Parenting after a Loss

BFing mamas: a question about THE GIRLS

When you wean, do they return to their "normal" size? I've gone up two cup sizes, and as much as DH loves it, I do not. Most of my pre-pregnancy tops don't fit, and I feel like Boobzilla.

Re: BFing mamas: a question about THE GIRLS

  • Mine stayed up a size. Unfortunately.

    ETA: But I was pregnant again shortly after weaning, then either m/c or pregnant pretty much since then. So they didn't really have a fair chance to go all the way back down.

  • I feel like they are smaller than they were prepreg, but all my bras still fit. I think their shape changed more than their size did.

  • I think mine got a little deflated and smaller. Though I only measures myself. My band size was about the same, maybe a little bigger but my cup size was about half a cup to one cup smaller.

    this. From 36C/D to 38G(preg and BF) to 38D, now three months post weaning. I want a boob lift.

  • Yea, a lot of my tops are too short now.  My mom said her girls were smaller and saggier for a while, but then about three years after her last child they returned to normal.  My PCP said some women produce milk up to 5 yrs after weaning, so some girls need more time to return to their previous state.  My sister went down a cup size (from A to AA) and wasn't about to wait five years so had a boob job.  I weaned only a month ago so am not sure what my fate will be.  I am over 40, so sag was in my near future anyhow.
