I have seen this also and would love to have an answer. I have even had
a couple of women (over many years) who developed mastitis antenatally
who were in with issues related to pregnancy

Hi,

I work at a hospital and talked to a mom who is 28 weeks pregnant and
on bed rest. Her chief complaint is that her breasts are filling with
several knots, and increased colostrum leakage. Her physician is giving
her weekly injections of progesterone to inhibit premature delivery.

I am trying to understand how this hormonal influence would cause her
milk to come in so early. 

Thanks,
Brenda Phipps, BS, IBCLC
