I was so pumped to get a massage yesterday, but lying on my stomach totally put too much pressure on my boobs and now I've got mastitis again, six weeks after having it the first time. Feeling crappy and waiting for the Dr to call the Rx in.
Anyone else had it more than once?

Aw oh no! 
Sorry to hear this...I've only had it once but that was enough! Hope you feel better soon.

Aw it stinks that your nice massage turned into nasty mastitis! I had it 4x with DD and 2x with DS. Drink lots of water, keep nursing/pumping and try and get as much rest as possible! If you get as much rest as you can, you may even turn the corner without the meds.

I'm sorry that's rough.
How many months pp are you? I had it twice, the first time I felt so terrible. I got it again a month later but caught it quickly and I was able to massage/heat it enough to have it go away by itself.

@T-Mom: @HLK208: I'm two months PP. I felt fine this morning (other than a sore boob), but was in sorry shape by lunch time. I was afraid I'd get worse during the night and not be able to do anything, so I've started taking antibiotics. I hope I don't get it four times!! That's awful!

@Mrs. Tricycle: feel better soon! You won't get it four times, I dont know what happened with me, that was definitely excessive..
