BOOBS

[peeweehelp]

Was it breastfeeding or pregnancy itself that changed your boobs? (If you know!)

@BeatriceTheBeast I know, I do feel sad at that thought.

But I'm not planning to have children for another few years (and if I'm lucky enough for things to work out) would like to have more than one so it would be ages before I could consider it and then I'd hopefully gave a few children to look after which would make being out of action for 4 weeks tough (live abroad)

When I stopped bf after 2.5 years they looked like spaniel ears. But nearly 8 months later they’ve filled up again and are almost back to their former selves.

If you want children I’d definitely wait till after to have a breast reduction/augmentation. You don’t know how they’ll end up afterwards.

I'd be worried I'd have given up any chance of breastfeeding AND then I'd have to have it done again after dcs tbh. So, if it's at all doable, I would wait.

I personally wouldn't go through the pain and expense of a reduction before having children. I'm big chested and would love a reduction myself if I could afford it, so I understand the discomfort.
Pregnancy will make them bigger, sometimes temporarily, sometimes not. Mine got bigger with each child I had, I breastfed all of them. Whilst they reduced in size after feeding had finished they were were still bigger than when I started. I was a dd/e before children and am now a gg.

I think a combination of pregnancy, extended bf and age, have made them slightly less pert, but not too bad (I'll be 50 next year) tbh. Pregnancy definitely gave me big boobs, whereas I was smaller than average, they reduced during bf and after.

At my bf support gp, someone who had had a reduction was receiving support for mixed feeding as they could produce some milk.

Pregnancy made mine grow, and breastfeeding seemed to keep them at the bigger size. When I stopped the shrank back down to the size they were before but seem a bit less "full" now. I don't think they look that bad, but one thing I do hate is that the size difference between the two breasts is noticeably bigger. I always had a bigger one, think most women do, but it's just a lot more obvious on me now.

Mine were an FF cup pre-kids, a G and an H during pregnancy/bfing - and a C cup now!

Honestly OP, if you're planning on having kids, I'd wait. As this thread proves, pregnancy and bfing changes bodies quite dramatically, and you don't know which way it would go for you.
