Anybody else get it?! How do I get rid of it?
-
When do you get it? After or during a feed? At the beginning, end or letdown?
-
Always used to get this, only on one side! I think it always did it until I stopped feeding! I'd feel it right down to my toes!!
-
Is it during letdown? I always get it pretty much the whole time I'm BFing. It does get less intense, though

Same here, not sure if it is less intense or I just got used to it yk?
-
I had that - more with the earlier babies than the last one. I would be walking round the supermarket, hear a baby cry, and get that electric shock (and hope I was wearing breast pads!) I just exhaled, gritted my teeth and waited the ten seconds or so for it to pass! It did lessen as time went on.
-
ooohh I had it too. Esp after I'd had oversupply. It went on for a few months then disappeared.
-
Had it every single letdown here - enough to make me wince sometimes!
-
hmm....i don't think it's a letdown thing! it was after her DF...and she had taken a good feed....it was so weird! i was lying in bed and couldnt lie on that side....i was all jittery!!!! i don't think i've had it much before...or at least not when i've had time to pause and take note!!!!
-
Has it gone now? Any other symptoms that could indicate thrush or changing colour of nipples etc.?
-
no...no other symptoms....and yes...it's gone now...in fact (red face!) i had forgotten all about it until i saw yer replies!xxx
-
ok....it's back....finished feeding her at 7.15pm....got it first about an hour ago.....really weird!!!!
-
Are you still getting it? Maybe mention it to a health professional?
-
you think so? it's definitely not during let-down anyway, that's for sure....i am due to meet our public health nurse for DD2's check up next tuesday... will say it to her....although, tbh....she knows zilch about BFing.....
-
If it is painful or bothering you then yes I would probably mention it next time you see the GP or HV etc.
-
ya...i may aswell...thanks hun!xxx
-
back again....i'm wondering if it might be thrush?did a google and not coming up with anything else.....
if it is thrush, would i have pain the whole time? it only starts 30-60 minutes after feeding....lasts anything up to 30 mins....then disappears again!
-
I think it is possible. Check out this link. http://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/child/thrush-resources/
-
hmmm....i had a read.....ugh....i just *cannot* have something wrong with me *again*.....i just can't. this entire materity leave has been plagued with health issues. ugh. >:(
sorry...am just peeved that something's going on.....the earliest i could get to my doctor is friday, but tbh i'm tempted to wait it out & see what the PHN says on tuesday....
i'll see how tomorrow goes....pah >:(

Hugs
-
Girls.... I'm doubled over here with the pain. ...it's just ridiculous.what is this? I can't rest with the pain of it and I soooooo need my sleep after a hectic day today.
-
Have you seen your doctor? Could it be thrush?
-
Yes....I said it last time....she kind of laughed at me and said I was really going through the wars. Humph.
I did a lot. Of googling in the few hours I was awake with it last night and think it may be nipple vasospasms.
-
Oh no, doubled over in pain is not the same a tingling sensation. Hope you're feeling better. Did your GP try to test at all? Or was she just not very helpful?!
I have found these folks very helpful in the past with some very specific advice - you could email them and see what they say.

Or can you go back to the GP and say that is what you think you have?
-
Thanks...will have a look.
Yes, I guess I could go back to her and point her in that direction but I plan to drop another feed on Monday so I'm. Hoping to just feed from the right and pump.from the left....
-
Had those vasospasms for about a month..not nice :-X
Gosh, but are getting a bit of a raw deal of things :(
Hope things improve for you.
-
Who you telling!!! I'm actually getting to the point of not telling people IRL what's going in with me, health-wise. I feel like they just think I'm making it all up.
