Mastitis at 15wks?

[sonsangel]

I just updated my journal so the whole story is in there.
Not sure how to link it in here with the new look forum

I woke up with mastitis this morning. I called the ER midwives to confirm what it is and I need to see my Dr tomorrow. I feel a bit better now after taking some panadine.
How can this happen? I haven't had my baby yet! I should be greatful actually it would be even more painful if I had to breastfeed now.
Has anyone else had it while pregnant?

Sorry Sonia, I havent had it at all while preg or breastfeeding. Hope you get some relief soon and someone can relate their story to yours.

Love

Even though you haven't had your baby yet, you are still producing colostrum, so maybe it just got a bit blocked up. I don't think it will interfere with your breasfeeding when Bub does come though. Try having a hot shower (but not too hot) or even just putting a hot face washer on it to try to relieve it too.
