[tweetyfoo]

Really bloody hurts today!

Is it a sign of something or does it just hurt more sometimes?

No worries not nice I know : ( x
Hope it isn't the start of it for you : )

 

[tweetyfoo]

Its really bloody hurting - I'm getting very sharp stabby pains (mostly in right boob), its making me yelp in pain and jump!

For the quack tomorrow I think

It could be mastitis tweety, but I had similar symptoms with thrush xxx

 

[cosmicgirl]

I had pain after a feed, it was like a strong burnt let down but afterwards. It was thrush x

 

[tweetyfoo]

I'm getting it all the time, I.e when I'm not expressing also ... Will see the gp tomorrow

It feels like contractions in my boobs there is a peak to the pain!

Yeah the peak to the pain was same for me only had it in my right boob but god so painful when let down came in I could of cried
Even worse when LO was feeding from that breast

Hope all goes well at doctors fingers crossed get it sorted : ) x

 

[tweetyfoo]

Looks like its Mastitis, I text SIL (ex HV) and she told me to check my boobs - they are covered in red blotches!

The pain is getting worse - shooting pains every 10-30 seconds.

Having a hot bath then going to try expressing again

 

[cosmicgirl]

Get sone paracetamol down you hun x

 

[lizylou]

Awww hun sorry to hear that
Yes deff take paracetamol and stick out the expressing or BF as they say worst thing you can do is stop your routine as painful as it is : (
Hope your better soon x

 

[lizylou]

Also what helps is hot or cold compresses and massage the affected breast before expressing / feeding oh and take showers throughout the day
Don't wear tight clothing or a tight bra too
And you can always try cabbage leaves
And keep up the paracetamol till doc sees you
Feel better soon x

Oh no! Hugs! Hope you manage to get it cleared up quickly xxx

 

[tweetyfoo]

Today I've woken feeling flu-ey - sore throat, achey joints etc. It might be coincidence as Aaron isn't well either. The pains dont seem to be as bad as they were last night, so hoping its clearing.

Just going to try and get through it without antibiotics, as I could really do without the extra worry that my milk will dry up again.

I felt like I had flu when I had mastitis. I had an awful temp and was goose bumpy and shivering.
Hope you feel better soon x
