It’s been nearly two weeks since Chelsea Houska welcomed her baby girl, and the time at home has been full of love — and pain.
The Teen Mom 2 star revealed in a candid tweet on Monday that she has been suffering from mastitis following her third child’s birth.
“This is the first day that I don’t feel like I’m dying since Thursday,” tweeted Houska, 27.
“I never knew how horrible mastitis was,” she wrote. “Aaaand I never want to go through it again.”
According to Mayo Clinic, “Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissue that sometimes involves an infection. The inflammation results in breast pain, swelling, warmth and redness. You might also have fever and chills.”
“Mastitis most commonly affects women who are breast-feeding (lactation mastitis). But mastitis can occur in women who aren’t breast-feeding and in men,” Mayo Clinic explains. “Lactation mastitis can cause you to feel run down, making it difficult to care for your baby.”
