Mastitis Round 2

in August 2014 Moms
Seriously?!  I didn't even know that I had a plugged duct.  Then I start feeling flu-like last night and wake up this morning to a boob that feels like it's being jammed with needles and has red blotches.  DD nurses regularly and I keep track of the time spent on each side... how did this happen?  My first time with mastitis was only 1 week postpartum, so I get that.  This time makes no sense.

Also I called the on-call doctor and she said she'll just call in a prescription for me.  I feel like I should be seen before I just get on antibiotics.  

Ugh.  End rant.

    I'm sorry, that sounds painful! I would feel weird about just being put in antibiotics too. At least you don't have to drive around as much, I guess..

    When I had mastitis with DD a month ago, it was the same thing. I never had a plugged duct and I wasn't engorged. I just woke up with mastitis. It sucked.

    My very first time with mastitis was when DS was a baby and was 5 months pp. That was weird too.

    Glad you are getting some meds. Hope you feel better soon!

    I just went through my third round, and like you, it just came out of nowhere for no reason at all! Hope you recover quickly!

    I'm sorry that you all had to deal with it too. It sucks! Here's hoping that none of us have to deal with it again.

    This is totally scary. I always thought there were symptoms before its full blown mastitis. So sorry you are dealing with this again.

    On the topic of mastitis.... Does anyone know if it can affect supply? Ever since I recovered from it my supply has gone WAY down. Like I only pump half as much as I used to. I'm beginning to stress out a bit. I haven't changed anything. Wtf is going on!?

    @ColeyJ88‌ , if definitely affects supply and in my experience it's a long road back to normal but you'll get there! Just pump the affected boob every 2 hours. My unaffected boob always took over and made extra so LO was just fine. Hopefully that happens to you. Trust your body to figure it out.
