-------It's nonsens, as far as I know. The hormones necessary for being 
pregnant ánd give birth are oestrogen and relaxine. The hormones necessary 
to breastfeed are prolactin and oxytocin.
Hormones, hormones, hormones. They áre difficult to pronounce and it's very 
complicated science, but they are alllllll different. Yes, women are walking 
hormone-bombs and no matter whát they have (headaches, loose-ness, itch, 
baby's or milk) it's always all due to hormones.

By the way: Dutch ancestors??
