In these situations it's mental. The mind is a powerful thing. If a particularly strong maternal urge arises it can cause lactation. These are often common in women who have had abortions.

You can induce lactation when you have never been pregnant. Some mothers who adopt do this so that they can breast feed. There are articles on induced lactation, Google for them.

How make yourself lactate without getting pregnant?

every woman who is self-confident, in good mental health, and whose breasts are physically sound can induce lactation and breast feed. Lactation, whether induced or postpartum, is not dependent on any of the sexual organs, rather it is the result of a positive mental attitude, physical stimulation of the breasts, and brain chemistry. This is true for women who have never been pregnant, as well as women who are post-hysterectomy or post-oophorectomy. For most women, the ability to lactate and breast feed typically begins in the teen years, and extends well past the child bearing years. Even though nipple and breast stimulation often cause sexual arousal, the mammary system functions independently of the reproductive organs, making it possible to induce lactation and breast feed without having been pregnant. The quality of milk and the physical means by which a woman lactates, after having artificially induced lactation, is identical to postpartum lactation with the exception of the production of colostrum. Colostrum, which is normally produced for the first few days postpartum, is not produced during the process of induced lactation or relactation. Physical techniques of suckling, methods of increasing lactation, and care of the breasts are the same for induced lactation as it is for postpartum lactation. The only differences between induced lactation and postpartum lactation is the method by which the essential milk producing hormones are stimulated into production and the lack of colostrum.... http://stargatelibraries.com/PossibleToInduce.html


I had my tubes tied 2 yrs ago after my second child I'm not late yet but have noticed alot of tenderness and lactation coming from my breasts what are the chances i am pregnant?

Lactation doesn't begin until your belly is big already. You'd know you're pregnant, unless you're really fat.
