Breast reduction and pregnancy

Not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I couldn't see anywhere else .

I had a baby over a year ago. During pregnancy my breasts grew. a lot. They were fairly big before but now are completely disproportionate to the rest of my body and causing me issues with posture and back/neck ache. I have a well fitting bra - although can only find one style that fits well but thats a different issue. My weight has not changed, so it's not a case of the growth being caused my gaining weight.

I hate my new chest and I will be getting a reduction. The plan is to wait because I'd like more babies, and I worry if I get it done before falling pregnant that they may grow back again. But I'd love to get them done now and enjoy my body again.

I've never come across anyone in my real life who had the big change in size post baby. So I'm assuming it's not really that common.

Just wondering if there is anyone who has had a breast reduction and then fell pregnant. Did your chest grow bigger again post baby? Particular interested if anyone like me had significant boob growth after having a baby, had a reduction and then fell pregnant again.

Yep. I had a reduction aged 30 thinking my family was complete. Had another baby aged 36. And yes, they grew back

Had another reduction aged 49 in September of this year. No more babies planned!

It's pointless to do it until your family is complete because the chances are .. you'll have to have it done again
