Sept. 11 2018, Updated 2:27 p.m. ET
For Chelsea Houska, giving birth to her daughter Layne on August 29 was the least of her worries. The Teen Mom 2 star revealed to fans that the most painful part of having a child was what happened after she left the hospital!
This morning, Chelsea took to Twitter to tell fans, “This is the first day that I don’t feel like I’m dying since Thursday i never knew how horrible mastitis was. Aaaand I never want to go through it again.”
Chelsea first revealed she was suffering from mastitis, which is when breast tissue becomes inflamed due to an infection or a blocked milk duct, on Friday. “Mastisis is no joke,” she tweeted at the time.
The pain was so severe that Chelsea wasn’t even able to celebrate her daughter Aubree’s 9th birthday. “I felt so bad being so sick on Aubrees birthday but im so grateful for my parents who helped make her feel special and I can’t wait to give her the BEST day once im over this nastiness,” she wrote on Twitter.

Chelsea and Cole welcomed their daughter Layne on Chelsea’s birthday, August 29, two weeks earlier than expected.
