Sore breasts
I'm 15 weeks pg, and it honestly feels like my breasts are on fire. They are
so hot, so sore, so *heavy*, and anything - even air - irritates them. The idea of DH touching me or of breast feeding in 5 months time is enough to make me scream. They've been sore for over a month now, and I kept expecting it to stop! I suppose I am lucky, I've never really suffered breast pain before - not through puberty, or pregnancy, or pmt. Now, though, it's like all that pain came up and bit me all at once. It may be helpful to note that I went through a chemical menopause a few years ago (took zoladex for endometriosis) which made my breasts deflate, and now it seems like all the breast tissue is having to... "re-grow" isn't the right term, but is close enough. Can anyone suggest anything to relieve the pain? I have an appt. to get my bras checked, and am trying cabbage leaves. Anything else I should be trying? And, while I have your attention ;-) I fed my dd, who is nine now, for almost 3 years (and tandem fed my younger at the same time, but she gave up before dd1), but the beginning I remember was excruciating. Since I haven't fed for such a long time - 6 years - will feeding be like this baby is my first... will it hurt as much... or will my body "remember" and not find it as painful in the beginning? Any voices of experience gratefully received :-) Oh! I'm a newbie poster :-) It's very nice to meet you all, I've been lurking/reading for about 10 weeks and you all seem lovely :-) Donna (UK) |
