oscaroscar, do you have any flu-ey type symptoms? It sounds like you have mastitis. Mastitis is not only something that occurs in bfing mothers, so I think you would be best off getting it checked out by your GP and having it resolved.

I also would get this checked out - and sooner rather than later. I would say it could be a blocked duct, or even mastitis. Let us know how you go.

Can you get mastitis from colostrum, or only from actual breastmilk? I do feel a bit fluey, but we are coming into the cooler months and I am 8 months pregnant LOL.

You can get mastitis when you are pg, although it's not common it can certainly happen. I think it would be best to see a doctor today if you can (why do these things always happen on weekends and holidays?). If it is mastitis you will need abs.

Thanks Manta Ray. I'm a bit hesitant to see my normal GP because he seems unknowledgeable about pregnancy related issues. Do you think a midwife would be better? I can call them and get an appointment as soon as I can. I do think its weird that the cyst is larger (and hot!) now that my colostrum is leaking.

Hot is definitely a sign of mastitis hun, so please don't delay. A mw should be ok except may not be able to prescribe abs - I'm not sure about that. I had mastitis in hossy with DS1 and the mw told me the red was in the wrong place, but I would think that most mws would know about mastitis. GL hun, I hope you find someone who can help you.
