Hi Girls***and Question*** Posted: 07-25-04 16:01pm
Hey girls! I miss you! I feel like I
havent been able to talk much at all~
garret sure keeps me busy!!! How have
all of you been ?? Any updates on
anyone? And what about you shauna?
Any signs yet? It will be any day now!
Anyways just want to say hi to everyone
and that im thinkin of u even tho im too
busy to get on here too much!
K and my question~~ as some of u know, I
tried breastfeeding the first 5 days, now
I am doing bottle feeding.. Anyhow, one
of my boobs is starting to feel normal and
it doesnt hurt or feel full anymore, they
both have definitly gotten smaller again..
But the other one, the nipple kills
still and when I feel it, its all hard
underneath it and right around the nipple
and u can tell there is a bump and its
also all red around it. Could this be
what they call a clogged milk-duct? It
hurts so much I cant even touch it and
putting my bra on etc hurts too. What
do ya think? I wonder if theres anything
I can do for it. Thanks!! By the way
I took some pics of me and garret so you
can see him and also see my
after-pregnancy-self. I will try and
post them tonite if I have time which I
should once my parents get home*
I don't know about the nipple thing.
Sorry hun.
As for me, things are alright. I miss ya,
but I know you are busy being mommy!
Love ya,
chanda

Hmmm, whens the next time u see ur doc??
Id just call someone and ask them... It
could be a clogged milk duct or it could
be really raw. Try that cream that also
makes cocoa butter, its made to help
soothe nipples from breastfeeding.. I
cant remember what its called tho
As for me, I lost my mucus plug 2 days
ago, been gettin contractions on and off
and sometimes think im in labour... But
it ends up being not! Lol! If u read my
other post, I kinda dont wanan labour
right now cuz the person who gives the
epidural is out of town.. Ahh lol! But I
see my doc on tues and ill talk to her
about that
hope everythings good with u and garrett!
Cant wait to see pics soon! Have u been
able to go out with him yet? Like, to the
store or anything? Is he on a feeding
schedule/sleeping schedule now? Take care
hun!!!! We miss u!

Thanks alot girls!!! I will ask the doc
about the boob thing, its just that under
the nipple its hard and a big bump thing
so I think its a clogged milk duct or
somethin so I want to see if theres
something I can do because it kills!
Anyhow,
shauna if u lost ur mucus plug it should
be very soon!! I hope u can wait tho so u
can get that epidural! They told me I
coudnt get one at first because I had a
high white blood cell count but thankfully
my doc argued.. It was a life-savor!!!
Its unbelievable how much of a difference
it makes so hopefully u'll get one! Got
anymore belly pics? Anyhow cant wait till
u have ur little one too! Such a
handful.. More so then I thought.. But
sooooo worth it I will post pics
tonite of us*

Ohh I cant wait to see more pics! I
havent taken any more belly pics recently
(due to my ever growing stretchmarks ahh
lol!) has ur stomach gone back to normal?
Have u lost all the weight?
I hope I pop soon but I want to find out
about that epidural thing! Lol! Take
care and cant wait to see some pics! I
was reading about a clogged milk duct too
the other day but I cant remember what it
said. Something about warm water I think
to soothe it (like one of those hot water
pad thingys.. Cant remember what they're
called haha) take care!

There is a thing called lactational breast
abscess (lactional mastitis) and that
sounds exactly like what you have...Talk
to me later and I can give you more stuff
about it! Sorry you are having to deal
with all this!
