I'm coming up to 40 weeks pregnant and this is dc number 3. I've never managed to breastfeed for as long as I'd like to previously and want to get it right this time around.
Ever since I found out I was pregnant my nipples have been shocking. Dry, cracked skin. Bleeding. Bouts of thrush. Especially on the left side. I've been to the gp a few times and been fobbed off with cream etc.
I've started getting milk the past couple of weeks and been getting substantially more out of the right side. I've felt pain in the left occasionally and tried expressing a little to see if it would relieve any pressure type feelings. Getting the normal clear/cloudy coloured milk apart from one duct which is really quite green/yellow. Again I'm not getting much but whenever I do this it's always green/yellow from the same spot and I'm worrying something is wrong. My gp is no help and the midwife says to go to the gp so I'm a bit stuck!
I'm paranoid that baby won't feed from this side and that there's something wrong. Ideally I'd like to sort it before baby comes. I know you should never Google but after a few searches it says milk can be yellow/green and its fine. Am I worrying for nothing? I'd appreciate any advice.
