This afternoon while feeding dd2 I went to reattach due to some discomfort. When she came off there was a bright red blood clot on my nipple. I was thinking she must have damaged my nipple bad, but when I cleaned it up the nipple seemed fine. I continued to feed her. After the feed she spat up a lot of blood. I rang the ob and he said the blood will have been mine and it won't harm the baby.
Due to the amount I assume I have ruptured something inside the breast?
I tried to drag out feeding from that side for a while and then when I did I tried a different position to see if that helps. I have no way of knowing if it's still bleeding though, apart from having a slight pain whilst feeding on the inner part of the breast, but I am just assuming it's related?
Now tonight the poor child won't settle, has done about 4 stools in a row, all black coffee style, which I assume is because of all the I ingested blood. What can I do? Has it upset her tummy bad?
What can I do about the bleeding?? I feel so lost
