Where have my boobs gone?!!

Anyone else finding boobs are still shrinking over a year after giving birth? I was not even able to BF (long story) so can't even comfort myself they've been sacrificed for a good cause! All the B cup bras I bought when DS was about 10mths, to replace my former size C, are now hanging off me and I have a horrible feeling they may be down to an A... will this stop?!!

Same here. I started out as 36C and am now a 34A! I have decided that I don't need a bras as to be honest the A cup I am in now is rather roomy! So much for saggy boobs after bf - mine have vanished.

Mine shrunk for a while about 9 motnhs after having ds. But they have got bigger again and plumped out. I think I read somewhere that pregnancy affects breast fat and can take up to 2 years for it to return to normal levels (not necessarily normal size though).

I did breastfeed though so not sure if that makes a difference. Have you lost wieght in general?

I see you have 4 kids schilke - did this happen gradually over the 4, or with just one - I only have one DC so heaven only knows what I'll be left with if I have any more!

Ahh tutu, so there may be hope for me yet? No, have not actually lost weight recently but have been put onto ADs and exercise regime (not a weight loss one, just to relese the happy hormones!) for PMT/borderline mild PND - so perhaps that is affecting things?

I have very little left, I now wear ultimo gel filled bras as my everyday bra - makes my clothes look & fit a lot better!

Pretty much same after ds1, then went to 36B after ds2. Then came dd1 and went to about 34B/A and after dd2 a 34A or less! So it happened gradually. After each baby I weighed a couple of pounds less generally.
