Lactating

Samantha

Question... my first is almost 17 months and my husband and I recently decided to start TTC #2. This evening before I got in the shower I realized my breasts were slightly tender (not completely abnormal for me the week before my period) and for some reason I reached down to hand express and I lactated. Is there a reason this would happen? I pumped for my last time when my 1st was 6 months old soooo it’s been a while since I’ve been able to hand express anything. I’m currently in my two week window before pregnancy testing so I’m trying not to get my hopes up.
