Can't stop lactating after stillbirth

| I delivered on Friday morning. Woke up from surgery and already felt "hard." Nurses claimed that wasn't engorment and it comes a day or 2 later. She also said it will probably never come or very little since I was only 24 weeks. Well I've literally soaked through a sports bra an hour all night. I'm doing cabbage and Sudafed. I was hoping by today it would be better but I literally can't even lift my arms and my chest feels like stone. This combined with coming off the progesterone is making me an insane lerson. Hot flashes, endless tears. I feel like I'm losing my mind. How can I get this to stop? |

| I’m so sorry. My cousin got two shots. |

| Sudafed and no more milk tea, plus ibuprofen for the pain. Try to avoid hot water right on your breasts or anything else that will stimulate a let down. That will encourage more milk production. The shots aren't standard anymore, but I would definitely ask under your circumstances. So so sorry for your loss. |

| Super tight bind the chest. Like transman bindings. |

Careful about clogged ducts with bindings. If OP is lactating as much as she is, I wouldn't risk mastitis on top of everything else. OP, why not talk to a lactation consultant? Even just call the Breastfeeding Center if you don't feel up for going anywhere. Hugs to you. |

| I'm so terribly sorry. Call your OB. There's a shot or pill they can give you. |

| So sorry OP! I did cabbage leaves, sports bra and sudafed as well. The worst was dealing with the tail end when I had to return to work 2 weeks pp. hang in there! |

| Really sorry for your loss. I did sudafed, changed out chilled cabbage leaves in my sports bra every hour. Things got better in 2-3 days. You will get through this! |
