34B, what will they be after weaning?

[Lovumms333238]

I am so worried that my already small breasts will either go super small and sag or become pancakes after I wean my little one. I am looking for the truth here just to be ready for it when it happens. Just to clarify I AM going to be breast feeding my dc once he or she is here most likely exclusively for the first 6mo-1yr. I am totally convinced that this is what I am meant to do and my body no matter what will be beautiful, at least to my dh, but I love this forum and want others opinions & experiences!
Thanks!

Any reassuring words mama's?

I was so excited, after having two kids pretty close in age, to feel like my body was my own again. I had mentioned treating myself to some nice underwear, so DH gave me a gift card to Victoria's Secret. I went in, all excited about buying some nice bras for once in my life, instead of the cheapo ones from a department store.

I get a handful of bras in my size--B--and head to the dressing room. After a few minutes the woman working there taps on the door and asks if I want some help, so I let her in (since I've had two children and everyone and their uncle has seen me half-naked). "Oh, honey," she says regretfully, "I think you might want to go down a cup size."

So, now that I am in the height of my womanhood, feeling happier with my body than I've felt in awhile, I've been demoted to training bras. Actually, I found some bras I love, modestly padded, that hide the pre-pubescent breasts that I'm rockin' these days.

Sorry I don't have better news from you based on my experience. I hope it's different for you and you totally keep the perky Bs! Oh, but WHILE I was breastfeeding--man, those were the most incredible breasts ever! Like bowling balls, round and firm and perfect. Wish I coulda kept you....

Well LaLaLaLa I really appreciate your honesty! It sounds like you are totally happy with your body and you seem very confident! I'm sure with the two little ones it was all worth it! Good info & Thanks for the response!

I was a very full 34 C when nursing my youngest. She has been weaned for four years now(she's six) and I am still a C. not as full as before but still a C or maybe a fuller B, lol. I was very surprised. Oh before that I was small side of a B cup. One is a bit less full than the other as she had a favorite but they are actually better now than when I had my son twelve years ago. You just never know.

Yet another its different for everyone! I've been nursing or pregnant for 4 years now so no personal experience. I've been everything from D to H.

My breasts went back to their pre pregnancy size after weaning (roughly 34B-C). They weren't quite as perky as they used to be but the size was exactly the same. Some women get bigger and stay bigger, that happened to my mom.

It can happen, take heart.

Would love to be positive here, but can't I am a 34 C-D depending on how full they are (lately more on the C side) when I am pregnant or nursing, but when I am not either one of those I am a nearly A I am not one of those lucky women, but I have decided that if I still feel that way when I am all done having babies I will treat myself to a nice pair of permanently C's!!

i haven't stopped nursing yet, but MAN my boobs were FAB when we were nursing more! best boobs of my life from about 2nd trimester to 1 year breastfeeding! I'm looking forward to getting those back when i get pregnant again, & doing wonders with lingerie in between...

Thank you mama's!!!

Lots of great information! I guess it really does depend on the individual! At least I have hope now

Hip Hip Hooray for MDC!!!
