a little bummed....anyone else?

Today I noticed some new stretch marks on my breasts!! I managed to escape without any bad damage on my tummy but I think that maybe the engorgement of when I am full has stretched out my boobs recently- I didn't have these marks during or right after pregnancy so I am blaming it on the breastfeeding... I know that it is all worth it to feed my son what is best for him but I got a little bummed when I discovered this just now :( Anyone else????? I don't think they are going to be anywhere close to what they were pre pregnancy... all this milking is taking a toll and its only been 5 weeks!! I wonder how long I can keep up with my little chubber- hes been wanting 4 oz. every 2 hours! I need him to slow down!

    I'm in the same boat, a few stretch marks on my hips, nothing on my stomach but - ack - my boobs!!!  It's not really that bad, not dark purple or huge or anything but my girls were my best feature... OH well!!  It was worth it for DS!!

    Ugh, I have major boob stretch marks! I have one stretch mark that's about a half inch long on my belly, but my boobs got covered in them while I was still pregnant. I didn't realize how much I loved my boobs before! So sad, but so worth it...

    I could have written this exact post except change 5 weeks to 6 weeks and 2 hours to 3-4 hours! I escaped stretchmarks until 4.5 weeks and then they magically appeared on my breasts. So depressing!

    You would have gotten them regardless of breastfeeding. They got larger during pregnancy and when your milk came in.

    I've had boob stretch marks since puberty - it is such a bummer.

    I just got boob stretch marks about a week and a half ago. :( I had escaped any pregnancy stretch marks until these. Ugh, I really liked my boobs before and now they're going to be all saggy and striped. It's mostly on the lower half so I don't think it will show in a swim suit, maybe just a little in the middle. So sad though, and yes, worth it to give BM to LO, but you can't exercise strech marks away like I hopefully can with my belly and hips...
