My bestie gifted me with a gift certificate for an hour massage in honor of my birthday - I've been looking forward to it for a couple weeks. The massage itself was wonderful, but my boobs got really uncomfortable near the end and now this morning the right one is in pain. Clogged duct maybe?
I'd like to get more massages because they're sooo relaxing, but how do I work around these stupid nursing boobs? Any ideas?

Were You lying on your stomach? Maybe ask to do a side lying massage, like they do for prenatal massages.

the exact same thing happened to me too after a massage! do you feel a lump inside your breast? i did a warm (hot as you can stand it) compress right before nursing and while nursing, i massaged it as firmly towards the nipple as you can. then keep doing it all day, and in the shower too. it helped get rid of it and the next day it was just bit sore.
i was trying to think of solutions to getting around the issue and i was thinking they could do pillows like they did during my prenatal massage. instead of around my belly, they could do around my boobs!

There are some places where they have special cut outs for your boobs so you can still lie on your stomach. I really dislike side lying massages and feel like they are so ineffective but you definitely don't want to be lying on your boobs!

@JessLC: I can't feel a bump - just a painful area. Humm.... So annoying!

@Mrs. Tricycle: Maybe let them know that you can only lay on your front for so long? Or have the do the back massage part first so that you are on your front when fuller?
I had a massage on Friday and the last 15 minutes on my front were pretty uncomfortable because of how full I felt.

And I'm pretty sure I've got mastitis for a second time. Crap. Waiting for OB to call me back.
