Post-baby boobs

[sagmeister]

God, they're awful. I'm 5 months postpartum and am ashamed.

I cannot believe how bloody saggy they are. Genuinely makes me want to cry. I know I'm being superficial and I am blessed with a healthy baby, but they're really getting me down.

There's no breast tissue left, it's just like a golf ball in a sock. I got my boobs measured the other day and the lady said that I've lost the fat in the top and they've gone south for good unless I put a lot of weight on. This is my fault entirely for being so greedy whilst pregnant and putting on 3 stone.

My boobs are just saggy skin now. I went from a 30E pre-baby to a 30F post-baby and losing a couple of stone.

I can't bear to be naked around DH anymore and let him nowhere near them.

There's nothing I can do, is there? I guess I have to live like this until I can afford a boob job.

AIBU to be feeling sorry for myself? I know I should be grateful, but I'm in my mid-20s but feel like I have the boobs of an 80 y/o.

Has anyone else been through this?

This is my fault entirely for being so greedy whilst pregnant and putting on 3 stone.

No it isn't, it is just an annoying side effect of having a baby, it is entirely luck whether you loose a lot of fat in your breasts or not. I put on less than a stone but I breastfed and similar happened to me. But after a while my breasts filled out again, not to the same size as before, I lost a cup size. Some of my friends ended up with a bigger bust after they had had a baby. Don't blame yourself for putting on weight just try to be healthy now.

Now weirdly at 47 my bust has suddenly got larger and filled out back to my original size. I haven't got any bigger anywhere else though. It took a while but it is nice to have them back. (I think it is a pre-menopausal enhancement by mother nature to tempt me (my partner?) to have a last baby (not happening!).
