okay.. soo.. what happens to your breast after you finish nursing?

I am just curious becasue I am doing it for 3.5 years and they are
getting.. longer :-) I am pretty sure they won't bounce back
but willt hey get smaller or something? they are now bigger then
pre preggo if you ask.

Mine didn't go saggy or anything, like I had been worried about, but they were a full cup size smaller after I stopped nursing. I'll be nursing again soon and I wonder what the damage will be after that!

How much did you grow during pregnancy? I know I've gained a cup and a half in 14 weeks! (ouch!) I'm worried there is more to come!

I nursed DS for 20 mos... my boobs are not nearly the ones I had going into this whole thing! Mine are a bit smaller, and mostly just... empty. (Though I suspect I'm PG again and they are filling very full right now.)

Empty is just about the best word I can use to describe my breasts after nursing.

Breasts definately change after nursing. But they also change after pregnancy. It might be time for you to be fitted for a good bra. One that will support "the girls" after they've done their job.

Congrats mama, job well done!

A friend of mine once called them "eggs at the bottom of tube socks." I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that.

I am still nursing DS (22 months) and I was an A cup pre-preggo, so I am wondering if I will have ANYTHING left when done. Before I had DS, for some reason, I always thought that after having a baby your boobs stayed bigger. Wish it were true. Maybe for some?

I now seem to be back to my size pre first pregnancy - and glad I didn't throw those bras away! Oh, and I am due next month. But that says nothing about you of course, there could be more to come
