Mastitis in pregnancy - no expression
Hiiii ladies so I have all the classic mastitis signs and symptoms, minus a fever. Went to my OB today and saw a midwife. (I genuinely love and trust all of the providers) but now I’m on antibiotics for mastitis - 4 pills a day for 7 days 🫠🥹 My question is:
Has anyone else ever gotten mastitis during pregnancy when they’ve literally never breastfed??? Didn’t expect this at all.
27 weeks on Friday.

@Amy right - apparently uncommon but still possible. Sigh
Possible. Your milk starts to develop during 2nd trimester but usually most women don’t notice because your body is able to reabsorb the milk. Maybe there was an over abundance of milk and your body wasn’t able reabsorb it fast enough?? So sorry to hear this happening to you. My mom said wrapping a warm cloth around your breast and massaging it may help provide you some comfort.
@Alexis I wonder!! Thank you so much 🤍
One side is super hot all the time and painful it comes in waves is that normal I’m currently 26 weeks
