Relief in the shower...

You know what its like, so hard it hurts. Your partner in crime unable or unwilling to give you relief. You jump in the shower, as hot as you can handle to try & rub it out.

Now get your mind out if the gutter! I'm talking about a blocked duct. Lactating women holla!! For the last 2 days I've had that horrible pain of a blocked duct. It freaking burns. It hurts to move my arm. It hurts to touch. I can get the blockage out in a hot hot shower & it keeps freaking coming back when I get too full. And of course its in my 'golden boob' that happily gives up 150ml every 2-3hrs. Yes, I make THAT much milk. In one boob. As I sit here now I feel the burn. I'm looking forward to the relief I will get from expressing. I hate expressing but can't deny the relief.

I am more intimate with my pump than my husband these days. Sigh.
