kind of a weird question - did your boobs shrink after giving birth?

ILoveRedVino

I went through labor and delivery even though we were on the earlier side (20w).  Milk did come in a few days later.

Now, 10-ish weeks later, my boobs are down about a cup size and a half (from small C to big A) from pre-pregnancy.  My weight is the same as pre-pregnancy.  Has this happened to anyone else?

No, but my boobs couldn't get much smaller! I was barely a B pre-pregnancy

I think it really depends on genetics. With both pregnancies, I was up 2 cup sizes when milk came in, but went right back to pre-pregnancy cup size when milk dried up. Of course I have heard of plenty other women that keep their enhanced breasts after pregnancy. I was not that lucky

With my first, I grew a cup size during pregnancy, and they stayed that way. This time, I went up almost two cup sizes during pregnancy/when my milk came in, but I went back down to my normal size [the size I was at after having my first] once the milk dried up.

I do have friends who lost almost a cup size after having babies, too.

I've heard it could happen but it didn't to me.  I'm much bigger than I was before.

Mine changed a lot, not exactly in size but in shape. My bras fit but they look smaller to me. They look a little "deflated" now but not too bad.

I'm pretty small anyway (a small B cup) I think now I fill out a B, but I'm also still up like 15lbs.

Yes, mine did. They shrunk back down to my pre-pg size after DD was born. I lost my son around when you did (22w4d) and my milk came in as well. After that was over with my boobs were pretty much nonexistent, even smaller than ever before. It felt like just another insult.

Not so much shrink as sag. See, I'm fat so they're still a good sz. but more weirdly shaped and saggy now.

I am glad you asked this.  I was a B when I got pregnant and almost immediately went up one cup size and was up to a very full D when Zachary was born. I am now down to a C and really need to buy new bras - but have been waiting in case the shrinking continues.
