I didn't even realize it but today I hit 30K subscribers on this channel! Thank you all so much for joining me as I do what I love- make videos for YOU!
Natalie Bennett Congrats on 30k!! 🎉 Mastitis is so painful and once you, have it once, you more than likely, will get it again! =( Frozen or cold cabbage leaves, are really good to use, once the symptoms begin! You put the cabbage in the fridge or freezer, and pull off a leaf, and put it in between of your sore breast and bra! I myself, put the cabbage in the fridge, and would put the cold cabbage in between my bra and sore and swollen breast, and I would also, rub in a downwards motion, from up by my shoulder, down to my areola, and between doing both things, my mastitis went away on its own! I wouldn't recommend, taking antibiotics, every time you have mastitis! Try natural home remedies first and if they don't seem to help within 3 days, then call and or schedule an appt with your doctor. Lastly, and this may sound a little weird to you, but continue doing daily massages on your breasts! Begin by, rubbing in small circles, where you had the most pain from mastitis, then, massage in a downwards motion, from up by your shoulder and down to your areola, and from all sides to your areola, until you have baby girl, and she is nursing. Doing this, has been proven to stop milk ducts, from becoming blocked and infected, especially while you're still pregnant, and not able to nurse or pump! Hope you're feeling better now, your fever has subsided, and you're no longer in pain!
I've had 2 pregnancies and I didn't know that eating skin/hair bit! That was hilarious. Feel better. Love your updates. My baby girl was due April 23 and came April 9. Such a beautiful month for babies!
It's VERY rare in a first time pregnancy because the milk ducts have never functioned in that capacity before. But in subsequent pregnancies the chances of it get a little higher even though it's still rare. Thanks for watching!
Yesss!!! And she's going to start packing on that vernix! You're spot on with your education, I'm a nursing student and I just wrapped up my OB rotations, I love hearing patients who understand what's happening....but I love teaching those who don't. Good info Natalie👍🏻
Tip in terms of Mastitis: A friend of mine had a baby boy in July and was faced with Mastitis quite a bit. She did "Quark-Wickel" - which basically means putting compresses with German Quark on the affected parts. So, if you can get hold of this - it really helps! Get well soon! xoxo
I had mastitis 3x when I was breastfeeding my daughter and it was the most pain I had ever been in. It topped my c-section recovery by far. I am sending you lots of well wishes and prayers for speedy healing. I had no idea this could happen during pregnancy when you're not nursing. I'll definitely be on the lookout when I have our next one. Yikes!
Bless your heart! I had this twice after having my son. It was horrible! I stopped breastfeeding after the second time. Warm compress and expressing the milk in the shower helps.
Natalie I not currently pregnant yet but do appreciate how details you are in your updates as it is good information for women to know. I have done a lot of reading myself to prepare but their is certainly new information that I hadn't learned yet and am glad I am getting chance to do so I am in the know better. Thank you so much for being willing to share and prayers sent for a speedy recovery from this latest flare up and continued safety for you and Baby Girl. Praying she can cook as long as is needed for her to be able to thrive safely outside the womb.
Mastitis is horrible! I breastfed my son exclusively until 6 months and ended up having to put him on formula because I constantly had mastitis, blocked ducts and bleeding nipples, it was horrible! My goal was 6 months and I'm so proud I made it! Feel so sorry for you having to go through it!! So horrible! I hope like you say by next week it's cleared up! Your in my prayers! xx
Oh man! I had no clue that was possible! I have been so blessed to have never experienced mastitis but I had a bad clogged duct last week and it was so so painful. How strange! Essential oils really help me too! I'm not sure about safety during pregnancy but I found germanium, melrose and lavender mixed with water and used as cold compresses and also frankincense to be super helpful. Hope you feel better soon! It's so hard to do all the Mama duties and rest when you feel so terrible! Hang in there!
Wow that is nuts about getting Mastitis! I had never heard of getting it while pregnant either! I had it horribly with my first born right around 2 weeks PP. It is horrible! I'm glad you're on an antibiotic!
First pregnancy.. been dealing with mastitis for about a month and a half. It’s not coming from the nipple it’s around it. & I am 15weeks & 6 days as of today. This sucks!!! I been on three different antibiotics. This second one seems to be clearing it up. 🤞🏽
Mastitis is awful! I've had it while nursing both my girls so far. The thing that helped me beside antibiotics was taking raw garlic. I felt it coming on a second time and took raw garlic a clove at a time and it cut it before it got too bad! I hope you are feeling better!
I hope your condition does get better soon! I'm pregnant with my first & i think we might be due around the same date. Congrats on your baby girl (: your videos are really helpful especially since we are about in the same week each time you post.
So weird!!! I have never heard of mastitis in pregnancy. I have had it twice (only with my 3rd child) and it was TERRIBLE! So sorry you had to go through that.
Lansinoh 3 in 1 breast therapy, saved me a lot of misery. Can be heated, refridgerated, or frozen depending on intended use. Great for mastitis and clogged ducts. Also helps let down when you do start pumping after birth. Lastly, it can help swelling and engorgement. Are you allowed to hand express?
Praying for healing! My husband and I are getting off birth control & putting our future in God's hands. I know as we move forward I'll have lots of questions & I know no one who is pregnant or has young children/babies. Do you ever connect with your subscribers regularly?
THIS IS HOME DAILY VLOGS Oh thank you! It's so nice to feel like I can have someone to ask questions no one else can answer! I just subscribed to you. I do have fears of infertility because my mom was told she would never have kids & struggled for 7 years to become pregnant with me. Also, I'm afraid of miscarriage because my husbands mom & my mom each had one miscarriage before they had us
My wife is about 16 weeks pregnant now and in extreme pain with mastitis. She got antibiotics but it is still painful and getting worse. Any recommendations for being pregnant with mastitis?
I had a blocked duct when I was breastfeeding and I couldn't even lift my arm! I was so painful. I got a cup of hot water and some epsom salt and placed my areola area in and it drew out enough for me to start to get some relief. It's honestly interesting to watch the water cloud with milk 😆 breastfeeding and women's bodies are so fascinating!
I have had mastitis without having been pregnant or breastfed before. It can happen to anyone at any time. It's just more common in breastfeeding mothers.
I wouldn't have thought you'd get mastitis during pregnancy, that's interesting. thought I had it during nursing my second but i didn't luckily. hope it goes away fast for you!
Wow Natalie, I’m so glad you made a video on this. I’m 34 weeks pregnant and noticed stuff coming out of my left nipple and I squeezed it and some blood also came out. I’m thinking I might have some kind of infection also. I was so freaked out because this is my first pregnancy and I had no idea this could happen or how. I’ll be calling my midwife but have no idea what to expect and I really don’t want to be on antibiotics... ☹️
I just found your video cause it happened the same with me and I was searching to see if it was a normal thing, I did had mastitis while I was breastfeeding my first son, now I’m also 30 weeks pregnant and I got breast infection, I started to leak on my right breast (28 weeks pregnant ) 2 weeks later (30 weeks pregnant) I got mastitis on that breast.. I had no clue that could be possible. I’m now on antibiotics. This is just painful 😓
O Natalie, you poor thing! I had mastitis but had breastfeeding to help ease the inflammation. So I can only imagine how strange it must be to have it while pregnant! Hang in there Mumma xxx
hey... I have twins (boy/girl) they just turn 1yr, when did you started to plan on having another baby ? hasn't been hard on keeping up with the twins ? if you have to do it all over again, would you wait linger, or do it sooner. my husband and I having been talking about having another baby, but we don't know if we should wait, or start. love your channel. GBU
Do you think people would watch a video of a pregnant person with cerebral palsy disabled go through a pregnancy just asking for thoughts? Please do not judge me because I already have a 5 year old son that is in kindergarten
Almost there Natalie!!! I'm excited for you! I'm 29 weeks and also excited for my big day. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and that makes me feel a little bit down 😔 I hope you get better!!
You shouldn't have to give a disclaimer that you're talking about breastfeeding/milk. It's natural and this is a pregnancy video. Stop sexualizing it, NORMALIZE IT.
Ashleigh Gulden I didn't make a disclaimer based in the fact that I (or anyone else) saw it as anything sexual, my disclaimer was to warn those who are squeamish about bodily fluids and hearing about painful medical conditions.
Taylor Blackwell my comment wasn't rude in any way, I am EBF and it's been such a hard road because people don't normalize it. I misunderstood her disclaimer, that's it. 😘😅
Jewels Vlogs It all depends on your cycle, but if you haven't had your periods during that timeframe, you might wanna take a test... Hope this helps :)
My sister also suffered from 10 years of infertility but finally had a baby about 6 months ago ! I understand your fear as I've seen how scared and terrified my sister was but Don't worry , Just be careful and follow your doc's instructions and everything will be fine :D
I didn't even realize it but today I hit 30K subscribers on this channel! Thank you all so much for joining me as I do what I love- make videos for YOU!

xoe2421 I'm April 28
xoe2421 my mom was due the 23rd as well and had me the 8th! hahah
These are old vids but I’m 30 weeks now and love following along to compare and contrast. I never knew you could get mastitis during pregnancy🥺
It's VERY rare in a first time pregnancy because the milk ducts have never functioned in that capacity before. But in subsequent pregnancies the chances of it get a little higher even though it's still rare. Thanks for watching!
I can't belive only few more weeks are left, it seems like time is flying by fast. Will you do a whats in my hospital bag video?
Yesss!!! And she's going to start packing on that vernix! You're spot on with your education, I'm a nursing student and I just wrapped up my OB rotations, I love hearing patients who understand what's happening....but I love teaching those who don't. Good info Natalie👍🏻

Jona Kalinka I've seen quark at Haggen's if you're thinking about trying it
Lecithin capsules can help with plugged ducts and/or mastitis. It basically makes the milk "slipperier" so it doesn't clog as easily.

Mastitis is absolutely horrible so I am amazed at how smiley and positive you seem, good for you!! Hoping it clears soon 😊 Xx

I had it horribly with my first born right around 2 weeks PP. It is horrible! I'm glad you're on an antibiotic!
I hope that it clears up very soon. InshaAllah. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Oh no praying that it clears up fast! 😣 I have never experienced it to that degree. I never knew it could happen while pregnant.
Oh Natalie, i'm so sorry! I hope you get better soon and your breast heals quickly!
I hope your condition does get better soon! I'm pregnant with my first & i think we might be due around the same date. Congrats on your baby girl (: your videos are really helpful especially since we are about in the same week each time you post.
Mastitis is THE WORST! I'm so sorry you've had this!!! Praying for you Nat! Xo

I use to get blocked ducts as well... it was awful. I had my milk come in really fast the second time around. Feel better mama💓
You’re such a trooper to nurse that long. I really hope to this time. I was only able to nurse my son for 4-5 months because I was pregnant again.
I love how real you are Natalie 😀

Me too. But with no fever

You are wonderful! I'm 30 weeks now and enjoy watching your videos.
I just found your video cause it happened the same with me and I was searching to see if it was a normal thing, I did had mastitis while I was breastfeeding my first son, now I’m also 30 weeks pregnant and I got breast infection, I started to leak on my right breast (28 weeks pregnant ) 2 weeks later (30 weeks pregnant) I got mastitis on that breast.. I had no clue that could be possible. I’m now on antibiotics. This is just painful 😓
Water is the most important if you're having a ton of Braxton hicks. And be careful with lavender oil during pregnancy
O Natalie, you poor thing! I had mastitis but had breastfeeding to help ease the inflammation. So I can only imagine how strange it must be to have it while pregnant! Hang in there Mumma xxx
I'm so sorry you have mastitis. I'm so nervous about getting it while pregnant. I'm nursing my 18m old but I want to wean.
hey... I have twins (boy/girl) they just turn 1yr, when did you started to plan on having another baby
? hasn't been hard on keeping up with the twins ? if you have to do it all over again, would you wait linger, or do it sooner. my husband and I having been talking about having another baby, but we don't know if we should wait, or start. love your channel. GBU
I’ve been leaking since the end of my first trimester maybe it’s a second time pregnancy thing.
My fiance had the flu he didn't know till like 5 days after symptoms started and then our son got it and I got it now and it's horrible.
I am 30 weeks as well and I have been diagnosed with mastitis as well 🤒
get well soon. hope this becomes better soon 😊
Do you think people would watch a video of a pregnant person with cerebral palsy disabled go through a pregnancy just asking for thoughts? Please do not judge me because I already have a 5 year old son that is in kindergarten
Kathlene Kopp Why not? You might not be the only one with this condition. Maybe it will serve as an encouragement!
ugh that sounds awful :( I got a ton of blocked ducts when I was breastfeeding....and that was awful!! I hope you feel better and don't get it again
I'm so excited !
Get well soon Natalie! X
Second comment wooh! Love these videos, praying for you always Natalie 💜
That stinks so bad. I didn't even know mastitis during pregnancy was a thing! 😱 Hope you're feeling better soon.
Almost there Natalie!!! I'm excited for you!
I'm 29 weeks and also excited for my big day. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and that makes me feel a little bit down 😔
I hope you get better!!
Hope you get some relief!!!
Hope you feel better! ❤️
Mastitis is the worst! I can't imagine having it during pregnancy! Ugh! Hang in there! 🙁💙
mastitis sucks! I had it so many times I completely stopped wearing bras. 😂 but I seriously did. Lecithin is what works for me.
I have a treat and prevent mastitis video on my channel
Natalie, you are such an adorable human!
Just a heads up.... I heard lavender can start up contractions, so be careful :)
Winging It interesting. I've always been taught it can slow down contractions because of its soothing and relaxing effect.
Im 30 weeks and I still haven’t experienced Braxton Hicks
You shouldn't have to give a disclaimer that you're talking about breastfeeding/milk. It's natural and this is a pregnancy video. Stop sexualizing it, NORMALIZE IT.

Natalie Bennett I guess I just assumed people would expect that since they're pregnancy updates. 🙃👍
Natalie Bennett Ignore her. The rest of us got your point :) it was polite of you to warn.
Taylor Blackwell my comment wasn't rude in any way, I am EBF and it's been such a hard road because people don't normalize it. I misunderstood her disclaimer, that's it. 😘😅
Feel better soon, swee'pea! x
hi natalie i have to ask something
First comment!! I'm so excited to see the baby!!
super happy for you, would 4 weeks since intercourse be to early for me for a home pregnancy test? congrats and nothing but the best xo
Jewels Vlogs It all depends on your cycle, but if you haven't had your periods during that timeframe, you might wanna take a test... Hope this helps :)
+Olivia Omonombe my period isn't due yet tho thats the thing. I feel nausea but not been sick
You look great
hot/warm shower😊 not during pregnancy....but it is not fun to get it any time😉 hope it passes fast
I had mastitis twice while I was breastfeeding, but I had no idea you could get it while pregnant 😳
Also once I started antibiotics everything cleared up within 48 hours
You're so funny!
