s/o FFFC--pregnancy and boobs

triumphantreturnofplanningbug · May 2010

If you remember, how many cup sizes did you go up before baby was born?

How many more after?

I'm getting a bit frightened here. I've already gone from a C to a DD (but I couldn't deal with that, so I just bought a band size larger in a D) in 14 weeks of pregnancy. Will this slow down, or am I just going to be dealing with 16 sets of hook and eye before November?

I went from almost B to C before DS was born. Now I'm a solid D. One mor reason I'll be a little sad to wean. Lol

I don't remember when it happened, but I only went up a cup size. (except for when my milk came in when I didn't try to wear anything but a nursing tank).

Before Monkey = 36C

During Monkey = 36DD

After Monkey = 38H

2 years after I stopped nursing = 36DD

Now = 36/34D

By 13 weeks pg with DS I went from a D to a G. When he arrived and I went up to a J. Now after baby girls' arrival I'm up to an L. ::sigh:: One day in the far future my body will be mine again and I can get a reduction and tuck to put the girls back into place again.

I was a 34C when I got pregnant, and went up to a 36DD while pregnant and nursing. I'm a 36D now, still 10lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight.

Before: 36C

During: 36DD

While BF: 36F or 34G (depended on the bra)

After BF: 36C

I don't remember the full progression but I was a 36B before I got pregnant with Noel and according to breakout bras I'm a 36H now. My breasts never got smaller after I finished nursing him either and definitely got bigger again when I became pregnant with Ariel (although these were pretty close together).

Now before you panic, before I measured myself with bb instructions I considered myself a 40D so only up two cup sizes compared to what I thought I was before (I'm betting if I'd measured myself according to bb that I would not have been a 36B)

i went from a 42DDD to a 44H during pregnancy, then i went to a 44J when my milk came in. now i'm back down to a DDD (at least i think so)

LoveInCowboyBoots · May 2010

I was a solid B before getting pregnant and went up to a C while pregnant. I stayed a C through the first 2 months or so and then I'm down to barely a B (still BFing DD now and 5 wks pg). Blech. Boobs suck.

Hippinski · May 2010

Can I also point out that at least for me the cup size has a lot less to do with my boob issues after having kids. It's the flat, saggy and looking for a margarita in Mexico boobs that make me sad. Before they were perky and pretty and perfect. I miss my boobs.

pixy_stix · May 2010

Before: 36C

During: 38D (and still growing)

After: I'm scared.

I will have to agree with this. I don't even HAVE boobs and my lack of boobage is still like two sad, flat pancakes.

lytedark · May 2010

i was wearing a 34B pre-pg. then went up to a 36C at some point. i did the breakout bras measuring and they thought i should be wearing a 38D at this point. i have not tested this theory because a.) i've given up wearing bras and just wear cami's with the shelf bra at this point for comfort and b.) because they look SO DANG BIG that i can't possibly see how that would fit me. i think it was a mistake. lol.

as for when the milk comes in - yeah i'm a bit scared myself.

I also agree although I don't think I ever had perky perfect ones but I would certainly take the pre-baby ones back imperfect and all!

A friend of mine used to say that she just rolled them up and stuffed 'em into her bra when discussing the joy of pp breasts. I must say, though, I have thus far avoided the flat boob syndrome. Or perhaps I'm fooling myself, which is just fine, too.

Thankfully I don't have this issue either. They're not quite the same, but I have noticed that like a year out from nursing they are pretty close.

I stopped growing around 12 weeks then it restarted around 16. I feel your pain. I need to go up a size but I'm just too stubborn. Wireless is my friend.

Laroogirl · May 2010

I was a 32/34D before DS-A nice full, perky 34D.

During pregnancy and nursing-34DD

After I weaned-34C/small D

Now pregnant again-34/36DD- I did not really grow with my milk coming in-just became fuller.
