I guess since I'm not nursing, I forgot that my body is still ready to rumble. Holy crap  is this weird....my boobs are like rock hard, leaky, and HUGE! Obviously I'm a first time mom, but wanted to share!  Get ready ladies!

    Put cabbage leaves on them (odd but it's supposed to help) and bind them up tight. It's the advice I was given when I had DD and told the hospital I didn't want to BF.

    I've had friends who have used the cabbage leaf trick...it's got to be green cabbage though, and you have to leave the leaves in your bra until they wilt and then replace them with fresh ones (keep them in the fridge and the coldness will help soothe your breasts too).

    I BF so I didn't want to diminish my milk supply when trying to treat engorgement, but I also found that wetting a couple of facecloths (microwave them until good and warm) and putting them on my boobs really helped ease the the pain and pressure.

    Also make sure to wear a really constricting bra (like a super tight sports bra).

    Hope those puppies calm down soon :)

    Well the pain isn't so bad, nothing near how much they hurt early in the first tri.  I'll probably try the cabbage in a few days if they're still like this.  I have 2 really tight sports bras but knew I needed more, so DH took me to target on Tuesday (had my c-section friday) so I could get some more...I felt so bad for him, I was in a scooter with a cart full of bras, nipple pads, and regular pads lol
