Crotch addendum

I’m writing this post from my iPhone because I’m currently pantsless in bed with a milk drunk infant waiting for Rich to get back with medicine for my crotch.

Interesting fact: Monistat creams are alcohol-based so when applied in an attempt to relieve itching and burning, they can actually light you on fire.

My dear husband is heading to get me a prescription cortisone ointment that has no alcohol in it. Poor guy found his wife on the bathroom floor crying with clenched fists about to kick a whole in the tub after trying the other cream.

Funny thing is even though I was in all that pain, I wanted to get up and find Ian because he was hungry and alone and squawking for me. Biology is a potent thing.

While nursing my baby, I had a nice chat with one of the doctors on call who called in my script and suggested I see Dr. D tomorrow for a follow up.

I’m ready for my epidural now. Rich may want some drugs too before this is all over.

    I have no idea how you are handling this on top of the post delivery pain. But, I am glad you got a script and will have this taken care of post haste.

    BTW, the announcement was adorable. Thank you.

    This will be a piece of cake by the time he's a teenager. :)

    I SO feel your pain. I had mastitis not long after Henry was born, and it’s like a betrayal that your body is going so crazy when you should be just enjoying your baby!

    I’ve had the same problem with the OTC creams. I don’t know if you can take Diflucan while nursing (I *think* so, because I *think* it’s Rx’d for thrush), but that’s always what’s cleared them up best for me.

    I hope you get some relief soon!

    I'm headed to the pharmacy to get my Diflucan *right now*. Fingers crossed! :)

    I *think* (IIRC) that I ended up taking Diflucan for the thrush I had with Tommy. Obviously your OB wouldn't prescribe it if it weren't safe while breastfeeding – hope you're feeling better soon!
