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

Elf1981 · 12/03/2006 13:40

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).

1st - 34DD before
34F feeding
34E after

2nd 34E
36F preg 36G feeding initially now
34F and still feeding at 13mths.
Am also hoping that they will end up a little smaller, but know that they will also be lacking in 'substance' IYKWIM - attractive...............

I loved my size while BF, there is a photo of me bending over dd1 after she left SBCU and you can't see my face, just my chest, and my mum thought it was my sister because I have no boobs and they were huge when I was BF pmsl!!

Don't know what happened. Quite hard to get bras to fit.

Mfer · 13/03/2006 12:36

Before 32DD

During 34 J ( yes really!!)

After 32DD bit saggy!!!

LeahE · 13/03/2006 12:42

Before pg 36C
Once pg 38D
Still 38D in late pg and early breastfeeding

I'm still breastfeeding (DS is 14 months) but only twice a day and have lost some weight -- the 38Ds aren't quite right any more so I am guessing I'm something like 36D (but haven't checked properly as I am trying to gradually lose more weight and am too stingy to splash out on in-between sizes if I can get away without).

lahdeedah · 13/03/2006 12:45

Before PG - 38D
PG - 40DD
BF (9 months) - 38E
Now - 38D

Although I've gone back to the same size, my boobs hang a bit lower!! so I have invested in some nice new extra supportive bras and feel like my old self again!! Smile

blueshoes · 13/03/2006 13:15

I would mention that I am lighter now than pre-pregnancy. That is due to the rigors of childcare.

FrayedKnot · 13/03/2006 14:22

I have gone back to a cup size below my old "normal" size. They look like spaniels ears atm.

Someone somewhere once posted that they do grow back eventually - lol!

I stopped BF 6 months ago & no sign yet unfortunately.

Thank god for padded bras!

Tutter · 13/03/2006 14:36

Pre-pregnancy: 34B or 36A
Started breastfeeding: 34D
...slowly dropped through the cup sizes as I dropped feeds...
Now 36A again, but with the spaniels ears look someone else mentioned Sad

Tutter · 13/03/2006 14:37

sorry FK - didn't have to look far for the spanils ears ref!
