Hello All,
I have the mothers permission to ask for advice about her particular
situation. This mother is pregnant with her second baby and the repeat C/S is planed
for Feb. She is an RN and was a client of mine with her first baby. Her
original consultation was because of decreased milk supply and very painful
nipples. We determined and she was treated for yeast (with the usual diet changes,
garlic capsules and long tern Difluican) and Raynauds (treated with
Nifedipine). In addition, she was able to increase her milk supply within a short
time by taking Fenugreek and double electric breast pumping. Moreover, one the
HORRIFIC pain was diminished she put her baby back to breast with no
difficulty. She breastfed him happily for a year. I will now include her description
of her current situation and hopefully you can offer us some guidance about
her twofold conditions (current yeast and some symptoms of Raynauds of her
nipples) and her concern re: antibiotics post C/S.
Hello Nancy,
I was hoping you could give me some preparatory advice for baby #2. I am due
in 2-3 weeks and have all ready experienced some symptoms of Raynaud's.
I have been on a double course of antibiotics and have already been cultured
with "Tons" of yeast. I have been on Terazol for 7 days but found out
yesterday that I cultured positive for Strep and I will need more antibiotics
before I have my C/S. We are scheduled for 2/25 unless the baby decided to come
sooner. I am also on Flovent from chronic bronchitis and I know that can cause
thrush for me. I am out on maternity leave since I haven't been able to shake
this upper respiratory infection (since November). I wonder if I should
start loading up on garlic Acidophilus, etc. I this is a lot to deal with and I
will be happy to schedule an appointment with you to sort this all our. Please
let me know how to set up and appointment with you so I can joyfully breast
feed my second baby. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
I will share your thoughts and recommendations with this mother if you give
me permission to do so.
Thank you,
Nancy
