Hi All!
I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with No 2 and for the last day or so have been experiencing alot of pain in my left breast. It is only in my left breast which aches and stings and is very tender to touch and I keep getting shooting pains through it. I didn't have anything like this with my first pregnancy and am just wondering if it is possible to get mastitis at this point in a pregnancy?? I didn't think women got mastitis until after the baby was born? I wasn't able to breast-feed my little boy as I never had any milk for him, so these symptoms are all a little alien to me!
Obviously, if it persists I will get my doctor to take a look, but any input/advice you have would be greatly appreciated!
