Stopped nursing my son 1yr. ago, all the sudden boobs leaking

Stopped nursing my son 1yr. ago, all the sudden boobs leaking?
I was forced to stop nursing my son a year ago when he was 6 months because my milk dried up. All of the sudden today they're leaking again. My husband just got home from 2 months in Germany and we just had sex for the 1st time, since he left, about a week ago. And I definitely haven't slept with anyone else ( that I know of.. lol JK!).. I took a pregnancy test and it came out neg. Has anyone else had this problem?

Some of the hormones that are involved in breastfeeding are the same as hormones your body produces during sex. It's possible that having sex, particularly after a long abstinence, triggered your body to produce a little bit of milk. It's nothing to worry about.
2 :
Oxytocin is responsible for milk letdown. It is also the same hormone released during sex and in larger amounts during orgasm.

There are several things you should look into, in your situation. First off: Why do you want to move to Germany? Do you have German citizenship or are you a citizen of another member of the Schengen-Visa states? If not, you will need a work visa to stay in any Schengen-country for more than (I think) 6 months. To get a work visa or permit, you basically have to have a job in a Schengen-country. The employer, though, will only be aloud to give you the job if you can prove that you have specific skills in that work field that no German or European employee has. So it is very hard for US Americans to get a job in Germany, if they are not employed by the Army or are with a (German or European) spouse. 2nd: Nursing in Germany is not a BSN degree. Becoming a nurse in Germany you do vocational training (2 -3 years), not college. So the degree would not transfer directly, I guess. 3rd: Germany has many nurses right now who are unemployed. Hospitals and care facilities are staffing only the minimum of needed personnel, bridging over deficiencies with untrained people, youth who do a gap year in the social sector, interns, temporary helps or nurses on mini job (400รข‚¬ a month). So it is very hard for them to find a job that pays the bills, and the employers can pick and choose from the market as it is. As we have no further information on your situation, it is very hard to give you any information that would help you job- or education-wise, other than: Learn German. Without good language skills, it is virtually impossible to find a job in Germany. Good luck. @George: And if you ever had had a relative in a care facility and talked to the nurses there, they would have told you what they are paid and that there usually is only one trained nurse there at night, the rest being untrained temporary personell, because trained people are too expensive for them to hire. And if you had ever talked to the people standing around the Arbeitsagentur, you would know how many of them have originally been nurses and are now getting "Umschulung" after "Umschulung". Where do you get your facts from? The people and situations you look at when you open your eyes or a fancy magazine with loads of nice statistics? Geez! And than you even take it out in public and don't let people answer to your insults through a mail. Kindisch. Echt.
2 :
American degrees are not recognised in Germany, so you probably will have to pass extra tests to get the degree recognised, that said there is a real need for people working in the sector you want to work but be aware the paycheck will not be great. Good luck
3 :
Bernd is correct Fracceled apparently is NOT German otherwise she would be aware that not only there are nO unemployed nurses on the contrary Germany has not enough nurses but that is due to the reason Bernd mentioned already nurses are not payed good enough. @ Frackeled if you claim to be German ever heared the word Pflegenotstand?! Get your facts straight before posting nonsense on here and confusing people who have questions!

Why didn't Obama visit the wounded troops and doctors and nurses while in Germany? He canceled on them, which

There are not wounded troops in Germany, there is no war going on there.
2 :
Some of his big money supporters would not want him seen as supporting the military, would be my guess. So, he went to the Ritz Carlton for a workout. Much more important.
3 :
well ur right, prob disappointed some but thrilled others...cuz the last thing i want when im laid up in the hospital is freakin Barack LUNCH-BOX Obama walking in my room stuttering and spitting all over me and my freakin I.V. tube...ugh, yuck!
4 :
Scheduling conflict? I only know the silly season is called that for a reason.
5 :
He can't visit everybody...I think it's great that at least he's there talking and trying to touch as many people lives as he can! Look at old man McCain...he's here talking about how he doesn't want to visit anyone until he's THE president...well it's not gonna happen unless you get your old lazy butt out there!!!
6 :
Because he can't handle the troops on any level. He is an opportunist and chose to try and emulate Kennedy and Reagan by speaking near the old Berlin Wall. What a boon.
7 :
Troops are just little people in the minds of elitist liberals. They don't count according to liberals.
8 :
He had to get back to his hotel and work out...didn't you hear?
9 :
Germany has a very large vet hospice for Iraqi troops and the reason he did not go was he said it is not right to be campaigning and visit troops. Too bad this trip is not campaigning. There are no votes to be won in Germany. He will have to do better than that.
10 :
And next you can complain that the secret service protection is costing too much: he needs to go more places and have less protection seems to be the theme of the day. You all are starting to sound like nags.
11 :
Curious is uninformed about wounded soldiers who are sent to Germany for treatment. I of all people an not an Obama fan but the Pentagon is now taking for not allowing Obama to visit the troops which is "fishy" but Obama did not increase his popularity with the military during his "visit' he just cemented his dislike of the military.
12 :
He knew you needed some new material to bash him with. Your proof is so convincing
13 :
Sadly, because Osama I mean Obama thinks they are traitors and he doesn't believe their sacrifices are worthwhile. This is just the latest proof he is TOTALLY UNPATRIOTIC! Peace

yes there is thats where all our injured from iraq and afganistan go.
2 :
"The Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) is an overseas military hospital operated by the United States Army and the Department of Defense. LRMC is the largest military hospital outside of the continental United States. It is located near Landstuhl, Germany, and serves as the nearest treatment center for wounded soldiers coming from Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, it serves military personnel stationed in Germany as well as their family members. A large proportion of serious casualties from the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters are treated here, flown in via Ramstein Air Base." wiki I don't know where they would station you but I am sure if you got a BSN you could join the Army and I bet they would honor that assignment.

You go where they need you, and they really don't care if you can speak German or not. You may end up at Landstuhl or you may end up at Ft. Leavenworth, or you may end up somewhere else! I'm not sure about the Army, but I know that AF officer corp only stays in place for 2 - 3 years, and the medical corp is not allowed to get an in-place consecutive overseas tour. (IPCOT)
