This time round my let down is bearable and just feels a bit hot and tingly. It definitely did not feel like that last time! With DS is was like someone were stabbing my nipples and areolae and it lasted ages (the let down itself and the duration till I never got it anymore whilst feeding) - it would have been about 6 months with DS at least. Nipple vasospasm didn't help, initially, but when that disappeared, the stabby sensationed remained.
