#constant pumping

Damn

I’m battling mastitis again. 101 fever even after taking Tylenol and Advil, plus chills, exhaustion, headache.

Can’t ask anyone to come watch kiddo so I can lay down to rest and ice my boob. She is cranky after a bad night of sleep so constantly wants to be held meaning I can’t pump properly and it just hurts more.

Stupid pandemic

Last night I learned about ‘’mommy thumb” and omg I didn’t realize it was a thing.

Both hands have been sore which wasn’t surprising but my left has been in pain, felt like I twisted my thumb and first finger, I kept thinking I must’ve slept wrong or lifted a box weird.

I read up on it and there’s a quick test you can do about making a fist and bending it. I made the fist and the pain immediately got worse. Didn’t even need to bend it lol

Obviously picking up kiddo by the armpits aggravates it but I’m pretty sure it all had to do with pumping 30-45 mins 5-6 times a day and having to hand expires while double pumping. I’m still barely making enough so guess I will be visiting my family dr for domperidone and a referral note for physio and a hand brace.
