Mastitis I've been hospitalized. Came in yesterday evening around 5pm, I had a heart rate of 157 and a very high fever!…

Oh my goodness, I can't even imagine being away from baby that long! I feel like as a nursing mother baby should just be admitted along with you, that's so hard!

Did you have to completely stop breastfeeding too? You've had it so rough mama!

Thank you I was struggling, it's so hard to be away from baby when you've never been away for a more than a work day.

So glad you got to see her. That has to be so hard.

So he brought dd to see me for a few hours today. And agreed that he will bring her tomorrow. I get to stay another night here at my favorite place! Lol being poked and on 4 antibiotics/meds

Oh mama I'm sorry! I think it should be something moms get once and that's it, like we need to build an immunity to it LOL. How long did it take you to get into the doctor each time?

I've had it twice this time around and it's the worst No flu or cold can even compare the first time I got it I thought I was dying and I take pain very well

Totally agree. I'd never keep her away from him.

Sorry to hear u are going through all that. Glad you got into get looked at. Hopefully things will get better quickly. And also that's really s*** ty of the baby's father!

I'd so be ok with that!

So not right. I want to punch him in the face for you. WTH?

No its not. Once I get all in place I'll fill you in on the ENTIRE situation. Lifetime movie worthy. I'm sure I'll write about it after I've completed the process.

Oh wow that's horrible I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine. That's not right ?

I've had to go through this alone too. My SO soon to be ex, won't bring my baby to see me. This is the longest I've been without her.

Oh I am too!

Wow crazy. Glad you are in good hands.

Thank you! I am glad aswell. My nurse actually had a heart to heart and was completely honest with me. I was at the point the infection could have spread into my blood stream! That's why the doctors had my vitals checked hourly for the first 24 hours. (That point can be fatal) I'm soooo soooo glad that I didn't wait to come. I could have gone to sleep at home and never woke up! ???? they were very concerned about it going down that route. I am thankful of their due diligence. Pretty scary to find that out. I have to spend another night in the hospital too.

Yikes. I hope you feel better. I had it with my first and it was no good! I'm glad all the meds are safe. Good luck!

Everything is totally fine per doctor. They understood my worries, I trust my doctor. She's amazing and I've been in her hands for 7 years. And the pain is so bad idk what would help as much

? well the important thing is you got it taken care of. And now you know.

Side note you don't have to take any medication that you don't want to. And you can definitely ask the nurse to switch pain meds. They will ask the dr.

I'll talk to my doctor when she gets in about the meds, I don't think the nurses call the shots on medication. Thank goodness I'll see my normal doctor today. And if i had just said I was 'sick' I guess if I added 'flu like symptoms ' or even saying I thought I had the flu would have helped.

Oh no. I saw your post in feeding. But I didn't see anything about a fever/flu! I would have said you need to see the doctor. A clogged duct is a precursor to mastitis. So if you can't relieve it at home it is important to get in so that it doesn't turn into an infection. Good luck! You will feel better pretty fast :)

The antibiotics should be fine. But the oxy I'm thinking they may say no. I would just lay off the oxy and try something like norcos or ibuprofen.

I'm taking oxy for pain and the antibiotics are very strong. ?

I am pumping. If my milk is safe, my SO will bring baby here for a little bit so I can nurse. She's at home with daddy

Oh no! So sorry! I hope you recover soon. Are you able to breastfeed in there?
