11 months in to bf and without a doubt that's what my boobs look like :-( I was a 34c and quite 'full' before pregnancy. I hate how they look now.

Is there any chance they will change or is that my lot now?

Sad

I gather that after you stop, your boobs change again. At the moment, fat deposits have made way for the milk, so fingers crossed they bounce back again!

I refer to mine as slices of ham with nipples...

It's the pregnancy that does it, not the breastfeeding allegedly. I can't see mine ever returning to fullness, and they were pretty much like tennis balls in socks before DS.

I was just trying on some of my pre pg/bf bras - I have never felt so depressed! There is just a massive gap where before there was a nice pert boob!

They come back. When I stopped BF about 18 months ago I had almost nothing left. But they have filled out again gradually, I'm the same size as before now or maybe a bit bigger because I've put on weight lately.

Pregnancy certainly causes them to lose some of their perkiness though, and that doesn't recover sadly.

I feel the same....I completely get why women have boob jobs now.

They may never be quite the same again but they recover to a degree. I am normally a 36c and quite a small c. I go up to D in bf bras and yes, they are a bit droopy when wind it down but they recovered from my 2 previous pregnancies and subsequent bfing in around 6 months I reckon.

I'm the opposite of you I want my bee stung tits back not these enormous things. I hate having a big chest - none of my old tight little tops quite fit properly :( Oh well, another 6 or so months to go!

Mine look the same as before I was pregnant, just a tiny bit bigger. Sorry. Blush

Mine also look the same as before DS' pregnancy, but 3 cup sizes bigger, probably at least partly due to weight change though I was an A cup before. They did sort of spring back up a bit once I stopped BFing completely though.

Splash out on a couple of really nice bras if you can afford to, get a lady in a big department store to fit you (into the actual bra, not with a tape measure BTW). I couldn't be doing without good old Triumph these days....

Probably should explain, reading that back - they were a bit on the spaniel's ear side, then, too! That wasn't a boast....
