<<<I have seen this also and would love to have an answer. I have even
had

a couple of women (over many years) who developed mastitis antenatally

who were in with issues related to pregnancy  Gwen >>>>

 

<<<<Hi, I work at a hospital and talked to a mom who is 28 weeks
pregnant and

on bed rest. Her chief complaint is that her breasts are filling with

several knots, and increased colostrum leakage. Her physician is giving

her weekly injections of progesterone to inhibit premature delivery.

 

I am trying to understand how this hormonal influence would cause her

milk to come in so early. Thanks,  Brenda Phipps, BS, IBCLC>>>>>

 

I also developed sudden onset mastitis during my 4th pregnancy.  No
breast injury or stimulation; just woke up one morning with a sore red
hard spot on my breast w/ fever and flu-like symptoms.  Would love to
know why.  I did not have any unusual breast filling or knots or any
colostrums leakage.  The only remarkable thing is that it was my 4th
pregnancy and I had a hx of mastitis with every one of my nursing
experiences prior.
