30weeks pregnant.. Has anyone ever had Mastitis?

Q: What is it?Mastitis is a breast infection that can leave you feeling as if you’ve come down with the flu. You may notice areas of redness, hardness, soreness, or heat in your breast, and swelling of the affected milk duct. Common, and more serious, signs of the infection include chills, a fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and fatigue.If you find yourself with a breast infection, you’re not alone: About one in 20 nursing moms get one, and some non-nursing mothers do, too. And although you can get mastitis more than once, it’s very unlikely that you’ll get it in both breasts at the same time.What causes it?The problem is caused by invading germs. Typically, those germs pass from your baby’s mouth, nose, and throat into a milk duct through cracks or fissures in the nipples. (Non-nursing moms may get mastitis when their breasts become engorged.) Other contributors include not completely emptying breasts of milk and lowered resistance to illness. Most new mothers are tired, stressed, and probably not eating all that well — factors that can affect nursers and non-nursers alike. First-time moms who haven’t mastered a good latch-on technique and are suffering from cracked nipples are more likely to contract mastitis, although experienced nursing mothers aren’t immune.Mastitis can occur at any time while you’re breastfeeding, but it’s most common between the tenth and 28th days after you have your baby.How can I treat it?See your caregiver if your symptoms don’t improve within 12 to 24 hours of applying moist heat to your breasts, feeding your baby more frequently, and taking ibuprofen to ease the pain. She’ll prescribe antibiotics, bedrest, pain relievers, and hot compresses. When the antibiotics kick in during the next 48 hours, you’ll start feeling better.Another way to ease the pain: Nurse frequently to keep the affected breast empty, which may help clear up the infection faster.How long will it last?If the infection is diagnosed early, it’s easy and quick to treat, and you won’t need to stop nursing from the affected breast. Be sure to take all of the prescribed antibiotics to keep the infection from returning a few days or weeks later. It won’t be long before you feel 100 percent better. If your breast remains tender and you still have a fever, call your healthcare provider without delay.Ignoring mastitis can cause complications. If untreated, it can lead to breast abscesses, which require antibiotics, and surgery (usually performed while the patient is under general anesthesia) to drain the abscess. The best way to avoid mastitis is to get plenty of rest and eat a healthy, balanced diet while you’re nursing. The more run down you are, the more susceptible to infection you become.im not breast feeding yet I’m only pregnant with my first and i have this

A: i had this with my first child and it hurt so bad. at the time i didnt know what it was i was very young. (almost 9 years ago)i had flu like symptoms for 4 days and then finally got over it myself. i wrapped my breast in ace bandage( i didnt breastfeed). for 4 days i couldnt take care of my baby and it was so horrible! but i did not take any antibiotics just let my body do it on its own. with my second i didnt have it and i felt so great after birth and i hope i dont get it this time because i am planning on breastfeeding.
