Well, it is not normal unless you or some one else is playing with or sucking on your breasts, which would stimulate hormones that start lactation. In this case, your body has been tricked into thinking it needs to produce milk for feeding. My suggestion is to refrain from touching your breasts for two weeks unless actually necessary.

I have heard it is possible to lactate when a baby is crying around you (probably something to do with the maternal instinct) but I am not sure and you may want to verify my answer

Yes it is, because when you think about it most of the women only start lactating when they are no longer pregnant, when they give birth to their child.
