milk coming in very early

[ladycarlotta]

Hi! I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced their milk coming in, in very early pregnancy. I stopped bf my daughter in February, my milk definitely dried up, but since then I've had two miscarriages and I suspect a chemical, and each time I've started lactating quickly, like around the 4 week mark. I didn't get any milk until 26 weeks or so with my pregnancy that went to term.

I've heard of this anecdotally before but just wondering if it's happened to anyone else. It dried up again after my last miscarriage but it's now back along with other pregnancy symptoms which for me are nausea, exhaustion, and waking up very early. It's really too early for me to test though.

Hey OP, this happened to me! I had 2 chemicals this year and milk came in like straight away around 3-4 weeks.

Yes! I've had this too. I'm 14 weeks pregnant with DS3 and I noticed my breasts started to leak a little of what looked like colostrum extremely early, well before the positive test, at about 3 weeks. This also happened once or twice earlier this year with what were probably false starts / chemical pregnancies. I was surprised because my older children are 6 and 8 so it's been ages since I was pregnant or breastfeeding!

I do remember the same thing happened with DS2, though a bit later on, about 7 or 8 weeks maybe -- I was in hospital at the time as had very severe HG and when I mentioned it to the doctors they wanted to rule out some very rare brain problem but once they'd done that they lost interest and said I probably just had weird high hormones! My HGC has always been very high in all my pregnancies, I don't know if that's linked.

Anyway, I'd say for me it has definitely been a sign of conception each time, though not necessarily of successful implantation (since like you I had it with chemical pregnancies as well as this successful pregnancy). It's quite weird but I assume within the bounds of normality!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! Thanks @Ckhw, hope if you're TTC all goes well for you now. Chemicals are a bummer.
I phoned the recurrent miscarriage clinic I'm under to run it by them the other day and the woman I spoke to thought it was weird but fine. @kalidasa yes I agree that it seems to be a sign of conception, this time round it's happened more like after ovulation or at the 3 weeks point. I get that sort of tingly 'let down' feel. If it is another chemical don't think this one's going to stick as I feel very PMT now but fingers crossed.
