Yes it's normal for them to stay a little swollen. I've seen several females that weren't bred during their heat cycle have swelling there that eventually will go away. Many members on here have posted asking the same question as you too so it's very common

Occasionally a female can go through a false pregnancy if not bred so watch for that...swollen breasts can be a symptom of that, but with a false pregnancy the belly may swell, she might nest and carry around toys like they are her babies, and in severe cases will go through labor-like symptoms.
