Last night was a stressful night. Ds was in the ER because he fell and hit his head. Of course the bleeding looked traumatic, but it turned out to only be a little tiny scrape. DH and the doctor both told me I over reacted, but the doctor was really nice to me and told me what to look out for the next time ds falls.
Anyway, I was super upset and couldn't quit crying. While on hold with the after hours nurse line the hold message was talking about traumatic brain injuries from "simple falls". And, learning disabilities, speech delays, etc from a fall. I freak out. The nurse says bring him in.
ANYWAY, last night I felt "letdown". I'm 24 weeks pregnant and stoped nursing 4 months ago. I didn't need to wean because my supply was nearly depleted from the pregnancy and ds hated the taste of my milk. Today I noticed little drops of MILK. NOT colustrum. Been there done that.
Do you think I'm producing more milk or that it was simply emotional and it's leftovers?!

I had "Irish Twins" (born 17 months apart) and I found that I was producing milk fairly soon into the pregnancy. (My 1st 'baby' was 10 months old and I was probably 4 months pregnant).
I wouldn't be concerned, but understand your fear.
Regarding the head trauma with Ds... any kind of cut on the head will produce alot of blood, even if it's just a scratch! You're not overreacting, your being protective. If you're ever unsure... get it checked out! :D

I think the rush of emotion may have produced a bit of milk...i wouldnt say you have a full supply back in at the moment ...but the extreme emotional roller coaster...i mean, talk about feeling maternal???? There will be colostrum for the next baby

That's totally normal. All of the emotional stress put your body in overload-mode, hence the let-down reflex.
Nothing to worry about ;)
Some Moms can maintain quite a supply despite weaning, you seem to be one of those lucky ones.

It is not uncommon for women who breastfed their babies to leak a drop of milk occassionally particularly during sex, high emotional situations, or even when relaxing such as yoga. This can happen for months or even years after weaning.

Consult your doctor. I personally don't think this is abnormal. Especially if you just stopped nursing and you are pregnant. According to my husband, I still had leftovers many months after breastfeeding my three:)

Its actually normal to leak from time to time as you get further in to your pregnancy. This also tends to be more normal with second, third, and so on pregnancies, especially if you just weaned one off.
