Long heartbreaking story short, I had a D&E this past Tuesday at exactly 21 weeks. Had some breast discomfort last night but nothing too major. Fast forward to this morning and I woke up to major porn star titties! Now, I wouldn't mind, except for the fact that they hurt like hell, are heavy, and are HARD. After doing much research, starting home remedies, and just trying to get by, I called the Dr and they confirmed that I'm doing exactly what I should be right now. In the US they no longer give the medicine they used to that dried up milk because they found it caused too many seizures and blood clots. SO, long story short, here I am 3 days post D&E going back and forth between numb/in denial, to a puddle of tears and snot, looking FAB-U-LOUS! Tight sports bra holding green cabbage leaves on my boobs, 2nd sports bra holding on ice packs, and taking benadryl and sudafed......I just have to laugh! It's not a funny situation, BUT seriously, what a sexy look, and the smell, oh God the smell of the raw cabbage being warmed by my boobs......just hoping this keeps me going in the right direction, and helps me avoid mastitis!

(UPDATE: boobs are still large and in charge, and leaking a bit, but the cabbage/tight sports bra/sudafed/benadryl/ice routine has drastically reduced the amount of pain I was in! They're also not as warm to the touch as they were, so I feel like I'm going in the right direction)
