Let's talk about the girl, shall we?

Let's get real, I don't know yours but my body is definitely NOT the same it used to be. I'm suffering from the mom-butt (read flat) and the girls, oh my poor girls! I went shopping for swimsuits and I could not find a bikini top that would keep the girls supported! Nothing! I went shopping for bras and nothing felt like gave me enough support. Want to hear something funny? I tried on a dress and I realized small dresses are made for small boobs, on my pre-baby days I would have wore it sans bra...ha ha not anymore!

I'm tired of maternity bras but it might not be wise to go to Victoria's Secret until I'm done BFing, right? Talk to me about your body woes, I know I'm not the only one! Oh and can you recommend a bra/bikini top that provides lots of support!

    Oh I how I miss my 'pre baby body'.. You can't even pay me to go anywhere near the swim suit section. I RUN!! I'm starting to think I'll never be able to get back to where I was before. I love my DD more than anything but I'd like to thank her for this new body. I love my new found 'girls' but I think all my baby weight has settled in my hips/thighs.

    Ahhh.. gotta love it.

    Mine have underwire but that's besides the point... How do you BF with a normal bra??? The concept seems foreign to me :s lol I pull shirt up and pull bra flap down but with a regular bra I don't know how...would it be too much to ask you to post an instructional video? Lol I didn't want to get new fancy bras because I don't know what size I'll be since I'm bigger than before but smaller than the early weeks post partum.

    Check out two piece suits by 2Bamboo.  They are seriously the only brand I can wear now that I've had kids (I loved them before DD, but now I have to wear them).  Triangle bikini tops are forever out for me, unless I get some cosmetic surgery done :)

    I *almost* wish I had woas about "the girls." My barely 32A's will always be able to fit into a swimsuit. I have a problem with finding a swimsuit that will fit my small chest and flabby belly. Even though I'm 10 lbs under my PP weight (at my high school weight, and I was pretty thin), I still have a flabby belly that will never see the sunlight again. It's one piece swim suits for this chica! Any ideas where to get a super cute, non-mommy, one piece swimsuit?!

    This for sure. I always thought the girls would get bigger with BF, but I haven't even gone up a cup size. It's more like I actually fill out my bra now. Lol.

    I have two cute suits both from Target, although one was last season.  The one from this season has a halter tie, rouching on the sides and is almost like a short dress. It's not my favorite, but I don't hate it, so it works.

    I hate my boobs now, they are huge and fat. They make me feel and looking bigger than I am. I always had big boobs but now they are just too much. I have also not been able to find a bra that fits just right. So I wear one bra that covers them, and another bra on top of that one that lifts them. Tongue TiedEmbarrassed

    I'd get one good bra while you're still nursing. One still needs to feel sexy SOMETIMES :)

    I call what's happened to my boobs "the pancakes". They are flat, floppy, and blagh.  Kind of what's going on with my belly area too. I'm fine with my butt, I have some "junk in the trunk" but I really need help with my thighs.

    Yep, I do the same thing. Cute nursing bras were FAR too expensive. I also just take her right out of the cup,

    I found an excellent bathing suit at kohls.  i was so shocked that it fit/i liked it that i bought it immediately ha.  i think it is chaps brand? but it kept the girls supported/looked cute and fit.  SCORE!
