NAGKAPROBLEMA sa kanyang dibdib ang dating beauty queen at TV host na si Miram Quiambao-Roberto matapos itong masiko ng kanyang anak na si Elijah.
Ibinahagi niya sa kanyang Instagram account ang tungkol sa kanyang mastitis, “a condition where the breasts become inflamed due to plugged ducts” ayon sa isang health website.
Nag-post si Miriam ng kanyang litrato sa IG at ikinuwento nga kung gaano ka-painful ang naging karanasan niya sa “mastitis.”
“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 9 p.m. I was starting to feel feverish,” simulang kuwento ni Miriam.
“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,” pahayag ng actress-TV host.
Nagbigay din siya ng mensahe para sa mga tulad niyang mommy na nakararanas din ng mastitis at iba pang health problems.
“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. – Phil. 4:13,” pahabol pa niyang post gamit ang hashtag #NationalBreastfeedingMonth, #BreastfeedingMom, #MastitisSurvivor at #jesusismyhealer.”
Sakto naman ang pagse-share ni Miriam ng kanyang mastitis experience sa publiko dahil ipinagdiriwang din ngayong August ang Breastfeeding Awareness Month sa Pilipinas.
