Breast size after birth and nursing

tiffyspiffy1012

This is my first pregnancy (yeah!) and my breasts have already expanded 1.5-2 cup sizes.  Do any of you know if they'll shrink back to their pre-pregnancy size after birth and nursing have finished??  Or will they be forever larger?!?!

I started out a 32A, and increased to a 34C while nursing/pg.  I nursed for 14 months, and as I weaned DS, they slowly went back to their original size.  I missed them!!!  Happy to have them growing again

I think it's more common for them to shrink back, and sometimes even smaller, but I do know two people that never went back down in size.

I started at a DD, and I'm currently on my way to a solid F. I'm praying that these babies go back down when I'm done nursing, but from my family's history, that won't happen.

I have also gone up 1.5-2 cup sizes and I started at a 34DD! I am hoping that they get smaller than thier original size after birth and breast feeding like my moms did.

Mine would go up about 2 sizes when nursing and progressively get smaller.  Now when I'm not pregnant they are smaller than they were pre-pregnancy.  I started as a 34B so I am not too happy about the shrinkage afterwards.

My breasts never fully went back down in size.  I was permanently a cup size larger, which stinks because I was big to begin with.

Oh my gosh, I hope mine don't become smaller than before pregnancy! I was a AA (now a full A, GO ME!). I grew to accept my small BB's but gosh anything smaller would be awful!

over the course of 3 pregnancies in 3 years, my mom's breasts went from an A to a C and stayed there. I didn't fare so well..I went from a 34A/B prepregnancy to a 36C by the time I was nursing. When I weaned DS, they went to a 34A This time I'm up to a 36B so far woohoo!

with DD i went up 2 cup sizes during pregnancy, then i went down a cup size while nursing (after a few months), and then down 2 more cup sizes when i done weaning. i lost some additional weight too so that might have added to the 2 cup size loss but still, they went back to pre-pregnancy size after nursing. i wont say "back to normal" since they were sadly deflated but on the bright side, they are filling back in now!

Mine went back to their original size.. only less pretty after nursing.

Before DD I was an 34A.  About 1 month before delivering DD, I was wearing a 34D....it was a moment of hysterical laughing for me in a Destination Maternity dressing room.  They stayed 34D until I was done nursing and then they went back to the 34A....much to DH's disappointment.

Mine never got that big during the first pregnancy, just pretty full.  While BFing, again not too crazy.  After BFing (for 1 year) they were sad, sad, lil deflated things.  With this pregnancy they are almost to their fullness pre-babies.  I am not ashamed to say after BFing this one (presuming it will indeed be our last) I will be looking to surgery to bring back the bewbies.

Mine have already started getting stretch marks although they have not even gotten much bigger.

Mine slowly shrank down to a little smaller than they were pre-pregnancy. It wasn't a dramatic difference, but I could tell.
