My boob is going to rip open

I guess I have a clogged duct. I had to wake up dd to nurse because it hurt do bad and now I'm up pumping. It's not going away! I'm massaging it, but it feels so deep. Ugh I feel like a wuss but this really hurts. This coming from the chick who didnt have an epidural.

And PS to anyone who cares, I haven't been on the last couple days because I've been super busy in the evening and trying to not get on during work hours. Now something is wrong with my internet laptop and I'm bumping mobile. So I am not the ae that is butthurt about the "cliques"!! I think it's hilarious, all the gif posts and stuff, so clique on my ladies :

Re: My boob is going to rip open

  • Oh no!  I feel for you, I've had many clogged ducts and they hurt like a mofo.  I didn't have an epidural either and I'm pretty sure I have compared both my appendicitis and clogged ducts to DH as being events more painful than childbirth.. ok maybe exaggerating in a dramatic moment, but you know what I mean.  Have you tried nursing in cow position, ie. on all fours?!  I've heard this is a sure fire way to work it out.  GL!

  • When I just read the post title, I though, "Yay, she STTN!" Sorry, I hope it clears up fast!

  • I've had a couple of really bad ones as well. One of the articles I read suggested taking Advil and that has worked for me! Other than that, seriously massaging the heck out of it while pumping. Hope it clears soon!

    Definitely nurse on all fours and aim the chin towards the clog. I had a clogged duct last week and spent all day trying to massage and pump it out without luck. I finally laid DS on the floor to feed and it was gone within one feeding. As a bonus DS thought it was really funny to eat that way.
