I'm planning to conceive soon and want to be prepared for breastfeeding. Is it possible to start lactating or prepare my body for it even before I get pregnant?
My consultant at Max Hospital clearly told me that lactation only starts after delivery due to hormonal shifts. If you are leaking fluid now without being pregnant, please visit your doctor immediately to check your prolactin levels. Don't ignore this.
Lactating before pregnancy is not normal and you should definitely not try to force it. Only do gentle yoga if your doctor allows, but please consult your gynac about this hormone issue. It's important to get checked.
Lactation toh delivery ke baad hi shuru hota hai, ho na? Pregnancy se pehle leakage hona normal nahi hai, haan. Tum thoda check karwa lo doctor se, bilkul darna mat par dikha lena.
Having PCOS can sometimes mess up your prolactin hormones, which can cause abnormal fluid discharge. I had this issue once and my doctor had to prescribe some tests to balance it. Please don't try any home remedies, just see your gynac.
Thyroid issues can also cause high prolactin, leading to fluid discharge before pregnancy. I had thyroid and my doctor monitored my levels closely because of this. Please book an appointment with your doctor to get your blood tested.
