Hello Lactnetters,
My brief intro:  I am currently working as the lactation specialist in a
local hospital and preparing to sit for exam (hopefully) next year.  I have
been lurking for quite some time now.  I have a question that draws me from
the shadows... Mom of a 4 mos old, bad case of PID, abd surgery including
apendectomy.  On 4 abx Zithromax, Clindamycin, Ampicillin and Gentamycin.
Her MD adv to pump & dump.  When I arrived in her room, engorgement was
very evident.  As we began to pump to relieve her engorgement mom indicated
that she felt abd cramping??!! Would the oxytocin be causing this 4 months
after delivery in a case such as this?  Would pumping be contraindicated?
I searched the archives without success.  Your input is appreciated.

Sincerely,
Kathy Amell, LVN, TBE
