yes, when the moms are done, there isn't much you can do about it!!
I actually had the same concern you did, I had a mom that was done and she was VERY engorged and it just looked sooo painful! i was afraid of mastitis. I did you what you did, warm compress and then I milked her to release some of the pressure. She cleared up in about a week
Here is what she looked like

Definitely not something I like to see.

Hope everything goes ok for your little mommy!
