All of the sudden you will notice the swelling. Just as Anastasia mentioned, at first it won't last long, then you will notice it lasting longer and longer. Wear a good bra that your breasts fit nicely into after pumping, something that cups your breast and supports them, but does not restrict them. It will help to retain the swelling when it comes. At first my instinct was to go braless after pumping cause you just want to relax and hang loose, but once I started wearing a bra afterwards, my swelling lasted much longer. Plus, at some point they got too heavy to just hang there.
I actually remember the first day mine did not deflate immediately after taking the domes off. Well.....maybe I don't have the day marked on the calendar, but I remember taking the domes off, feeling my boobs, and running to the mirror to confirm that I had swelling. It was atleast 2-3 months into pumping, and it was after I stepped up my pumping to several hourly sessions daily. It happened suddenly, one day no swelling, the next day I had swelling, and it just keeps getting better.
Don't get discouraged, I bet within a month you both (Emmie and Mel) will be posting about your incredible swelling!
