Speaking of breastfeeding - my boobs haven't grown at all

I'm a STM, but I didn't have  tremendous amount of milk the first time and I pumped exclusively because DD wouldn't latch on. Anyway, I don't recall when it really comes in.

Re: Speaking of breastfeeding - my boobs haven't grown at all

  • My boobs never grew with dd and i never got milk. Im hoping that bc they got so big this time that means i will be getting milk... but ive read there is little correlation between breast growth and milk production.

  • There really is no boob size/milk supply correlation, sadly. But your milk usually comes in 2-3 days after birth unless for some reason you lactate before. That happens to some women towards the end of their pregnancy but has not happened to me.

    You can have mine! I'll share! Please! Although DH doesn't mind, they are a bit larger than I think any woman needs.

    Pre.pregnancy, pre my first pregnancy, I was a 36DDD... now I'm a 38J. I've been wearing my nursing bra from my second baby for the past month or so as none of my normal bras fit anymore... and the specialty store where I got these nursing bras doesn't have any bigger cup sizes!

    The hardest part, for me, is that I have a relatively narrow ribcage measurement with large boobs... most large breasts come with large ribcages, or apparently that's what bra manufacturers think.

    I just laughed and laughed when I heard a plastic surgery commercial on the radio the other day... a woman had 3 children, and her breasts just kept getting smaller and smaller with each one. IRL, I do know one person that happened to, but I definitely didn't think it was the norm!

  • I thought I was the only one!! If my boobs have grown any, it's only a very slight amount - I'm still wearing the same pre-pregnancy bras no problem. For the past 8 months I keep looking down my shirt expecting to finally have some boobies, but no, nada. Being a small B all my life I was excited to think about having big boobs for at least a little while!

    I don't plan on breastfeeding, so I'll try the cabbage trick to make sure my milk doesn't fully come in/dries up. 

    My only consoling thought about not having the crazy boob growth is that I shouldn't have that post-pregnancy/post-breastfeeding sag. They may be small but I hope I can keep them perky! LOL
