Let's talk about boobs! (not about BFing)

Las135

So, before having E, I was a nice perky B cup  and could pass for a C if I wore a push up.  I am average/athletic build, but was always lacking in the boob department.  Well after having a baby, I hate that I did not appreciating my smaller cup more.  I have worked, and worked and worked to get my body back to pre-preg.  I suffered a m/c the month prior to getting pregnant with my DS, so I feel like I was pregnant for 11 months.  I definitely gained more weight then I would have liked. 

Now that I am back to pre-preg weight, I am back into skinny jeans and bottoms... BUT.... my boobs are huge.  I am a solid D cup of boobage! I hate it, I feel like it makes me look heavier than I am.  I feel like I look top heavy! And my nipples poke out the top of my bathing suit!!!  Maybe it is just not being used to having big boobies, but I hate it.  I have tried lifting weights, and even bought a kayak (we live on the water, and it is a great chest/arms exercise).  

Has anyone else had this problem.  Any advice??

Thanks Ladies!!!

Be happy you are only a D. If only... I was a 36 C before getting pregnant. I am now a 38 i! No, not a D, or an E not even an H but an i! I didn't even know this was possible. I stopped breastfeeding at the end of December, hoping to go back down but NOTHING CHANGED!

 I am still 45 pounds heavier than I want to be but I have weighed this much before being pregnant and then I was only a D cup. I, too, want my small boobs back. I used to be a small B years ago and I miss that soooo much. I used to have perky boobs, now I have these massive hanging things. I really can't stand them. Oh, and this weekend, during some adult time with my H, I also started lactating during the moment. That was fun. Not.

I have the opposite problem! I was a 36D prepregnancy, a 38E during, and after weaning they are gone! I still measure as a 34C but it is ALL SKIN. Completely deflated. I always thought the idea of a boob job was awful but now I see why people do! I'm within five pounds of prepregnancy weight but I'm 135 so not wasting away or anything. I knew breastfeeding would do a number on them but wow, floppy pancakes :-)

I have always had huge boobs. I was a 32F before getting pregnant they got fuller like @katrine_05‌. Well long story short I never got milk hense no bf. Well now im still wanting to loose about 30 lbs but am at my prepregnancy weight and my boobs are now a 36I I have always hated my boobs. I have to be so skinny to not look heavy like 114lbs. Forget trying to find a bathing suit its basically impossible I found one online thats bra top sized and it was $154 so much fun only having one swimsuit.

I was a B+, maybe a C with the right bra. Now I am an A+, barely B. I miss them!

@kittynap, sounds like we have the exact same boobs! I was always busty, they became ginormous during pregnancy and right after birth, and then they shrank at least a whole cup size from pre-pregnancy when I stopped breastfeeding and had lost all their "umpf".  Now that I'm pregnant again they are once again becoming huge.  I'm dreading what they'll look like after baby #2!

Same here. And I'm still bfing. They've gotten much smaller since we've cut back so I hope that's the extent of it and they won't continue shrinking once were totally done.

For me, no amount of weight loss/exercise ever changed my size. I had a reduction at 18 which was one of the best things I've ever done (even though it meant I couldn't breast feed). I love Lands End for bathing suits. They're expensive but I shop the sale/overstock to get ones with bra in right size.

I was 34F/G pre pregnancy (depending on style and brand) after birth I was a 38I. Then I went all tennis ball/tube sock as @kittynap described. Now I'm pregnant again and they are fuller. Lord help me after round 2 of BFing. I'm with you @katrine_05 I plan to have 'em lifted up and reduced when I'm done with kids. If I can prove they are bad for my health I can likely even get the government to pay for it. Shouldn't be a hard sell given the grooves on my shoulders from straps.

Nothing happened to my girls. I'm still a 38 B. I was hoping they would at least become C's but my milk never did come in so I never felt like it changed. When I went in to get remeasured after baby she marked me down as a 38 B....I was bummed. Oh well. 

One of my college roommates actually had a breast reduction in college. She went down to a 38C and she was SO VERY HAPPY afterwards, he back aches were gone, she could wear any clothing she wanted, she could play sports without the girls interfering. She was so much happier and healthier.

I was a 32C before BFing. At around a year, I noticed that my breasts were starting to feel lighter and deflate more after DS nursed. Now that he is weaned, they are 32B. They don't feel as dense as before. I am at peace with them even though they aren't as perky. It looks like I lost some weight. I'm nervous, though, about how they'll look after BFing a child in the future.
