I think if I had they would have just called in a prescription. This was the after hours nurse though, not my regular doc (who isn't in today) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1181631 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:34:01 +0000 Charm54 1181631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: I know - I had to pump every 2 hours and it was awful... It was the last thing I felt like doing with my fever and chills! Hope you feel better soon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1181623 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:30:58 +0000 mediagirl 1181623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: it's true what char54 said - 24 hours and as much rest/pumping as possible. It's not easy with a toddler and a NICU baby. :( I'm sorry!! I hope you are feeling better asap. Also, I'm SUPER surprised they won't just call a prescription in for you now!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1181514 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:09:42 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1181514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: All the websites say you need to rest, but also be sure to breastfeed/pump around the clock.. those are not complimentary instructions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1181398 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 09:40:13 +0000 Charm54 1181398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mastitis is the worst :( I felt AWFUL with mine, but the good news is as soon as I started taking the antibiotics and got a good night sleep I felt much much better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1181387 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 09:38:08 +0000 Alivoo01 1181387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!!!!

FWIW I felt a million times better about 24 hours after starting meds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1181055 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:18:56 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1181055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: well that's encouraging, hopefully I'll feel better after I get meds this afternoon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1180640 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 22:12:12 +0000 lemondrop 1180640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, misery! I'm so sorry, hope you feel better soon! For me it was about 24 hours of feeling like complete and utter crap, but after that it got better with massage and compresses.</p> <p>I couldn't agree more- you are definitely one tough mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pretty-sure-i-have-mastitis#post-1180561 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 21:08:36 +0000 MamaMoose 1180561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boo.

I've felt like crap all day, achy, and I just noticed my right boob is all red all over, so Dr Google says mastitis. I know I had some clogged ducts since I've been pumping out some clunky/stringy things for a few days, and I also scratched off a milk blister which then bled, so I probably got infected that way. I made an appt to go in and get checked out tomorrow, in between visiting the NICU and taking my older son for his check up.</p> <p>Don't really need anything just wanted to vent! </p>
