It is normal but not really common. It is called re-lactating. Some women actually try to make it happen by stimulating the breasts as if they were breast feeding and then the lactating will start back up. For you, was there something that was stimulating your nipples similar to breast feeding? Like clothes rubbing or stimulation during sex? Something like that caused you to re-lactate.
