Boobs after BF

MaebbMaebb member
in November 2012 Moms
This is maybe a question for 2nd time moms or people who have already weaned.

I hear that after you wean, some people's boobs stay bigger than before pregnancy, some go back to the same, and some get smaller.

What did yours do, and what should I expect? I am BF now, but I went from a small B to a full B size. My boobs didn't grow too much, and there aren't stretch marks, so maybe that means they won't deflate much after? I know this probably seems like a really vain and shallow question, but my boobs were already small, and I'm hoping they're not going to get smaller!

    It's not vain or shallow. It's hard when our bodies change in ways we didn't expect! I was small before with about a 34B. Breastfeeding boobs were about a 38C. Now I'm back to a what I was before with maybe a little extra but they definitely aren't as perky. It's a bummer. I do have stretch marks. You never know what your body will do though. My mom said hers went back to pre preggie boobs, while my sister said hers stayed with her. So who knows!

    I really hope mine either go back to the size they were or get smaller.  I was a 34D/borderline DD before I was pregnant and even then I always felt they were too big for me.  I've never been able to go bra-less, so I'm not too worried about sag if they get smaller...a good bra will fix that haha.

    Nessie, I'd gladly take some of your boob size. If only we could split the difference! Ha!

    Ugh, I might just keep pumping forever if it means I get to keep eating extra calories and having perkier boobs.  I've always had too-large "pendulous" breasts, and I'm sure they'll get worse after I wean. Pre-preg I (thought I) was a 36F, now based on learning a bit more about how bras are SUPPOSED to fit (thank you https://www.breakoutbras.com/sizing) I think I'm a 34H.  Planning to go get fitted for a proper nursing bra soon (been living in tank-tops), but I'm dreading how expensive it's going to be.

    Aaaaahhhhhhh, boobs..

    Before DD I was almost an A. While pregnant, a large C, small D. During BF I was a FULL Double D.  I BF til 10.5 months. They went back to an A, some bras a B. (underwire with push up and padding, which made me look like a C)

    So I started at an A again, up to a C during pregnancy, and DD during BF.  I plan (hope) to BF for 1 year.

    DH suggests I keep BF longer... Or pump... Or get pregnant again. Lol.  But he met me with A's and he will be fine if they go back to A's.

    I got fitted at Nordstrom by this very knowledgeable no nonsense Russian lady and I am actually 32c which is basically equivalent to 34a but now I'm more comfortable!

    Prebaby, I was a 36 DD.

    During pregnancy with DD 1.0, I was an F.

    During bfing, I was a G, probably should have gone with a GG or an H.

    Post baby,  i I stayed around an F. Sad sagging boobies.

    Second pregnancy, my boobs got fuller, but not bigger.

    Breastfeeding this time, they got even bigger. I haven't had a proper bra fitting or even bought new nursing bras. I have been doing the tuck and shove and wear layers. At home, I just don't wear bras.

    Somewhere in there, I went up a band size to accommodate cup size for a particular type of nursing bra.

    PS- I'm getting the "mommy make over" when I'm done building my Duggar empire. I want a nice full c cup like I had in the 4th grade.

    I was a small B prebaby and during pregnancy. Got a little bigger while I was pumping but I never bought new bras and now they are an even smaller B. I need to go in and get fitted.

    I would be up for that! I don't think H would be too happy if that was possible though haha.

    This whole post makes me giggle! I seriously went from a 36B to a 36C while prego and Bfing. After #1 I was literally flat as a board, I looked like a 12 year old boy! My hubby joked about "time for #2 so we can get your shape back"...soon thereafter I was prego again haha! So anyway, yes it totally depends on your body and it is perfectly normal to have objections to some of those changes! I sure did! Victoria Secret told me I would be a 36AA...LMAO...CLASSIC
