Maybe it's all in my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-keeps-piling-on-thrush#post-1017901 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 06:05:41 +0000 hilsy85 1017901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are your nips red/pink and shiny or flaky? Those are other signs of thrush...I second seeing your ob! Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-keeps-piling-on-thrush#post-1017897 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 05:58:48 +0000 Ra 1017897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I thought I had thrush or a staph infection in my nipples for the longest time. In between feedings, I would get sharp pains in my boob and a burning sensation that would start in my boob and radiate towards my nipples.</p> <p>Turns out, it is just my letdown. It took me a really, really long time to figure it out. I noticed that it happens when my boobs are full, I hear B crying, or I even think about feeding him. Oddly, when my letdown happens WHEN I am feeding, it is an itching sensation. I don't know why they are different.</p> <p>Do you think there is any chance yours could be a painful or itchy letdown, too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-keeps-piling-on-thrush#post-1017867 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 04:58:06 +0000 .twist. 1017867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: thanks so much! I will try the vinegar. I'm not sure if its all in my head. He doesn't have any oral signs that I can see. And I can't tell if I have a yeast infection or if my episiotomy is just that irritated that its making me that uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-keeps-piling-on-thrush#post-1017863 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 04:53:00 +0000 Kemma 1017863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you're not having a good time of it at the moment!</p> <p>My wee girl and I had thrush for about three months when she was just new (me nipple, her oral) and it definitely sucked! LO had white patches in her mouth and I had burning in my nipples. If your LO has oral thrush that could be making her gas worst as latching / nursing could be uncomfortable for her.</p> <p>I would definitely make an appt to see your OB (particularly if your episiotomy is troubling you) but in the meantime you could try bathing your nipples in a solution of water and vinegar (<a href="http://www.llli.org/faq/thrush.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.llli.org/faq/thrush.html</a>) and make sure you get plenty of air and sun on them.</p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/just-keeps-piling-on-thrush#post-1017859 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 04:44:35 +0000 .twist. 1017859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know where to put this because it touches on postpartum, nursing and general health. </p> <p>So on top of a cold I think I may have thrush...? </p> <p>I'm not sure though. I have a feeling I have a yeast infection. But also my nipple have been a little itchy, and I've gotten sharp pains in my breasts randomly between feedings. L is super fussy and gassy. I can't tell if some of his fussiness is from this or the heat. </p> <p>I'm in pain as well. Where my episiotomy scar starts, is red, hard and sensitive to the touch. So maybe it's infected?</p> <p>Does does that sound like thrush? Should I be going to a walk in tomorrow or try and get in with my ob? </p> <p>I don't know what to do or what issue to deal with. I'm so frustrated and it doesn't he,p that I can't stop bouncing L because he screams bloody murder at me. :( </p>
