post bosom syndrome

[SenoraPostrophe]

I'm not sure why I'm posting about this, but I am in mourning for my boobs.

15 months of breastfeeding and excessive weight loss have taken their toll and none of my bras fit any more. I thought it might just be my weight, but I've put most of it back on now (I think)and still they're not there.dh asked where his big breasted girlfriend had gone. I told him I'd have to get preg again (which shut him up).

sigh. anyone else? how do you cope?

Don't throw those bras out, mine did this and then filled out again! I fed for 13 months and like you lost a lot of weight, they were like 2 fried eggs on a plate! After another 6 or 7 months they were back.

I'm the same - after breastfeeding two hungry babies, mine are the Kate Moss of the boob world, as opposed to the Sophie Dahls they once were.

When did you stop bf-ing? Mine were pretty dire when I stopped bf-ing ds2, and they're still not what they were but they are a lot better than immediately after stopping breast feeding, when they resembled envelope flaps. They will never be perky again, but at least they don't seem 'empty' any more. As you have put the lost weight back on that will help - when I went down to 8.5 stone (far too skinny for my height) after having ds1 my boobs virtually disappeared, and I'm pretty well blessed.

Why do I keep talking about my boobs on MN tonight?

ediemay - that's great! dh will be pleased.

can't bring myself to be measured but I'm guessing I've gone from a d to a b.

mm - I don't think I have put all the weight back on - only some. but I did only give up bfing in april.

can't quite get used to only having a slightly wobbly bottom either.

at the bottom. I was amazed by having a flat stomach for the first (& last) time ever. Take a trip to La Senza - I was trying to buy bras the other day and theirs all looked like strap-on instant chests!

sounds a bit posh. I'm normally an m&s gal.

ah but they had a big sale on. I'm usually Debenhams own brand!

Mine are pathetic. I stopped bfing about 10 months ago. And I've put weight on - it's the very worst of all possible worlds!

god sorry everyone, listen to me moaning about being too thin.

I just don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe.

snafu

still, I'm using it as an excuse to stop shaving my legs.

You cannot be too rich or too thin.

Though if you are not rich it's best not to get too thin because then you can't afford new clothes and your jeans wil fall down.

Honestly, I used to be known as pinky & perky in my younger days (I had some very unreconstructed friends ), now it's more like, I dunno, steptoe and son?

Ahem, maybe not...

Oh, pleeeease don't let me have killed this thread on that note

mm and snafu - rofl!

I'm going to get that saying made up as a car sticker.

the one about being too thin, that is, not pinky and perky

Wow, I'd love to be responsible for a car sticker - I'd be be a genuine 21st century philosopher then.

i breastfed all my four and mt boobs now sadly resemblehalf deflated ballons.

My ds has started feeeding out of the left on eonly. Gonna have one empty envelope and one bubble wrapped!

buy a pushup and cram them into it! gives you the illusion theyre back...

I really miss my breasts. They've never been big - a "B" cup was always stretching it really, but I was really very happy with them. I had my two quite close, didn't breast feed for very long (6 and 3 months) but they swelled up like balloons when I was weaning and they've never recovered. Took up weight training and cycling last year which further diminished them. I just hate the way they disappear when I lie down. I've even thought about surgery!

when do boobs go smaller, when you stop bfing totally? ds nearly 11 months and mine are still much bigger and often looks like I have had boob job....

They don't always. My sister is bigger than before (her second is 2 1/2 and she stopped bf at least a year ago)
