Don’t know where is right to post this
I had my baby 9 weeks ago. I bottle feed. I was recently watching the full monty and I suffer with anxiety so got me checking my boobs!

Upon checking I realised one of my breasts has sagged and the other hasn’t which is apparently also I sign of breast cancer. I am 22 years old and terrified.

Is this normal after giving birth or not

Boobs lose some of their elasticity during pregnancy, it's commonly associated with breastfeeding as we don't tend to notice until baby arrived. the reality is breastfeeding makes no difference pregnancy does!

I don’t breastfeed I bottle feed and it’s only 1 of my breasts that has sagged

Your body is lopsided, most people are as are mine !!! It maybe more pronounced but it's common for breasts to become more saggy after pregnancy.

on a different note feet are often slightly different too!

Pregnancy makes them sag anyway, they can become rather uneven too. Go to your GP if your worried about it being breast cancer.
