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
