Methergine Injection = Low Milk Supply?

Updated

Received a methergine shot after delivery for hemorrhaging, never got much breast milk. Is it because of this?

Hello, Kate! How are you? Congrats on the baby!

And yes, it can cause that in some women, generally it is advised to avoid breast feeding for at least 12 hours after the last dose.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thank you he is a joy! Did you have the methergine yourself? Most lactation consultants seem to know little about it. I struggled to breastfeed, and I was always just told that the methergine would be out of my system by now. I don't know if it had long term effects on me bc it was introduced before my milk even “came in".
