Clogged milk duct in pregnancy?? Is this possible?

Clogged milk duct in pregnancy?? Is this possible?

I am 25 weeks pregnant now and I was wondering if it is possible to have a clogged milk duct already...I had experienced this several times when I was nursing my first daughter. I have been producing clearish/yellow collostrum(sp?) for about 2 months now...and for about a week and a half I have been having a shooting pain right near my areola and then it aches for hours and it seems to be a little hard in the area(though not as hard as a clogged duct when nursing)...it hasn't really gone away, it just hurts less as long as I don't bump it or touch it. Could it be clogged from producing the collostrum? If that is possible, what can I do about it? I have tried warm compresses, but to no avail...when I had the blocked ducts while nursing, I continue to nurse as normal(though painful) and they worked their way out, which what I was told would happen as long as it didn't become infected...I am wondering it this is a possible infection..what can this be and what can I do about it?~bops

It sounds like it could be I would make a call to the doc and see what they want you to do about it.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a clogged milk duct when you are just producing collostrum in pregnancy?? Either way, I am going to a prenatal visit tommorrow and I will ask my midwife about it...but I was wondering if that is what it could be or if anyone has experienced this while pregnant?

Ruby...What are YOU still doing here?? WHy don't you go ahead and have your little booger already? LOL, but seriously...;0
