To not like my boobs while breastfeeding

8 replies

My baby is 9 months and EBF although weaning as well. He regressed a bit to feeding more after being ill recently.

I was a 32E before pregnancy and went up to a 32GG at my largest post partum, but my main issue is that one of my boobs is significantly larger than the other - like double in size. This wasn't the case before pregnancy. I know this is common for lots of women but at this size it's so noticable and inconvenient. They're also very saggy now.

Will they ever go back to normal??

I'm a single mum so will at some point go back to dating but have a hard time thinking about ever revealing them to anyone again! I'm enjoying breastfeeding but clothing and bras are an issue as nothing fits well due to the massive difference in size.

Hi op

having exactly the same issue and weirdly the same size as you also! Having these ginormous boobs (well boob) is not fun. Hoping someone tells us it gets better! X

From experience, yeah they'll go back to pretty much normal. They might feel softer and less full, but the sizes will even up eventually.

I’m afraid I got stuck like this. My breasts are uneven and now I have to cover up for the test of my life because I look a mess.

Would you not consider surgery?

Surgery costs thousands of pounds 💰 💰

The NHS won’t help me. If you have uneven boobs because of a medical condition they will fix it because they say it affects your mental health. But apparently it doesn’t affect your mental health in the same way if it was caused by breastfeeding.

Wonder what medical condition would cause this apart from breastfeeding?

Or do you mean from breast cancer?

Is consider surgery eventually but I'd like more children first. I'd rather not though - hoping it returns to like before!

They do breast reductions on the NHS so so guess it depends on the size. I always knew I’d want an uplift after having kids as with 32E boobs they were not particularly perky!
