Feelings before letdown?

St

Hey everyone! Had my baby girl 7 weeks ago, and have been experiencing feelings before my letdown ever since my milk came in. I get this totally awesome uncontrollable excitement and giddiness in my throat and chest, sometimes I let out a giggle that I just really can’t help. Then I feel that prickly feeling in my boobs when my milk lets down.

Are the feelings common? I know reading around online, there’s dysphoric milk ejection reflex, but that’s more for negative emotions.

Any other mamas feel this way?

If it helps, I also didn’t experience two weeks of “baby blues” as sadness, but as an amazing high. I felt so so lucky to have my baby, and found it a privilege to get to be her momma. I loved the feeling.
