Last night and early this morning I had some moments of paranoia that maybe my annoying back pain was not from my pulling something in my back but from another ectopic pregnancy and I nearly got up and went to the drugstore in the middle of the night to get a pregnancy test. I convinced myself that this was just paranoia. But in the morning I woke up and got the test and did it anyway -- though as I drove to the store and the advil and coffee kicked in I was better.
And then I suddenly got my period a week early.
God I hate that freaky feeling -- "is this how it felt? what if it is? Is this why I was lactating spontaneously the other day? " and then remembering all the hideous progression of uncertainty and events and fears from 1999....
Anyway now I feel totally fine and am laughing at myself.
You were lactating spontaneously the other day?

did that sound funny? I was just walking around and suddenly realized I was leaking milk -- just a little bit but enough that I had to change my shirt as it made a goofy looking wet spots.
This used to happen to me all the time, way before I ever got pregnant. A couple of times doctors did some kind of blood test on me to make sure it wasn't... I forget what... but it wasn't whatever that would have been... so there was some shrugging and figuring everything was okay.
Don't anyone tell Severin's wife as she will chase me around trying to suck my tits.
