Mastitis

I think i possibly have mastitis. Hurts to the touch, hurts to feed baby off that side. I first thought i was engorged so i used my haka & got only 2 oz out of it and had baby feed off that side with a little relief. This morning i took my temperature because i just felt like something wasn’t right my body was sore and i was just really tired at it came out as 99.9 My question is should i go to the emergency room or call the nurse line & possibly make an appointment (my OB is usually booked up so im not for sure when ill be able to go in) I’m in so much pain, it hurts to hold him, stand him up & when anyone/anything touches it

Yep sounds like mastitis. I had it a few weeks ago. Hurt to even walk or pick my baby up. I wouldn’t wait too long and get medical treatment asap.

@Sadie fck so ER it is? 🙃

Mine started about midday and by the following morning I went to hospital. The pain was just so bad and it wasn’t getting better. I wasn’t allowed home till they did bloods etc as was told the infection can spread quickly! It’s your choice!! maybe call and try get appointment first and see what they say. If not I would get yourself to ER 👍🏻
