Yesterday my left breast started to feel a little bit tender around the nipple. It took me aback a bit, because once out of the first trimester my breasts have not been tender or sore at all. Since then it has progressed to the whole left breast being almost unbearably sore. It feels very deeply bruised, sensitive and tender. Every now and then I'll get a shooting pain. I have also felt very under the weather today and for the past couple of days - fatigued, now energy, achy, a bit of a runny nose. I spoke to my Doula this evening and she said it sounds very much like mastitis. It's rare for someone to get mastitis when pregnant and not BFing, bit apparently it can happen. I have been producing a lot of colostrum, leaking everywhere, able to squirt etc, and over the past week it hasn't really been leaking like it has in the past. I've been massaging my left boob in the shower, it's so painful, and I could only get one or two small droplets of colostrum from it when I tried and that was agony. I've made an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow, and I'm keeping an eye on my temperature...anything else I can do? I've asked DH to pick up a cabbage from the supermarket lol!
