sensation of fulness and even heaviness in both my breasts, my youngest child is 4 and I last breast fed 3 1/2 yrs ago, and that was only for 6 months. I'm kind of worried, because I've been having this feeling on and off for almost 3 yrs. I've been wanting to ask my Dr. about it, but I'm not sure how to describe it to him.
Did you ever find out what was happening to you? This has been happening to me for the past 2 days and Im wondering if I should get checked out. Thanks!
No one has posted back to say if the breast let-down feeling was in fact a sign of pregnancy for them. I have BF both my babies (oldest 3 1/2, youngest 1 1/2) and this let-down feeling was true with my second pregnancy. I chalked it up to having stopped BFing my oldest only a few months before I got pg again. This time it's been awhile since I've BF and have not had any surging like I've been having the last few days. I'm about a week away from knowing if I'm PG again but I do believe this could be an early sign of PG for some women.
I am 44 and have not nursed in 6 years. I recently have been having the "let down" feeling in my right breast. Is it a hormone thing? There is absolutely NO way I can be pregnant and this is completely irritating!
Same age as you, same # of kids, youngest also 9, lately having same thing happen. Am looking for answers as well....
hi, I am 42 years old and breastfed all my children, but my youngest is 9 years old. I have always occ. felt a letdown sensation, but lately feel it almost daily, and a fullness in my breasts that reminds me of the feeling of needing to go find my baby so I can nurse. Has this happened to anyone else, and do you know the cause?
