Daphne was really good at breastfeeding. She seemed to be perfect at it. I just couldn’t figure out why it hurt so badly. I mean it was a deep stabbing pain deep in my
breast. It seemed to travel under my arm
pit to my back. There were a few times
when it wouldn’t hurt at all. It was
perfect! Just a slight tugging and she would get so much milk. J She was adorable. But the pain and such got worse and
worse.
My blood pressure started to rise. I was having pains in my arms and losing
feeling to my fingers (like my cubital tunnel syndrome). My ankles were super swollen up to the size
of softballs. I was getting shortness of
breath and dizzy. Tyler later told me
that he had checked me in the night to make sure I was breathing still. My nerves were over reacting all over my body causing my
whole body to shake in pain when she would nurse. I knew
the reason wasn’t her; I just couldn't figure it out until I started losing
feeling in my hands. That was a symptom from my nerve problem before.
So
I started pumping and after a day my body was feeling a bit normal again. I
immediately started producing a lot of milk. So pumping is going to be my way
and freezing the milk she doesn’t need right now. This is just the beginning.
