Miriam Quiambao suffers from mastitis: “Getting the baby to drain my breast was SUPER PAINFUL”

Former beauty queen Miriam Quiambao shared to her fans and followers an unfortunate event as she recalled the time when she suffered from Mastitis.

In her Instagram account, Miriam posted an ‘unfiltered’ photo of her taken ‘a couple of nights ago’ when she was having a hard time as she suffered from mastitis. According to Miriam, her newborn son, baby Ziki accidentally elbowed her breast. Miriam also opened on how painful it was when baby Ziki had to ‘suck on the affected breast to drain the blocked duct’.

Fortunately, Miriam shared that she is now feeling much better.

“This was me a couple of nights ago when I was suffering from mastitis and I was making Baby Ziki suck on the affected breast to drain the blocked duct.

Earlier that afternoon, Elijah was snuggling against me and accidentally elbowed my breast. By early evening, my breast was engorged, warm, sore and tender and by 9pm I was starting to feel feverish. I texted my Ob/Gyne @dr.beckysingson of my plight and she suggested to take a paracetamol and quadruple my intake of advanced omega pills to help reduce inflammation.

Getting the baby to drain my breast was SUPER PAINFUL that I really winced in pain and teared up at some point but it had to be done. Took this photo as a reminder of that night. By God’s grace, now, I feel much better.

I reminded myself that I’ve been through worse pain before (spiritual, emotional, mental, financial, physical… such as the pain from my suture post-CS). Surely, even this, I can handle with God’s grace.

I don’t know what challenges you are facing— whether you are a breastfeeding mom like me or if you suffering through depression, a physical, financial, emotional or spiritual challenge.

Know that God will never give you a challenge that you cannot handle. His grace is always sufficient and you can rely on Him to give you the strength you need at any given time.

“I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength. #NationalBreastfeedingMonth #BreastfeedingMom #MastitisSurvivor #jesusismyhealer” – Phil. 4:13” Miriam wrote in the caption.
