I weaned Kate .... last Friday night was the last time I nursed her. It sounds exciting and great .... but I'm in pain. I didn't realize that weaning her 18 month old, only once a day nursing self cold turkey would be so horrifying. Do you think it's possible to actually burst from engorgement? At this point, I do. It hurts to even move my arm. The nurse at the doctor's office tells me it is normal and will eventually get better. It's been 6 days??!! Shouldn't my body be getting the picture by now? I can't even hold her, for fear she will brush against me and I might pass out.
Poor me. (sorry, I feel VERY sorry for myself today. I guess the pain is too much to bear for this long)
I wonder how long "eventually" will be.
**I told Brielle to dial 911 if I'm lying on the floor and there's milk splattered everywhere.**

You are funny Honor! I'm actually surprised you got engoreged. Hope you feel better soon.
I love being a mama! That Kate sure loved to nurse. I have felt your pain;)
Ouch! :( You poor thing...I hope it gets better soon!
ouch!! I say get a big ol' sheet and wrap it as tight tight tight as you can stand and it will help. (Your last sentence cracked me up.) I feel for you and know all to well how it feels to stop cold turkey. I too am surprised that your body is responding like this but hot shower and then wrap! :)
I hate weaning. Hope you are feeling better today...
