Not quite.

Breastfeeding releases oxytocin which causes the woman's pelvic muscles to contact so she doesn't spend the rest of her life with her guts hanging out after everything stretched out during pregnancy. That's similar to the female orgasm but many women find it painful, particularly in the weeks after giving birth.
