Moms of new outside babies: hourly boob size changes?

I can barely remember yesterday let alone 2 years ago when DD was a newborn. So I'm hoping you ladies can help me. How much does your breast size vary from hour to hour during the day? I ask bc I'll be a bridesmaid in a wedding at 4-5 weeks post partum and the dresses are strapless with those little optional spaghetti straps. I'm trying to figure out if the dress would stay up without the spaghetti straps or if I would be worried about it falling off the whole time (or busting out of it, if it's been too long since nursing...)...thoughts?

Re: Moms of new outside babies: hourly boob size changes?

  • I was just in a wedding and haven't had my baby yet so I can't speak to the hourly changes. What I can say is prior to the ceromony the dress was fine without the straps, I saw some pictures of me from the end of the night and can't believe how much I hanging out of it! I'm shocked I didn't show some accidental nipple in the photo booth pics!
    I would say go strapless for all the early pictures and maybe the ceremony but put the straps on later. I thought I was fine until I saw the reception pictures!

    @lisa1110, thanks! That's a great suggestion -- hadn't thought of that. I'll keep the straps with me in case I feel like things are "hanging out" a bit too much.
  • I'm only 5 days pp with my first, so maybe this changes but remember that you will leak. A. Lot. I'm leaking through pads even. So make sure you are able to wear something under the dress regardless of whether you choose the strapless or regular version. As for the original question I probably go 2 almost 3 cupsizes up and down. At their biggest they look ridiculous lol, 3 times LOs head.
