Body Changes
Your breasts may leak enough to wear padding in your bra. You may notice some swelling of your feet, ankles, and hands by the end of the day – especially if the weather is warm or you have been on your feet a lot during the day.
Contact us if the swelling is excessive or accompanied by headaches or changes in vision.
