hi everyone,

firstly can i just say thankyou so much for your support over the last couple of days - had areally rocky time and the kind words of advice and support everyone gave have been really helpful.

So therefore im after advice again lol!

When does all the swelling go and how do you know when it's completley gone? also when do they soften and do they go smaller?

Thnaks everyone - hope everyone is good!!! x

Swelling generally lasts about two to three weeks. Settling takes longer, about three to six months.

Hi, jus thought id add although all my swelling as gone in terms of my boobs. However When I went for my check up at 9 weeks, he said i still had some swelling in between them (I had wandered what the slightly raised bit was). Mine were very soft ''overs'' from about 8weeks ish.

Mine still apperar a tad swollen although they have improved loads, one is better than the other tho, i think everyone is different in terms of healing so its hard to give an exact time, xxx

I think my swelling went after about 4th week hun and within the last week they seem to have softened a lot.

I have been massaging a little bit so maybe this is helping, but as em s said everyones different.

Hope I don't sound silly but how do you tell if you have swelling? I had my ba 8 days ago and still have the tape/ bandaging on so can't see the full shape yet.

Its hard to decribe but you just know, they feel kind of rubbery and tender, once its gone you can tell and they feel more real and soft, it can take up to 6 weeks with unders for it to fully go down x
