OUCH!!!!!

Well, yesterday I went to the beach with the hubby and children. We just relaxed in the blazing heat and I stayed on the shore with the baby. The inlaws came over last night so instead of hauling boob out in front of them, I just fed her a 4 ounce bottle. She usually sleeps all night long too, if she's got that in her. The heat was so damn ridiculous in my room last night, I thought I was going to die, I was getting a headache and feeling all shitty. Then, I wake up at 1am. My left boob is as big as my head, totally engorged, hard as a rock, hurting like hell. OUCH! Of course, I say screw this, wake up baby and try and get her to nurse. The pain of her latching on was equivalent to the pain I felt nursing my first child, when I had blistered, cracked, bleeding, sore, chewed off nipples. Oh it was horrible. She ate for about 10 minutes and I got absolutely NO relief. Went out and started to hand pump some milk in a bottle, got about 3 oz. Still hurt like a bitch, so took some advil and went back to bed. Woke again at 3am. Holy hell, pain is getting soooo much worse now, again I woke up the baby and prayed so hard she'd eat a ton. Nope, nursed for like 10 minutes, back to sleep. So of course I'm laying there dying, complaining to hubby, he doesn't really care, cause he's gotta go to work in the am. I suck it up and somehow manage to sleep in this sweltering hot ass house.

5am, up again. This time boob is bigger than I ever seen it. Even worse than when my milk first came in 3 months ago. This time I'm feeling them, one is WAY hotter and check my temp, 40C. Wow, i doubt the house is that friggen hot. And I feel as though I've been hit like a dump truck! I've pretty much figured it's probably mastitis, although I'm not a Dr. but I dont' know what other symptoms they'd look for, since I feel like death is knocking on my door. So far I've been nursing her on that side, and I get no damn relief. Guess I should make an appointment to see my Dr.

:*( I can now understand what other new momma's were going through when they had experienced this. It sucks ass.
