Can you come and share with me in celebrating my fantastic tits please?

[fabsmum]

......... because I was 42 last week, they've done 5 YEARS of breastfeeding (finished in January) and they still look very nice indeed thank you!

My nipples are still in the centre and I have no 'spaniels ears' or 'envelope flap' effect at all.

OK - they're not as pert or as firm as they used to be, but they're perfectly respectable and servicable.

When I hear women going on about their fears of flippy flappy post breastfeeding boobs I often want to whip them out and say - don't worry - it's not inevitable! But I don't because I'm not that kind of person.

So ladies out there - please raise a glass to my industrious and happy chest, and to your own as well, if you're in a mood to celebrate.

I only breastfed for 3 months with ds and I definitely have spaniels ears! (they were the epitome of perky pertness before!)

You lucky bugger!

but I will nonetheless raise a glass to your hardworking and happy boobs

Oh well done!
Whip them out as often as poss. is my advice.

Raising a big glass of cider to yor fantastic tits! Excellent!

Well done to you and your fantastic boobs . I would love to have many years of bf. Only got 6 months so far, but DD on EBM today as it is my b-day and I am celebrating.

Congratulations! I was going to ask for a picture but on second thoughts I'll take your word for it!

add them to your profile to give this lazy afternoon crowd a buzz.

They are phenomenal.

"add them to your profile to give this lazy afternoon crowd a buzz"

You joke (I hope!)

But on a serious note - I do think there'd be room on the 'intraweb' (as my old dad calls it!) for a site showing mums post breastfeeding/birth bodies, just like the post c-section pictures on www.caesarean.org.uk

Just give women a realistic idea of the RANGE of normal body shapes!

course i am

FIVE years !!!! WoW ! Respect !

I've got a couple of years before I catch up with you Fabsmum, but I have to say that mine are still quite perky too

Whats the envelope effect then ?

fabsmum - well done on your pair serving you so well Also, thank your parents for the fortunate genes they passed onto you

There is a site showing natural breasts here if you're interested!

I salute your boobs.

I have enormous respect for my own boobs too after they fed my dd for 15 months, and are now fattening up my newborn ds a treat. Nearly 3 weeks old - nearly a pound a week, and all for free with no faff!

Hooray for boobies!

and also shape of a mother

Breastfeeding doesn't cause saggy boobs anyway, pregnancy can, because of how quick they grow, if you aren't supported proeprly, but as long as you wear decent supportive bras no-one need have saggy breasts.

I'm glad you like them, I rather like my puppies too

knew i should've got better bras - bugger

Thankyou for the link to the picture sites. V. interesting.

I am fascinated by the bellies with stretchmarks and loose skin.

It's completely normal isn't it? Lots of my friends have this.

But....(please excuse gloating, can't stop myself), I have had three children - one that was just shy of ll lbs, plus polyhydramnios in that pregnancy so looked like I was carrying twins, but have not a single stretchmark and no loose skin at all. Don't moisturise or exercise and never have done. OMG - I'm so lucky.

I don't have any stretch marks either. May hopefully detract attention from the aforementioned spaniels ears. (unlikely)

Mine aren't bad either. :P

I love my boobs too, I've always been a big girl (32DD), but since I have been boobing I am a 32G/F. Fantastic! Jordan had to pay thousands for hers, mine were free!! Admittedly they are not as perky as they were but I've had two babies, and I have about half a dozen stretchmarks (over one hip where both DD's sat with their legs/feet stretched out) so I'm not at all miffed. My bellyskin isn't as tight as before either, but I'd still happily go topless on a beach in the med and not be ashamed!

Raises a cup of coffee (it's too early for booze!) to our wonderful boobies!!

Monkies

Wow, that 'Shape of a Mother' website is really interesting! I've never seen stretchmarks before, as my mum didn't have any and neither do I. I also consider myself genetically blessed with my post-pregnancy figure - I'd certainly agree that always wearing a good bra is a good preventative measure, and helps things stay gravity-defying.

I guess the way to show that it is pregnancy, rather than breastfeeding, which changes your breasts is to ask those ladies who have given birth but haven't breastfed.
