My 20 week DD slept through the night so this morning my boobs were really uncomfortable.

When I was just about to latch her on she kind of toppled over in my arms and her head bounced off my boob. Ouch!

Will my boob be ok? DD is fine poor wee thing? I

Didn't mean for there to be a question mark after fine. But DD is ok!

Can't believe she slept through yay!

Yowch! I feel your pain so much! I think it should be fine - I use ibuprofen gel after mine have been engorged and it really helps with the bruising and inflammation. Yay to sleeping through though!

I'd keep an eye open for a blocked duct. I got one when DS kicked me after his longest bit of sleep. However, I was quite prone to them, so I hope you'll be fine.

[cringes and feels pain too]

oh you poor thing, that really hurts

i would prob be rubbing the area gently in one direction towards the nipple, just to make sure the flow isn't stemmed at all, a blocked duct isn't great, as previously mentioned.

hope you're ok now and YAY!! too for the whole nights sleep

Ouch! Sympathies. My 20 week old also slept through for the the first time last night. Must be something in the air!
