If I have milk coming from my breast, does that mean I could be pregnant?

Question

I am not breast feeding. I have two children, but they are not babies anymore. They are two and three. I have only ever have milk in my breasts while I was pregnant. Could there be another reason?

Answer 1

Maybe it isn't milk. One symptom of breast cancer is discharge from your breast. See your doctor at once.

Answer 2

I wouldn't think that you still would have milk coming from your breasts due to older children unless they were breast fed, and you hadn't weaned them until recently. Hormone fluctuations, infection, and various other things could cause this problem. Make an appt. with your Doc. just to be sure.

Answer 3

An estrogen spike. That's what brings it on when you have a baby. Have you started, stopped, or switched birth control lately? It is a symptom of pregnancy, but not until the 2nd trimester, so you would probably already know if you were pregnant.

Answer 4

not sure but u usually dont get milk leaking out until the 5 or 6 month

Answer 5

it could but then again your hormones may be at a peak and that causes them to leak and its not milk its called colostrum. then again just because you have kids 2 and 4 doesn't mean your milk dried up

Answer 6

i guess u might have spilled some milk on ur breast.. nothing to worry about..

Answer 7

1st of all, milk doesn't come out usually until after you have had the kid. Its Colostrum. You should really go to: www.webmd.com

Answer 8

NOT REALLY SURE I PERSONALLY I HAVE NEVER HAD MILK LEAK UNLESS I WAS FURTHER ALONG IN PREGNENCY OR JUST HAD A BABY.

Answer 9

if your on medication some can cause that problem
