....to your boobs!!! My boobs went from a 34F to a 34G during pregnancy then to a 34GG when breastfeeding and I have now not been feeding Lucas for 2 months and they are still the same size!!!! If that happens again i will be a 34J!!!! I really can't cope with the thought of that, they are too big as it is but a J would just kill my back!!! Has this happened to anyone who has had 2 or was the change not as big second time round?

My boobs were the opposite, but I didn't breastfeed for long. Mine's got really big when my milk came in and after a few weeks they deflated and looked like withered balloons!! I was devastated. They still aren't the same and dd's nearly 5! Although my boobs have stayed a pernameantly bigger cupsize. Prebaby I was a B cup, I am now D. I would also be interested to know the answer from mums with 2 lo's

my boobs have always been huge!! i was a 36 g before i fell PG and went up to a 38 L at end of pregnancy and whilst BF. after i stopped bf, they went to a 36 J and stayed like that until i lost weight and are now back at 36 G!!

my poor friend, bless her, was a 32 B then went to a 34 D when BF and has now shrunk to a 32 A and have done the same as what MFS said. at least because mine are big, they havent really gone saggy, they already hung low to begin with!! HAHAHA!! it made BF difficult as i had to 'rugby ball feed' and i couldnt lay her ac ross my tummy as my boobys were too low! xx

a bit worried, my boobs are only just recovering from bf and they are definitely not as pert as they were prebaby!

gracie19 my boobs meant i had to rugby ball feed too! interesting in public, lol. It was either that or hold one up and shove it in - a bit worried about smothering small baby!!

Mine are big too- around a 38G. I have lost weight recently so they are a bit smaller than before. They didn't change much in size whilst pg but they have definatley changed shape since BF my two and I didn't bf for as long as I should have done or wished I had. They used to hold their own quite well- they were as 'perky' as boobs that size can be and was proud of that...but, well not anymore!! I need a GOOD bra now they look ok when pushed up but without a bra on they are not really a pretty sight!

After number 3 I am pretty confident I shall be able to tuck them into my shoes!:lol:

well i'm a 32D (or DD depending on the brand) and pretty happy with mmy shape at the moment but i'm resigned to the fact that that will change after breastfeeding
i think hubby is excited about the idea of them getting even bigger but both of us are realistic about the effects of BF

I have to say that I wouldn't rule out a breast-lift (but not implants) after having all the children if i was really upset with my body - but i wouldn't do that until i was sure that i wasn't going to have any more children

Mine went massive when I was in late pregnancy and breast feeding my LO. Then a few weeks after he was born they just totally deflated... I'm about a 36/34 c/d now and they are definitely not like they used to be

OMG I am a 34 F without having any children!! Like Mrs Raf's husband, my hubby is so excited about them getting bigger when I am pregnant!

My boobs are killing at the moment, sorry ladies, but they are, I piggy backed my pills this month, and boy do I know about it!! Can't even walk down the stairs without them hurting : (

really MrsH? i often take packs back to back and seem to be lucky in that i never really get any side effects

I never used to get side effects when I did that. I guess it depends on which pill it is, and just how hormones effect each person really. x

yikes, yep worried about this, mine are a 34/6 E at the moment - had them down to a c a few years ago but have put on a bit of weight since then. I'm trying to be realistic about the whole pg thing and my body, my stretch marks will be awful, i have tonns already and not all that overweight, i prob will tear, i have v thin skin but it will be okay at the end of it coz i'll have a baby!

Mine didnt change much after having my first lo they were about a 34D before i got pregnant and went up to a 34E after although this is probably because i was a bit heavier than before, i didnt breast feed though.

They went up to a 34F when i was pregnant with ds2, hes 8 months old now, im still breast feeding although only once a day. Still wearing my 34F maternity bras but my boobs seem smaller now and slightly more deflated.

I am!
I like my boobies just how they are, same as mrs Raf 32 D. They stand up quite nicely on their own but if im any thing like my mum they'll shrivel up like dates after BFing. OH is already planning my implants lol!

I do worry...i'm 36dd at the mo and actually like my boobs as they are but i know that being pg and bf will come at a price...one i don't really mind having to pay :\)

I'm with Mrs Raf...in years to come when i've had all my lo's and my chest is perhaps skimming my knees (and i win the lottery!!) then i may consider an uplift
