She developed increasing firmness and swelling in her left breast that is causing increasing pain and noticed that her nipples developed cracks two days ago. She made an appointment to see her obstetrician because she had a fever and chills that began this morning and had breast pain that became “unbearable” whenever she tried to breastfeed.
Personal/Social History:
Maria is newly married and motivated to be a good mom. Before her pregnancy, she had an occasional glass of wine with her meals but has abstained since she found out she was pregnant.
She has six weeks off before she has return to work. Her parents do not live close by and she has few friends because she moved from a different state because of her husband’s job transfer.
