Anyone else a little disappointed with their 'new' boobs?

realsquirrel

This is obviously totally superficial, but I can't help feeling a little bummed about my new boobs. Before I got pregnant I had large A cups that I would always say were cone shaped. I've always dreamed of having ones that were nice and full on the bottom, even if they were still on the small side. Anyway, now my boobs have grown to a size C, but they're still the same pointy shape! Not only that, but the once pink nipples are super brown and surrounded by a ton of mottled brown spots. Sigh. I'm just realizing I'll never have the boobs of my dreams. Fortunately, my husband is the sweetest and most supportive guy, but I can't help but feel that he's a little disappointed too. Anyway, am I alone in this?

I expected them to become super plump and perky and my cup size hasn't changed but they're so much heavier and just look saggy. I'm 24 this shouldn't be, I hate it. The nipple thing I agree with though, they better go back to how they looked beforehand. I hate how huge they are

The discoloration goes away. They darken and enlarge so a newborn can make them out with their poor eyesight.

Mine haven't really grown this time, it seems. I was like a size E or F with my last baby but I'm a D now.

I actually like how full they are when pregnant and breastfeeding. Once I stop nursing they aren't so full anymore.

I actually like the darker nipples LOL. I'm a DD+ pre pregnancy, I love my boobs. But since gaining a couple cup sizes during this pregnancy, they are too big, so big that gravity is taking over if you know what I mean. I'm hoping they'll go back to the way the were after breastfeeding. But if not, baby's worth it.

I hate them--I feel like they've taken over my body! Before pregnancy, I was a small C and now I'm an E and they're always in the way! I'm excited for them to go back down, though they can do whatever they need to do for now if it helps LO.

Mine haven't grown at all... I don't get it.

I've been breastfeeding two years and mine haven't grown or changed much. They got a bit bigger when my milk came in at first but after a few months they went back down. They haven't changed this pregnancy as far as I can tell.

My boobs got so big during my first pregnancy and breastfeeding. After they were like deflated balloons.. Now they are full again but not as huge as last time which I'm thankful for.. I don't think any boobs ever go back to the same as before..

Mine haven't grown at all which I am kind of disappointed about. I'm still hopeful that post-baby when my milk comes in they'll grow. I've always had small breasts and while I'm not super insecure about them (I don't bother with padded bras and it certainly doesn't affect how comfortable I am in the nude) I really would like larger ones that fit my larger frame better. I feel kind of disproportionate to be a plus size girl with a large a/small b cup.

jbettles

I've always been busty, but they haven't really grown much, just the super dark nipples goin on. Husband has commented that my big belly makes my big boobs look small. I told him to TRUST me, they're still as big as ever!!! Sheesh!

jennsuzanne87

After complaining about how large and dark my nipples now are to my husband, he tried his best to comfort me- but basically ended up admitting he doesn't like them either. So, yeah- I'm a little disappointed too lol.

realsquirrel

It's honestly amazing how different everyone's bodies change during pregnancy. But, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone

kazmierczak0314

I was a small b before and now I'm a large b. I hate them. I can't wait for them to go back down in size. I hate the feeling of the bottom of my boobs touching my stomach. So uncomfortable and they get sweaty. I never thought I wouldn't like bigger boobs.

Willow1400

I feel like my cup size has stayed the same but the band is giving me the hugest red mark at the end of the day. I don't want to buy new bras until I have a better idea of what I'll need. I am underwhelmed.

mriandabusto

I was so in love with my boobs prepregnancy . Full C, perky and all the good stuff but now they're almost dd and kind of saggy my nipples are brown and there are splotches around them and im getting stretch marks so its all bothering me so much I can't stand looking at them.

magdalena1977

I never like my areolas before and I hate them even more. They are bigger and darker

Melzig76

Wait till your milk comes in & feels like you've had a boob job.

I really hope so!

surprisepkg31

I hate my giant areola and dark nips. So weird looking! My boobs are a DD before pregnancy, I'm not sure I'm guessing I'm an E now. They are very plump, but the nipples are like beef jerk to me. And my right nipple leaked the other day lol

AndieTessie

I loved my boobs before, now, not quite as much! My nipples have gotten way way darker and gravity has taken over. I was a DDD before so I was never looking forward to them getting bigger, but I never expected the sagging! I was able to go braless before and now I won't even sleep without a bralette on. I also have burst blood vessels around one of my nipples so that's not cute. Here's to hoping they go back to normal, now I really wish I let my husband take more pictures before lol!

DreaMak

My boobs didnt really grow much, i started at a C cup and and still a C cup just a tad full, nippes stayed the same size but my once pink/light brown nipples turned dark brown:/
I dont like it but my hisband is a weirdo and is into "big dark" nipples. Lol he's strange. And i now have stretch marks working there way around.
What's strange to me is it seems like the top and sides of my boobs are the parts that grow not the bottom so it looks really werid to me and i just hate it-.-

x2! Large A to a full C and at first it was kinda fun, before I had a belly. Now they touch my stomach if I'm not wearing a bra, and I've never experienced so much boob sweat!

Eamesgirl

I hate my new boobs. Honestly, it's the worst part of being pregnant. I was a DD before, and my boobs have grown 4 cup sizes. So I'm now wearing an I cup bra on a 5'1 frame. I'm dreaming of a breast reduction. They're so uncomfortable. And my bump is just now the same size as the boobs. Whenever I see my friends, it's the first thing they mention. Ugh!

beckygoetz93

Ughhh yes. I hate my boobs now. Before kids I had c-d while breastfeeding last time I got up to an e. Right now I think I'm there but I'm only wearing a dd that I don't quite fit into right. They do shrink back down but the problem is my nips got so big this time around. I just want some perky c's hahaha just gotta live with what we got I guess.

caityrose

Similar to you. I was a B but I hated the shape. Kind of more cone shape too. I already had pretty big aeroelas. Now they're dark. Bigger (bras kill me) and still pretty pointy. I like the little bit of cleavage I get from them but I think more of my clothes would have still fit over my belly if they hadn't gotten bigger. I just hope they go back to close what they were before when I'm all done

PreggersinParis

Yeah, I'm not at all thrilled with my bigger boobs. They look like saggy plops. Not really a great look for a formerly small-chested gal....can't wait to see what they look like after breast feeding! Stellar, I imagine....

Elysia21

I have 800g ultra high profile silicone implants... As round and "full" as they get. To be honest... They do look the same but they are sooo heavy and a lot bigger already! The only place I've got stretch marks so far.. Is the inside of my boobs where cleavage is and now going around the tops as well. Long very noticeable light purple/red stretch marks. It's so depressing to see and know I can't do anything to stop it!!

Anyways. For anyone who wishes they had these big honkin boobs.. I'd trade places in a heart beat! They're so uncomfortable and smother me when I lay down almost lol.. Heavy and makes it harder to breathe. All around not fun!

grannah

Hate them! 34dd before and 38e now. They are so heavy and its the only thing people talk about, not my bump! I just hope some shrinkage happens afterwards as it's the only thing I'm disliking about being pregnant!

baker1jm2

Hate hate hate them. .I was a nice 36c before which was perfectly proportional to my body. .I'm at a 36dd right now. I'm seriously hoping they shrink back after breast feeding

Mevi13

I've gone from a small 36C to a very full 42D so far (and I think they're still growing). I have no problem managing the size- hello newfound cleavage!- but I HATE my new nipples. Giant, dark and bumps everywhere. I seriously can barely stand to look at them. I remember watching breastfeeding videos before and wondering why everyone's nipples looked so big. Now I know. Hubby has tried to be reassuring, but they weird me out.

jojoladeeena

I was a 36 small c. I've been buying bras with a 40 band now! Plus my cups have gotten huge too! I think I'm about a DD now. My husband loves it, but I just feel like I can't wear anything now without my boobs being the main attraction! I got married at 19 weeks & wore the same dress I had before pregnancy (with a few alterarions) but my boobs were totally the star of the wedding, which some girls would love but I'm pretty modest.
I did buy a packet of the bra extenders, so I can let the band out on some bras that I have. That has helped a lot!

lauraj02

The other day my husband said your boobs are looking more ...functional ....

jen83mn

I just don't like the blue visible veins all over my boobs right now!

lolad5

I'm not minding the look of my boobs as much as I mind the weight of these suckers. These beasts combined with the bump is hurting my back daily. It's time to give in and buy some legit maternity bras and a back support belt. The size of these knockers does make me look more wide than I really am. That's upsetting. Hopefully a well fitting bra will fix that.

Blang2014

Mine were already DD and now they're a solid F cup and so heavy that they just look saggy, nothing perky about them, but my areolas have gotten so big my nipples look like dark brown sand dollars. Then there are a ton of brown splotches all around them. I also have a weird hormonal thing that happens where I get dark leopard like spots underneath my armpits that are dry and itchy. Stupid hormones. Oh and I started leaking colostrum around 23 weeks so that's added fun. Fortunately hubby doesn't mind he still tries to sneak a peak or grab them, nothing tames him.

Bra sizes have always confused me to begin with. I have a wide ribcage. I would say my breasts are small to medium normally but I'd wear 32-34 C or D bras in order to have cups that cover my full bust side-to-side at the tightest band/strap options. I've grown in size as I've gained weight. I had lost 60 lbs before pregnancy and so to me my chest has simply returned to what it was like weight loss (plus maybe a bit extra). I've always had larger and darker nipples, but I've even noticed a growth in that department which I wasn't expecting. I got new bras early on and simply went up to a 36 C or D with the loosest straps to compensate for the extra fullness. 

People have been commenting on my boobs a lot. To me they don't look much different, especially with my big ol bump. My SO hasn't mentioned them at all. Its almost like now that I'm pregnant people just feel okay to talk about my boobs. "Your boobs are looking great" or "You're really filling out. Your bosom is bursting" are comments I've received. People keep saying "Your boobs are getting bigger and bigger" when they've stayed the same size as far as I can tell since the first initial growth. It is sort of weird to be honest. Before pregnancy no one really mentioned my boobs, now people are very aware of their presence and even my closest female friends eye them up when I enter a room. They are sweaty things that catch the crumbs of my supposed-to-be-a-secret snacks - and everyone loves them. 

So either my wide torso is hiding the truth from me and my boobs are much larger or maybe when you're pregnant your body just becomes a topic that can be thrown around with ease... but honestly they aren't much different to me. (Although I HAVE noticed some boob fat that got lost and found it's place in my armpit area which is really killing my vibe these days). 

AmandaNacora

I was a 40 H before becoming pregnant, I haven't been measured again so they aren't growing very much just a lot heavier! But with the heavy came the droopy! I feel like they hang down to my belly button haha! Hubby thinks they are bigger so I'm going to go get a new bra soon but man I'm not enjoying this my shoulders are killing me if after breastfeeding they still droop a lot I may just get they lifted and possible a reduction, tired of not finding cute bras in my size.

AmandaNacora

Oh and definitely not loving the new nips! Sore huge and dark! I'm sporting saucers now haha. My husband likes to poke fun, but I know he really doesn't mind, he's always touching my boobs haha.

cait040415

Right here with all you boob haters. I was a 38 DD pre-pregnancy, and I'm still wearing those bras but probably shouldn't be!!!! I'm sure I've gone up a cup size (at least) but I'm afraid I'll cry when they tell me what I really am!!! Lol I went through like a two cup growth spurt in high school and my boobs have been the bane of my existence since I have saggy cones, too. Since pregnancy they are still the same, just fuller at times, and freakishly veiny! I call them my Hulk boobs. I noticed some clear fluid leaking out today too. I'm hoping when it comes time to breastfeed, I'll start finally liking them for their ability to feed my sweet baby!

blg13

Only way to describe mine would be a quote from the movie "The Other Woman". My nipples look like they have done hard time in Aftica feeding a village!
They are huge, painful, engorged feeling. Nipples are swollen and elongated, always poking out of my clothes. Gone up 3 bra sizes, plus I developed and itchy rash all over them that has been a terrible thing to deal with. Prednisone, steroid creams, Benadryl round the clock, scratching and can't sleep. Just want to cut them off! Hoping though that I'll produce a ton of milk after going through all of this

Mine are bigger but I am still the same cup - D. I got a few DD bras but right now my boobs are swimming in them. And the DD bras kind of scare me with their size. Like some kind of a cup beast that I have to tame.
Honestly I don't want them to be bigger. I like my Ds just the way they are.
