Post Partum Breasts
Hi ladies,
So I am 7 months post partum and I stopped pumping around 7 weeks. Lately, my breasts and nipples feel like they burn every so often and sometimes at night after I exercise and shower, a little bit of liquid (possibly breast milk?) leaks out. I'm talking like a drop or two and it's clear.
I don't feel any breast lumps and no history in my family of breast cancer. I have noticed I have like blackheads (ewww I know) around my breast (hot climate and I run/walk daily but yeah I shower lol) all over them.
Maybe my sports bra isn't supportive enough in the front and too tight in the band? I don't know. This is my first baby so post partum stuff is all new.
The burning isn't painful and it isn't constant and I don't notice it in a bra. It's the same on both sides.
Thoughts? Anyone else have odd breast symptoms?
I hesitate to go to the MD, because of Covid19. I know that the replies I will get aren't medical advice, I'm just trying to figure out if this is normal or not.
Thanks!
