EBF mamas

nikinikinine

Sorry to ask a personal ? like this, but I don't know anyone IRLthat BF'd twins/trips. Okay so here goes, did your boobs get enormous? I went from a 34C to a 32G. I'm struggling to find bras that fit. I just ordered a bunch online and I'm praying 1 or 2 work.

If you've weaned already did they shrink back down to your pre-pg size? I packed up my old bras this morning and laughed at how "small" they were. I'm praying this size I am now is just temporary. I feel very self-conscious!

Yes, they are giant.  I started out big - 34D - and they are now 36E.  They're honestly enormous, but it is still worth it   I can't answer your other question because I haven't weaned yet, but I don't envision things being very pretty once we're through...

Haha.  MH actually commented this weekend that he missed my old boobs...as in, my BFing boobs...thanks, buddy.  I started weaning at 6 months, and am currently down to just one feeding/day, and they're now back to normal, pre-preg size.  Kind of squishy-er than they were before...oh well.  That's the price I have to pay!

I went from 36B to 40D. I am hoping they will go back to pre pregnancy boobs after I wean. I am planning to wean in two months, so we will see.

I've gone up a couple cup sizes.  I did w/ O too, but they deflated. Actually, theyre already more deflated than they were w o. Maybe a 2nd kid thing?

I'm loving my big boobs. I'm a 36B and now I'm a 36D. DH loves 'em too I will definitely mourn the loss when they wean.

With my son I went from a B to a C, and then back to a B after finishing nursing (Actually, even while nursing once my son was more on a consistent schedule and STTN they started to go down a bit).

 With the triplets, I'm only 20w pregnant and I've already gone from a B to a D.... and no milk yet!! I'm terrified! lol. Of course DH LOVES that they're bigger, but I can hardly let him even enjoy it because they're sore all the time!

I haven't had my twins yet but I BF my son for 14 months.  I went from a DDD to a G when my milk came in!  After weaning, and also losing some weight I was down to a DD and they didn't seem deflated or anything so I was happy about that!  We'll see how it goes after the twins use and abuse them

It's impossible to find larger sizes in the store, just get measured at the store, I reccomend being measured by more then one person and get measured when your breasts are full of milk.  Google plus size maternity or plus size nursing bras and you will find some sites that carry larger cup sizes.

I went from a C cup to an E cup with DS1 and then after I weaned I was DD.  I have remained a DD with the twins and don't think that they will get any smaller once I wean.

Yes, my breasts definitely grew A LOT.  I weaned at about 26 months, and sadly they shrunk up and ended up smaller than when i started

Btw, a store near me carries more sizes than I knew existed. Try googling Bosom Buddies. It's all nursing bras

Pre-pregnancy I wore 32DD. Already a PITA to shop for. About two months into nursing I went and got fitted for nursing bras and they gave me 32Hs and 32Is. And then the boobs grew even more. I refused to buy more $60 nursing bras, so I just coped with the too-small Hs and Is.

I weaned away my last nursing session about a month ago (in other words, I'm not nursing or pumping at all anymore), and my 32Hs and 32Is are still too small. I'm not thrilled.

Probably not what you wanted to hear.

Nordstrom does a good job fitting odd bra sizes. If you don't have one near you and need to order online anyway, I loved this place: https://www.lindasonline.com/store-locator.html

SO not what I wanted to hear. OMG. I feel bad for you hon. My G's are enough to make me cry. I can't imagine. I'm able to fit into all of my pants right now, but none of my tops. It sucks. And I feel really embarassed about how big they are. Too uncomfortable for words.

Thanks for the rec!

I have not yet weaned but am almost back in my old bras.  Pre-pregnancy I was a 34D, then went to a 36DD during pregnancy, then a 38F when my milk came in... then dropped down.  I was a 34DD for a while, but just put my 34Ds back on again.  Lefty spills out over the top, but lefty has always been bigger.  

I anticipate I'll fit back in my old bras again after weaning, but my boobs are soooo saggy (sorry if that's embarrassing).  My husband has started looking at room in the budget for a breast lift. 

babydontforget

Yeah, it sucks. *Nothing* fits.

not embarrassing at all! I appreciate your honesty! 

I keep looking at my PP body and wondering if I have big enough balls to go through with surgery after we're done having kids. I told DH that I want to wait until September (9 months PP) to decide. I figure 9 months in 9 months out. Lord help me. 

MrsDonnelly2007

I went from a B to a C and I'm almost done weaning them, they're down to the bedtime nursing session.  I thought I'd get bigger, not sure where I stored all this milk for the two! I'm very scared for the aftermath but of course it's worth it!
