Your boobs will expand (and it’s not as fun as it sounds). You give birth, you go home, you begin to heal and ease into life as a mother, and then a couple days later you wake up in a panic because it feels like your boobs might explode. It’s totally normal; it just means that your milk has come in and that you’ll probably look like a porn star for the next few weeks/months. If your breasts are not in pain, then enjoy it and beware of leakage. If you do experience discomfort or intense pain then check with a lactation expert or your doctor to make sure you do not have mastitis, which can result from a blocked milk duct.
