Hi all
Well the thrush is cleared more or less. My mastitis hasn't resolved yet and there is a huge lump in my breast that's not resolving. So the midwife sent me to the maternity hospital on Sunday as she thinks it's an abscess. I waited 5 hours to be told I needed referred to the breast clinic in another hospital. They rang me today and can't see me until next Thursday. I'm on my AB until tomorrow and she said if I get unwell before then to get another AB from the GP which isn't really helpful. I'd prefer to not get sick again.
My supply has taken a hit with all the stress and meds etc so I'm spending this week building supply again. Just having some days in bed when the girls are at school doing skin to skin. Feeding is on the whole easier. She is still a nightmare to get latched on as she just doesn't open her mouth but once she's on she has a good latch and isn't damaging my nipples. I need to wean the nipple shields at some stage but we'll get there.
The MW thinks I should get another anti biotic and just take it to cover me until next week so am waiting on the GP to ring me back.
So we're getting there but obviously just waiting now to see what the clinic say about this lump and how they'll resolve it. And hope that doesn't affect feeding!
Apparently abscesses are rare so just my luck!
Thanks for checking in xx
