That would definitely be awkward... Especially because he said the medical term. I don't know why, but that word makes me cringe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445472 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:19:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 445472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: LOL I couldn't stop laughing. I mean, he'd seen worse when I delivered, so I didn't care. And he's laidback so he pointed it out first - he went, "Oh - I made you lactate!" and started laughing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445469 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:18:29 +0000 travelgirl1 445469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: oh my gosh!

She pointed it out! Gasp. Fortunately I had a scarf I was able to artfully arrange until my shirt dried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445202 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:43:15 +0000 mamimami 445202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smocks: you can apply pressure to your boob and it will stop or possibly not start if you apply pressure as soon as you feel the tingle. At least that works for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445197 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:41:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 445197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had it happen in a few bad places. Sometimes I was able to just kinda pull my shirt down/over so it wasn't right on my boob. Or I pulled a jacket on to cover it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445194 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:40:30 +0000 mediagirl 445194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lying on the dentist's chair while under gas for my root canal. That was fun.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445190 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:39:00 +0000 smocks 445190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What?! Geez. Stupid question, but can you, like, pinch it off to stop the flow? Or does it just go until you're empty? I'm due in 2 months, eek. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445167 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:26:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 445167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At a Muse concert!! I was bobbing up and down just a teeny bit and *tingle*. I was wearing nursing pads but this was when I was overproducing so I grabbed my chest and screamed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445154 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:16:33 +0000 BananaPancakes 445154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at my SIL's inlaws' lake house on Memorial Day. In front of her entire IL family (MIL, FIL, BIls, SILs,etc) I let down all over my shirt. I didn't have pads on because I had a swimsuit on and hadn't leaked in weeks, so I figured I was safe. But my son rooted for like 2 seconds and it was over. So embarrassing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445122 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:04:14 +0000 blackbird 445122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>holy crap. the things you learn. i had actually googled 'let down' a couple weeks ago because it was mentioned in a book and I couldn't figure out what it was, so I gave up. Annnnd now i know. This is why they say some babies don't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445110 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:01:55 +0000 Alivoo01 445110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!!! I'd be so mortified/embarassed even though it wasn't anything I could control. haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445100 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:58:24 +0000 Mrsbells 445100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I have really forceful let down but I always wear nursing pads, so no one other than me has to know </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445099 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:58:19 +0000 prettylizy 445099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After her first shots I nursed her to calm her down, as soon as she calmed down I popped her off to get her dressed and sprayed milk all over the exam table, walls floor :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445091 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:54:40 +0000 mrsjazz 445091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had this happen!</p> <p>@blackbird: Oh yes, you can be a faucet. In the days of when I had a really forceful letdown I could point and shoot across the room :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445088 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:53:04 +0000 blackbird 445088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man. I didn't know that it would do that. I knew you could leak but i didn't realize that you could literally be a faucet of breastmilk. How embarrassing! At least you were at a specialty store and they've probably dealt with this before </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445075 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:49:13 +0000 hilsy85 445075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha the same thing happened to me when I bought nursing bras...luckily, the store had disposable pads handy to put in the bra before you tried it on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445069 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:44:42 +0000 Bao 445069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh oh no! No embarrassing ones, yet...thankfully </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-is-the-most-embarrassing-place-youve-ever-let-down#post-445052 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:37:06 +0000 travelgirl1 445052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So today I went to the mall to buy a new nursing bra and as I was trying it on I thought to myself, I'm surprised they let people try on nursing bras, what happens if they let down? Then omg, there it was, that unmistakable tingling. Agh! I ripped it off, milk spilling over my jeans, boots and the changing room floor, and put my old one on, just before the shop assistant tried to come in to check the fit, lol. Super embarrassing at the checkout, lol.</p> <p>Have you had any embarrassing let downs? Where? Make me feel better! </p>
