I sighed, Diane.

To me, as that breath went out, it was a shedding of whatever else in the world was happening.  I was here and centering on what was most important.

It was a very calming feeling.

So calming, in fact, that once after a car accident (no one was injured, but I was quite shaken), I knew that I had to breastfeed to calm myself even though my 3 mo nursling wasn't expressing any urgency to bfd at the time. 
And, by golly, those hormones did the trick!

Maybe for me, the sigh is in preparation/expectation of the hormones?
