I'm still on a strong course of antibiotics - amoxicillin - due to issues with last pregnancy in the attempt to reduce infection so I don't think mastitis would be able to settle in while on these, I am keeping an eye on things though as I'm scared of infection... also been on the look out for thrush but no signs that I can see with that either...

thankfully I am seeing the GP I prefer on Thursday morning (it's a drop in centre rather than appointment run) and she use to be a OB I believe and seems pretty clued on with kids / babies so fingers crossed breasts are covered in her special talents.

I did read today on here somewhere never to give up on your worst day and it's not like I can run down the road for formula either being that it's only 7 days post op... I just want this pain to ease...
