Milk during pregnancy?

Ok, so I stopped breastfeeding my 1st baby about 3 months ago. I am about 8 weeks pregnant and I don't think my milk ever dried up. I know colostrum is normal during pregnancy around 16+ weeks ( I had it with my first pregnancy). Has this happened to anyone else? Before I became pregnant while I was trying to let my milk dry up I could get a few drops out, but now they drip on their own! Maybe it's from taking prenatal vitamins again or is my body just ready?!

1. Some woman just have a wonderful ability to produce milk. Most woman in my family do not however I do and 3 years after having my last son still leak sometimes. When you pump you dont get as much milk out as you do breastfeeding so chances are you never really dried up so your body just continues to produce milk. That is great since you breastfeed. I wouldn't worry about it, it is all a hormonal thing telling your body to produce more milk because you are already use to breastfeeding.
2. in alot of women especially those who breastfed their other children can have some leakage. talk to your doc about it just to be sure, though...good luck!!!!!!
