Morning everyone!

I;m quite busy today (surprise surprise!) Trying to get my house all cleaned up so I can get outta here and go to the shops to get my SS presents and I got a few other errands to get to too and I told dad I would pop in to see if the house needs a clean - mum has been away in sydney visiting my sis this week and dad's been busy with work so being the good daughther I am, I will clean the house. So its a busy day and its going to be a hot day!

Anyway, there was a reason I popped on this morning.. I just knocked my right boob and I felt a really hard lump that is quite sore to touch! This morning Avaleigh fed on my left side and then I expressed 15 mins from my right side and got 100mls, which is 10mls more than normal. Not a lot I know LOL! Anyways, its the first I have had this kind of lump after expressing. Do you think I just didnt get all my milk out or do you think it could be a blocked duct?? I am going to make sure I rub it at the next feed to see if it comes down...

Veronica - about a week or so ago i had the same problem - a hard sore lump. I went to dr and he refered me for an ultrasound saying it may have been a 'lactaction cyst' - dont know if this is the same as blocked duct - and would maybe have to get it drained with a needle if it was filled with fluid. It actually went away over the weekend by itself so he cancelled the app and will just keep an eye on it. If it doesnt go away in the next day or so, maybe you should book into see dr (if you have time with everything else you are doing!! Do you want to come clean my house please?).

Becc - thanks for your kind words. I am looking forward to the wedding but why oh why did they have to get married up in Mornington and not just at home?? . Good luck with going into work. My nephew has been in childcare since about 4months old and he is such a happy confident kid who makes friends really easily. My sister cried when she left him there on the first day and she only works in the next room.
