Poll for mothers who breastfed... what was your bra size before, during and after??

[Elf1981]

I had my boobs measured last week. I had been wearing mothercare nursing bras but found they offered little support so I got measured at John Lewis.
I used to be a 36B or 36C depending on the shop, but when I was measured I was a 38F!!! (My DD is 5 months old btw).

So, I just thought I'd start a quick poll so that I could get a gathering as to what size my boobs will be when I finish breastfeeding! (No immediate plans, I am hoping to go til she's 1 1/2 - 2 depending on how it all goes).

not much help i'm afraid, used to be a 34c, 38dd when bf but as i was preg when i finished bf still have no idea what they'll go back to. most people have told me they go back to what they were before but that said none of those people bf for more than a week or 2! sorry i'm useless!

Ummm, well, if you're anything like me, you'll be getting out the magnifying glass. I was 36B before feeding and went up to a very respectable D-cup whilst pg/feeding.

However, I gave up bf 12+ months ago and my breasts currently languish in the Where Are They Now? file. Possibly not what you wanted to hear?

Eve2005 - not useless!
Snafu - I'd prefer to go to my usual size so that I dont have to throw away all my pre pregnancy / feeding bras!!

34B, 34DD (pathetic, I know), 34B

Mine are currently around where they were before I got pregnant, and I haven't finished breastfeeding yet :(

Extended breastfeeding does have many benefits but the effect on your norks is not one of them.

1st time 34e/38G/34f
2nd time 34f/38J/?

As long as they go down a little bit, I cant believe they're an F!!

before pg was 38d,whilst pg went to a 36dd (i lost weight whilst pg but by boobs got bigger!!) am bf 19 month old and my boobs have just got bigger and bigger!am sure they will pop one day!(am now a whopping,back breaking 38h!!!!) as want small boobies!!!

A cup before bf. Approx C cup now, during bf (I very rarely wear a bra, not even atm, but when I tried on a nursing bra a C cup seemed to fit).

oh my god katz,yours are bigger tahn mine!

Before 34D
Pregnant 36D
Breastfeeding 36E
Afterwards (breastfed for @9 months) 36D/36C or stretchy 34D bras, couldn't afford new ones!

My breast size NEVER changed. Ever. During pregnancy, after pregnancy, nursing, bottlefeeding, etc.

36D before feeding
40 DD when pregnant
38 DD Nursing bras
36 C now - yes they have definitley shrunk!

My mil (who has b cup boobs) says her lack of boobs is all down to feeding.

36A
Not a clue but I guess 36C atm
Usually return to 36A afterwards

(wish they'd stay this size )

38 DD before - same now after 20 months of bf -funnily enough my bra size now matches my age.

So I now act my bra size, not my shoe size

A fairly pert 36DD pre bfing

Now a saggy, and oddly shaped 36F

Last time... 34DD... 34DD... deflated looking 34C - then went on pill again and went to 34F

Now... 34F... 34E-F (2 n a bit weeks into feeding)... worried about the final outcome as I am planning on non-hormoney coil and suspect that I only lost deflated look last time with the help of pill hormones.

34b - 36d - 34b

This time

34b - 36d and really hope I go back to 34b again even if it's not quite so pert!

Reading this thread makes my milk come in - ouch

I was 36B before
went up to 38F
went down to 38DD after
still 38D 7 years later.
I wear a white coat at work, when I returned from a years mat.leave,I just couldn't do my coats up over my chest anymore.My main boss refused to buy me more,so my line manager told me to go to his office,shove them in his face and demand to know what I should do,as I didn't comply to Health and Safety regulations.He was so embarrassed he wrote an order straight away

Oh, fogot to add,that I did bf twins so that may have had an effect

was 36c before

42DD during

NOW 42G

these lumps of lard need to go

at your boss jac!

32A before and after both times (very cheap, as I wear childrens trainer bras/none at all!)
34-36C when pregnant
Bigger now (2 weeks into bf no 3) but no idea how big, as not measured properly yet.Guessing at 36C/D.
