Hey everyone!
I ordered my NB last summer, but then got very busy and never really got into the habit of using it, so it kind of just sat there until now. But I am back on the wagon and more determined than ever to stick with it (I am, at the very most, an AA--maybe more like a AAA--and have no size goal besides whatever I can get--I'm starting out extremely small so I don't want to push my luck!). I know most people notice a difference between the size of their breasts normally and the size of their breasts right after they pump. I, however, do not notice a difference in size. They look a bit more pink, of course, but they are exactly the same size as before. The only noticeable difference is that my nipples and areolas are inflamed and swollen, but I wouldn't exactly say it's a positive thing. They look so puffy that they almost appear to be a whole different entity from my actual breast, and feel slightly sore and irritated; they look like little mounds sitting on top of the breast tissue--it's very weird looking.
Anyway, I keep reading about how peoples' breasts are swollen after they pump, and I'm trying to figure out why mine aren't, and what the heck is going on with my areolas/nipples. Is it just because my breasts are so tiny to begin with? I am almost filling the small cups when I pump; like my right nipple is squashed up against the top, but there is a little bit of room on the sides, and my left nipple almost touches the top (my left is smaller than my right)--but when I take them off, they deflate completely and do not look any different except for the puffy, tender nipples. Am I doing something wrong when I pump that could be making it so I don't swell?
Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!
