Pre-pregnancy I had two small, well-behaved and easy to contain boobs. I could quite happily wear PJs without a bra, safe in the knowledge that there would only be a demure and vaguely flattering hint of chest adornment through the fabric.
Post-pregnancy I have been left with what I can only think of as two slippers that start roughly at breast height and continue southward for a number of miles, culminating in the largest, um, nipples, I've ever seen. Not that I'm a nipple connoisseur or anything, but I had no idea they could become so big nor so... Obvious. You'd think I was cold all the time. I sleep in a sports bra now to keep these things relatively high up so I don't accidentally sit on them or something.
It's not good.
Does it get better? Do I have to start buying tops with in built support? I'm not used to having these... Things just hanging off me getting in the way of stuff. I feel like if I elbowed one of them it would bash into the other one and then they'd be off, ricocheting off each other like those things in offices, you know where you tap one silver ball against another and they go on like that independently all afternoon.
