Thats why I don't think it is let down pain, because I have never really heard of let down pain starting until the milk comes it.<br /> Thanks for the compliment. I love my job so much, I feel for parents leaving their babies so much, I still can't imagine how hard it is for Moms. They really have to trust us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaking-and-pain#post-65236 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:26:15 +0000 lemondrop 65236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds awful! Hope your OB has some helpful advice! I only had drops released until about day 4 after the boy arrived, I never let out streams of anything until my milk came in. </p> <p>That all being said, I really appreciate what you do for a job, we had bilirubin issues and the newborn nurses were the best!! It sucked to leave my baby, but they made me feel better about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaking-and-pain#post-65232 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:21:31 +0000 MsMini 65232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: It isn't really buzzy/electrical feeling, but literally like someone is stabbing a knife behind my nipple. I am only 26 weeks, so it seems really early for something like this, but I will definitely ask my OB when I see her on Monday. There really isn't anything to let down yet, just drops. I am sure it is unusual, because most people aren't around a ton of newborns during their pregnancy, but it is a little distressing because it is enough to make me wince. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaking-and-pain#post-65230 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:16:01 +0000 lemondrop 65230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check with your doctor of course, but that sounds a lot like letdown to me. Especially since you are around little ones at work. Kind of an electrical "zing" behind your nipples?</p> <p>I can't say that I ever noticed it before my son was born, but I notice it now that he's here- it is noticeable, but not intense these days if that makes any sense? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaking-and-pain#post-65218 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:57:48 +0000 MsMini 65218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I have been having some slight leakage from my nipples on both sides for a couple weeks. It isn't enough to need any kind of breast pads or whatnot yet. It happens mostly at work when I am around newborn babies who are hungry (rooting and crying behaviour seems to illicit the leaking mostly).</p> <p>My question is, do most people have pain when they leak? I get a stabbing pain behind the nipple, and that seems to only happen when I have leaking.</p> <p>Is this sensation going to lessen/go away? It is really uncomfortable, and I can't imagine how bad it will feel when you add other breastfeeding pain onto it! </p>
