I dont know what the heck is going on with me? Firstly i am not pregnant. But i am moody, i blame it on PMS and a couple of days ago i started lactating again. I have not been breastfeeding for about 8 months. I found for the past week and a bit my breasts have been exteremly itchy, and i noticed over the weekend that i was leaking a little and low and behold, i have milk? Naturally my first thought was oh crikey not again but after doing the pregnancy test and the confirming period, i am not pregnant.
Has anyone else had this? Bout of depression, getting really angry with my spouse, sometimes feeling hopeless?
And its just at him. I cannot get angry at my 8 month old daughter, but i do seem to be getting more nad more frustrated and emotion with my husband.

My son is 8 month old and I breastfeed him only for like 3 weeks and I am still lactating and my Dr. thinks it weird because I am still producing so much.

I have an 8 month old son and haven't breast fed since he was 3-4 weeks old but i have a bit of leakage sometimes. I just assume it's normal and hormones as it only happens every now and then and even if i squeeze a little comes out but only from my left breast. Weird! Maybe talk to your Dr about the feelings you are experiencing. He/she may able to help with the lactacting too.
