Peri menopausal breasts

I'm baffled by my boobs! I've never been particularly well endows, even when breastfeeding babies I never got bigger than a C cup. In the last year or so, especially since I turned 50 six months ago, they have grown HUGELY! They're uncomfortable, get in the way, I feel like I'm following them around. I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in, they sweat if the touch each other aaaaargh I hate them. Are massive knorks a menopausal thing?? I'm now wearing a sodding E cup! Can I do anything diet or exercise wise to shrink them? I'm just not used to them.

Have you gained weight?

Same. Was a DD now a G! I even lost a stone but didn't help.

@bluntness100, yes, yo-yo every three years or so but even at my lardiest, never got bigger than a c. I'm not anywhere near my most rotund at the moment. At my lightest, I was an A cup! These are in a whole new league!

Today they have been huge, achy and weirdly feeling like they're 'letting down' on and off. I have breast fed a baby since 2011! I'm sure that can't be right!?

Mine never grew but I've had many years of feeling the let down sensation every so often and being so heavy and painful.

Mine have been feeling huge lately, and it's so uncomfortable. They've definitely grown a bit and I'm falling over the top of my bras and given that I am already a G cup, it'd be great if they could just stop this nonsense. I'm 'aware' of them all the time. They feel full and heavy - almost like when they used to feel just before a period. I'm 52, still having periods but my boobs are like this most of the time now!

Oops - I'm 51, not 52 - wishing my life away...

They're in the way when I turn over in bed! They stick together, that's definitely a new thing! Sometimes (possibly TMI) the areola gets hard and lumpy. Bloody weird. And annoying!
