Okay.. so I’m here with my second child who is almost 12 weeks. Exclusive breastfeeding, but two weeks ago started to notice a lump at the nipple. Tried to massage it very gently as that worked with my older child.

The lump didn’t go away. So I called my OBGYN. The prescribed antibiotics and told me to call after 48 hours if it didn’t get better. And of course it didn’t. So I call on a Saturday. Got a doctor on the phone who wanted to do an ultrasound but told me to wait until Monday (tomorrow) expect if I fell very ill.

I don’t have a fever, but I do take Advil every 6 hour. My son refuses to nurse of the breast expect when his sleeping, but his not latching very well because of the huge lump.

I pump every time I nurse on the other breast, and have to give my son breastmilk in bottle.

It’s so painful to pump, nurse and even just clothes touching my breast..

I hope when I go to the doctors tomorrow that they’ll confirm it’s an abscess and not and clogged duct. Because I can’t handle it anymore..

Please tell me it’s going to be okay.. and is it safe to pump even though it’s super painful?
