Pregnant and breastfeeding - what is going to happen to my breasts?

[DitaVonCheese]

Evening all :)

Still bfing DD who is two-and-a-bit several times a day and pregnant, about 10 weeks I think. My boobs were huge when pg with DD and in the early days of bfing but have now shrunk back down to their pre-pg size. They don't seem to have got any bigger since getting pg this time round.

I am only asking because I am desperately in need of some new bras, but obviously don't want to splash out on more if my size is about to change again. All the ones I have at the moment are too big and grey and saggy and I would really like some which actually fit!

Any clues as to what my amazing rollercoaster bosoms might do next?

No idea, I'm afraid, but I loved the sound of amazing rollercoaster bosoms.

Congratulations on the pregnancy. :)

I was in the same boat as you back in 2008 when I got pregnant with my DS2. My DS was the same age as your DD is now.

I did buy new non-wired bras for my pregnancy, and they were the same size as my pre-pregnancy ones. I don't think they changed at all during my second pregnancy, but this might be due to the fact that I developed GD, adopted a strict diet and was actually lighter at 38 weeks than at 8 weeks pregnant.

Two years on I am still breastfeeding and my cup size is the one size smaller but the back size is 6 inches smaller than my first maternity bra.

Thanks Angels it was damned hard work

Cheers llareggub, that's useful. I have actually lost quite a lot of weight so far, mainly because I've been feeling so sick in the evenings and have completely lost my appetite, so I'm currently lighter than when I got pg the first time Who knew the quickest way to lose my baby weight would be got get pregnant again?!

Congrats, I also wonder this, but I only feed my daughter (2 years 3 months) once a day and to be honest I think my supply has dwindled.

I plan on buying Anita underwired maybe in two sizes when they start getting bigger. Which isn't quite yet (I'm about 8 weeks)

13 weeks today and they still haven't changed I'm feeding maybe 3-4 times a day but a lot of times now at least 2 of those are mere seconds (I think she just likes to latch on to hear me squeal ) and sometimes it's just mornings and evenings now.

Anyone know if my nipples are going to get any less sore?

Congrats :)

I'm 34-ish weeks and BF 2.3 yo DD. My boobs went up to about the same size as they did when I was expecting DD, perhaps a little bigger. It's been quite recent, I was in my normal bras for the first 3 or 4 months of this pregnancy. I think they've doubled in size in the last week actually

They had gone back to my normal pre-pregnancy size before I got pregnant.

Thanks :)
