Mastitis in pregnancy?

Hi all! I’m 24 weeks pregnant and this morning woke up with my left breast feeling even heavier than usual. By midday it was really painful and when I got home that afternoon and managed to get my bra off I cud feel that it was warm to the touch and when I squeezed it, a milky yellow liquid came out (sorry tmi!! I know sounds gross) I’ve had mastitis before when breastfeeding but this time I don’t have any flu like symptoms with it. I’m going to call my GP in the am just wondering if anyone else had experience with this as most websites discuss mastitis in breastfeeding? Or could it maybe be a blocked duct? Thanks x

I had mastitis in pregnancy, felt poorly and had sore boob so went to docs.

Promptly fainted while sitting on chair.

Refused hospital trip and went home and slept, can’t remember whether I took any antibiotics though

Oh dear! Spoke to gp today and he said it’s really rare but he’ll give me antibiotics. I’ve been going through cabbage leaves in the meantime.
