i was about 15 weeks along and had an abortion about 5 days ago, and started leaking breast milk right after.

Will my breasts get smaller?
i was 18 weeks and had my abortion done 5 days too. i had colostrum leaking for couple of weeks before, but its definitely gotten worse since then. they've been leaking a lot in the last day or so and have gotten smaller, but mine swelled a lot while i was pregnant idk if yours did too or if that makes a difference.

mine have also had a lot of hard lumps in them and ive been trying to figure out if that's normal and safe or not, and so far no such luck.

Your breasts were preparing themselves for nursing. The do swell and they do leak which will subside soon. The lumps that godmommy feels are actually swollen milk ducts. You can massage your breasts with warm oil to help the ducts loosen up or imerge yourself in your bathtub and let them soak in warm water. If the leaking is really getting on your nerves, place breast pads inside of your bra. Place a small amount of vaseline on the breast pad itself so it doesn't stick to your nipple when you try to take it off.
Your breasts will go back to their normal size in a few weeks.

I agree. It is totally nonsense this theory - that your breasts are getting smaller after an abortion. It is just like when you are using a emergency contraception, for example. Your hormones are changing and your body is changing as well. The only thing that can happen with your breast after an abortion is a swollen breast, but that is pretty much normal after that procedure. I think that five weeks after an abortion, your breasts will go back to normal. I know a couple of cases and after a while, all of those ladies were just like they were before.

after i had the abortion my breasts had swollen up and went rock hard and were leaking alot. they wouldn't fit in my bras and were hurting alot if i touched them
sinse they've gone down they've dropped a size, look lifeless, and feel really small and skinny, it's annoying when they shrink but it's just what happens :(
they feel really lifeless and are sometimes left with stretch marks, bio oil can help but it can be expensive in some places so a cheaper alternative which is just as good is putting baby oil on your wet breasts straight after you've got out of the bath or shower, then leave them to dry naturally with the oil on, or you can do the same with body butter, doing this morning and night, and if you wish sometime throughout the day.
Abortions arn't easy so if you have stuff to ask always ask a proffesional like you doctor or ring the aftercare line you were given from the centre.

 btw abortion is up to 24 wks though some places refuse to do past 20wk.

Really though? People are having a mature conversation and your going to post this, people go through a rough time when they have an abortion, they dont need someone like you to make it any worse. So please, move along.

I just think it is soooo amazing how "Christian" people can find a site for people looking for support and answers and come down so hard with the judgements. Everyone has their own reasons for doing what they've done and those who judge have no place to add their input. It all comes down to BELIEF... If you BELIEVE that god will punish someone for abortion thats you but don't force your belief on others.I don't really have a religion so to me.. I BELIEVE that I made the right choice for myself and my future. I can't support a child and I won't get any help from anyone else so I had to do what I thought was right. I don't BELIEVE that there is a god who will judge me for my actions so for me- I did what I had to do and if there is a god I can't BELIEVE that he would put people on this earth who are so hateful of people who are only trying to do what's best for themselves. If you don't think abortion is right that's fine but don't look down your nose at others who can't support another life.

To those who think they are saints... one of the 10 commandments say ''THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE'' and if u really are a christian u will know that the Lord is the only one who can judge us.. remember in the eyes of the Lord theres no big sin and small sin!!! a sin is a sin.. and if il go to hell for having an abortion, then will both go to hell cause u JUDGED ME, ur as much sinner as iam!! so think twice before u think u perfect

To each their own. Why would you share your personal belief on an informative blog? By stating your opinion you are not gaining anything. Get over yourself. My heart goes out to you for your miscarriage. I do feel sorry for you, which I'm guessing is what you wanted by posting your personal information, declaring your views, and dissing others for their situations. On topic now.... My body for one reason or another believes that I have delivered a child when it has not. Two days after my body assumed this my breast began to become rock hard leaving me in pain. Wear a sports bra that isn't too tight. My breast were so painful I decided to seek relief by milking them. Its the second day I have been doing this and I'm hoping it won't go on too much longer. Anyone have any information for if you do milk yourself pertaining to the length of time you produced milk? I understand it may prolong the production of milk. Thank you for any informative response.

who are you to judge ? your not god either. im sorry you misscarraged people that actually want kids and cant, i do feel sorry for. I'm currently 8 weeks and 4 days and I am having an abortion this tuesday. Your clearly not going to heaven either if your telling other people they're not going simply because it was THEIR choice not to have a kid. and usually they have good reasons. MINE happens to be because I am 16 and do not want the responsibility of having a child. Especially since everyone who has sex clearly doesn't "want" a kid. I was on birth control and we used a condom. and i still got pregnant. Stop judging people for making their own choices and maybe you will go to heaven. I cant stand people like you. If you dont like abortions then dont read things on the internet about them, get a life and stop trying to tell everyone else how to live theirs. kthanks (:
