I forgot how huge my boobs would be.

Had little man on Tuesday and my milk started coming in last night. Holy hell.

I was already a 38D but I need a freaking hammock for these! Someone else complain with me... I know I'm happy I can nurse easily but my goodness!

I feel your pain! LO is still inside but when I had DS my boobs were the hugest I have ever seen. I am a DD when not pregnant....they get absolutely massive when BFing. I will be able to commiserate with you shortly

38 DD here, my breastfeeding feeding boobs look like they can smother my newborn

I had zero boobs pre pregnancy, I thought big boobs while pregnant and holy shit batman huge boobs now that my milk has come in! I'm at FTM so this is all new to me but wow!! My poor babies head is lost when she tries to latch to these melons!

And the agony of rock hard hooters while it's coming in...they're pretty magnificent but it breaks DH's heart that he can only touch them if it's to help me milk out soft lol

I was a small B pre-preg. When my milk came in and I became engorged I measured for curiousity's sake and I would be a DD. Doesn't sound like much but they felt HUGE to me! DH was so, so bummed he couldn't touch (I'm drying up) but I did cheat and let him massage me once.

Um, I'm chilling at a 38G right now (34DD pre preg). Please don't scare me.

Had the worst time finding nursing bras that might work, since I'm a 32F normally. I truly cannot imagine where things will end up. I'm hoping that after breast feeding, my normal could shrink a little... It would be a pleasant change!

Mine have gotten bigger with each kid and never shrunk down between. I went to the specialty bra store last week for a new fitting and I HAVE OUTGROWN THE SPECIALTY BRA STORE. So frustrating. Now ordering clown sized bras online in the hopes of finding one that fits. When I lay on my back it gets hard to breathe when I have a lot of milk because they're so fricking heavy. I can't find any nursing tanks or sleep bras that work. Shirts that fit in the bust are too big everywhere else.

I can feel the tendons and tissue straining because they're not supported and I'm pretty sure they'll hang down to my belly button eventually. And if they keep getting bigger with each kid what am I going to do if we keep having more kids?

I'm so scared lol I'm sitting at a 34 ddd...up 2 sizes from pre preg...oh please don't get bigger!
Do they ever go down when your done breast feeding????

This is about the same as mine...and yes they got bigger when the milk came in

But for me personally, the girls went back to normal size after I quit BFing.

This might not be helpful, but I was surprised to find that bravados nursing tanks are sized like bras and have some larger sizes. I've also been scouting zulily- sometimes they've got brands I don't know in larger cup sizes. Today I think they've got nursing bras on there. I've gotten a few that way- they can't be returned, but the cost is so much lower than the specialty stores that it's a calculated risk.

was a 38F before pregnancy with my first, but ended up in the H+ territory afterward. The girls at work were like holy cow those things are monstrous.

Now, even with losing weight, I'm firmly stuck in the 36/38 H category and I'm wondering where they'll go after my milk comes in. /cries I want a breast reduction.

For most people, yes.  But for some people, no.  I know people who have ended up even smaller than they originally were after.  I'm one of the "lucky" ones who has not gotten smaller after, and has continued to get larger each pregnancy.  At first it was neat; once you get to G/H/I/J territory, it is no longer fun.

oh wow. ::gives you shoulder to cry on while i stare into the distance and ponder life with ginormous boobs::

This was an overnight surprise for me. My boobs didn't change at all during pregnancy and then 3 days after DS was born I woke up, looked in the mirror and literally shrieked. They had transformed overnight into these huge, hard, foreign objects that didn't even look like they belong to me. I'm still on the hunt for a nursing bra supportive enough to contain them.

cnbean

I'm in the same boat. I felt like my boobs were gigantic during pregnancy, but now...I think we have entered porn star territory!  (  And poor DH can't even enjoy them. I'm really hoping that once I dry up here they will go back to my pre-pregnancy size. I got bigger after DS1 was born so I'm not holding my breath. 

hfooter

I was a 32DDD before pregnancy and they are now falling out of my 34GG. I don't even want to know how much bigger they will get when my milk comes in.

I've already told DH that after we are done with kids my boobs are getting fixed. I miss my old prepregnancy perky boobs.

I feel ya! I was a 38 ddd before this munchkin was here and now I seriously think I need a crane to keep them up! They are so heavy it's seriously amazing! DH felt them for the first time yesterday and said oh wow yeah those bad boys definitely have some weight.. Thanks buddy

Pics?

I'm right here with you. I bought nursing tanks in the same size I wore with the kid and they're woefully small. Frozen cabbage leaves are my frenz. On the plus side, the baby gained *half a freaking pound* in a day and is an ounce over his birth weight already.

I was just coming in here to suggest hotmilklingerie.com if you're having trouble finding big enough nursing bras. They go up to H cups even in the small band sizes. Although looks like that that's still not big enough for some of you guys. I'm kinda jealous and relieved at the same time. Still Wish I had big boobs! If you end up getting anything from hot milk, let me know how you like it, I'm thinking of ordering from them this time around as I despise the bras I got from destination maternity last time.

Where have you all been going to get sized?

busterbeagle

Brastop.com is great for big Boobie bras. They carry nursing bras and their sale prices are awesome.

The folks at my nordstrom are hit or miss, so I go to Intimacy or a boutique shop.

Thanks! The only place I've heard of is Nordstrom and I don't think there are any near me. What about Motherhood or a department store like JC Penney?

Nope.  They're not trained, and you won't get fit correctly.  Find a specialty bra store (not Victoria's Secret) in your area.
