And did they shrink after?

Mine already feel like they have doubled 😭

A to a D and now stablised at a B!

From a C to an F. Absolutely huge for me, bloody hated them, I felt like my arms wouldn’t lie flat to my sides.
They did go back down to a C again, but nowhere near as perky.

No change. Even with twins.

I was D to begin with. Went to E when pregnant and breastfeeding. Now A after 5 years of pregnancy and breastfeeding pretty much non stop (3 kids). I don't think they will recover, it's been 2 years since I stopped breastfeeding.

No change. Small before, small during and stayed small when breastfeeding Sad

I didn't even bother to wear a bra when breastfeeding.

Last time, they didn't grow at all. This time, they're a bit bigger at 18 weeks but not enough to go up a bra size.

georgarina · 08/03/2021 21:36

*When bfing they got huge though lol

I was always big, like DD. But when I was BFing, they went too big for my local bra shop to come close. This was back in the mid-80s when there wasn't much available.

I think this is a pretty accurate depiction of what happened to my boobs before, during and after pregnancy and breastfeeding www.instagram.com/reel/CLueHGOJgPF/?igshid=11pa6gji1tit3
Mine went up (no idea to what size) and then went back to kind of their original size, but I still haven’t been able to go back to underwires. Too uncomfortable

I went 32D to 34DD once milk was in.
I’m still BF 17 months in but now wearing a 34D. I’m not sure my ribcage will go back to 32 though, so reckon I’ll be a 34C or thereabouts in the end, so sister size to what I was.

I put on very little weight, just over a stone and was below pre pregnancy weight in about 6 weeks (I had GD and controlled it with strict diet which is why I didn’t gain). I basically only gained the weight of baby plus placenta and fluid. Just shows what low carb can do!

Mine were a 34H pre-pregnancy, no idea during pregnancy and after - I was absolutely skint and just wore the same bras even though I had serious double boob, as couldn't afford new ones. BF for 14 months and now DD is 3 and I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight, boobs are a 32J. So quite similar really. I actually like my post-baby boobs better.

tinkerbellvspredator · 08/03/2021 21:52

28D to 30G then down to 28E. So a bit bigger than before, but my weight is lower than pre pregnancy so not because of weight gain

OhWhyNot · 08/03/2021 21:52

I was an 32 F I went to a 32 G

They looked bigger as so pushed up but they didn’t get that much bigger and I didn’t produce that much milk (not enough milk)

I think I've went up a cup size but hard to tell, might be two, as can't get a proper bra fitting during lockdown!!
