What happened to the after you finished breastfeeding?
Did they go up, down a size, get perkier or sag down to your knees?
Just curious as to whether I should bother keeping all my old bras in case I shrink back to my normal size or go and buy bigger ones now i have boobs the size of bloody footballs. I'm living in maternity bras at the moment

They were never exactly the same size but you wouldn't really notice. One made almost no milk the other a bit so after a year of bf the larger one is now noticeably larger. 7 yrs later, I doubt they will ever equalise.

Mine aren't really different now to pre-breastfeeding (lovely & round & perky whilst!) but I'm only an A cup so not much to go wrong luckily.

Still sometimes miss my pregnancy & breastfeeding boobs Blush

Mine were a 34DD before
Went up to a 36FF during
Are still a 36FF now!
BF for 9 months. Just the one.

They have definitely, er... relaxed a little since having a baby, but I'm relatively perky for such a big' un! But then I have always taken bra-wearing quite seriously.

Can I ask a question too! Sorry OP! Regardless of weight change, do boobs get bigger or smaller with the menopause. I heard they tend to get bigger but maybe due to weight gain?

Anyone not gained weight and able to say what happened to them at least?

I hope I stay a little bit bigger than my usual size. I was an A to start and when I went to get measured she said I was a DD. I nearly fell off my bloody chair. I got bullied all my teen life for having none and suddenly have these bloody huge ones.
Staying at a B/C would be nice. Just hoping for a miracle

Mine were like half deflated balloons after BF DD1. I struggled to find bras to fit as I couldn't fill the top half of the cup.
Now BF DD2 and it's nice to have proper boobs again! Dread to think what they'll be like once I've finished feeding her.

B cup before kids and perky
after 3 kids same as above.
add two more kids currently aged 4 and 2 plus 3 years on continuous breastfeeding i went to an F cup then to a DD after feeding now a D and saggy.

34B before pregnancy, now 32C. Really perky for about two years after stopping bf, but noticed a slight change this year after I turned 40.

32E pre and 32E post.

I queried this when getting measured (post) as I pointed out that there was now some space at the tops of the lace cups.

'No, you're the same size exactly. It's just that your volume is now at the bottom' came the reply.

Confused Glad I asked!

Mine are pretty much the same shape and size. They are about 50% areola now though which is delightful.

My cup size didnt alter during pregnancy and I only had slight 'fullness' when b/f.

My band size went up during pregnancy (how it does due to the ribcage getting bigger.. I bought new bras which were useless after as I went down to my pre-pregnancy size. I wish I had bought my original size and an expander while pg...but realise I was probably a bit odd not going up a cup size
