I had two epi's with Arna, the cute anethestiast (sp?) was putting it in while I was having a contraction and it went too far... No-one even told me about it UNTIL I complained for 4 days of a major headache...

Anyway if I had the epi put in when I WASNT having a contraction I think I would have it again... but not now!!

Good luck! If you hadn't already said you were going to the doc I would be giving you a big lecture about it right about now. Don't mess with mastitis!

I woke up feeling a bit yucky and with a red lump in one breast, by lunchtime I had a fever of 39.9 and by 3pm I was hallucinating. And that's despite my midwife faxing a prescription thru and getting antibiotics straight away.

Ended up with 9 days in hospital (yes I know you all know this story, I am a broken record lol ). I don't know if I could have avoided it in any way, but I know for sure that next time I will be going to my doc/midwife the very second I even IMAGINE something is not right!

Good luck at the docs Liz. I hope it's not mastitis!]]> Wed, 15 Feb 2006 10:27:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1541&PID=28189&title=mastitis#28189 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1541&PID=28188&title=mastitis#28188 Author: lizzle

Hot shower, massage lump towards the nipple whenever you feed.. feed on that side first for each feeding for one min (then switch to other breast if time to feed on that side). Take 1000mg tablet of vitamin c each day.
A wheat pack or hot water bottle on the lump helps too.. any heat.. I slept with one when I had mastitis.

I had it 4 times, it was awful. It developed into the full blown flu like symptoms the first 2 times as well :( but the 3rd and 4th i knew what to do and got rid of the lump in a day or two.. if it gets really bad go and get antibiotics to get rid of it, don't risk it getting any worse like I did.

Poor you, I hope it goes away soon. Mastitis sucks!]]> Tue, 14 Feb 2006 23:47:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1541&PID=28156&title=mastitis#28156 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1541&PID=28150&title=mastitis#28150 Author: nuttymama

I had a mild dose of Mastitis and all I had to do was feed baby heaps and I massaged the lump and expressed heaps and it eventually went away.
