LOL... are you sitting down??

Pre-pregnancy: 32DD

with ds1: 36J after my milk came in. 34 G for most of his nursing "career" and a VERY full 34 DD afterwards (probably more an E, but I just couldn't admit it)

with ds2: 36J after milk came in. Currently 34G (after 2 years of nursing). I'm not holding my breath on losing much when he finally weans... he only nurses once or twice a day now... :roll

Can anyone say BREAST REDUCTION??

Pre-Devlin: 34 (full) C
Pregnancy: 36 (full) D
Post-Partum-Milk-Surge: 34 DD? E? Who knows, not wearing bras much, lol!
Nursing: 34 (full) D
Weaned: 32 (spot-on) D

My left breast is 1/2 cup larger than the right, so one side always looks a little puckery.
: I have am currently 20 pounds lighter than I was when I got pregnant with D.

Not at all. Ok, I filled out a B cup just a bit better during pregnancy and immediately post-partum, but I never had to buy a different size bra.

When I got pregnant, I was hoping to finally make it to a C cup, but it wasn't to be. I still think I have mighty morphin power breasts, though, even more so because they didn't get much bigger, and I still nursed all three of my kids, for years each!

pre pg: 34DDD

pg with Leah- unsure, nothing fit right
nursing Leah- 36H were a bit snug
nursing Leah and pg with Hannah: Bravado custom made w/ medium back, one size up from XL++ front
Tandem nursing- Bravado bras
between babies: 38-40FF in Goddess brand bras
pg with Jack: 36I/II in Jeunique (equiv to 38 back in Goddess.)
nursing infant Jack: 36K while engorged, then 36I for a long time
nursing toddler Jack: 36H (Jeunique) or 38H/I (Glamorise front hook "regular" bras)
when I gained weight I went up to a 40I, now the 38I fits again since I've lost a little.

I haven't bought a bra in a dept store since I was pg w/ Leah. I haven't bought a properly fitted bra in a dept store since BEFORE Leah was conceived!

My bra sizes have always been all over the place.

I started out a nice tight perky small B cup. by the end of the third nursing cycle I had scarey loose drooping large C's. And a couple of serious scars to go along from when the baby bit me and took out a chunk of skin. No , don't worry. She didn't choke. I managed to dig my flesh from her mouth before she gagged. Then I passed out.

I have now lost my baby weight and any other weight I said was my baby weight but really wasn't. I'm back down to a 32 B. Not quite so loose , one of them is perky , pushups have helped make the area tighter. My dh calls them "my variety pack boobs".

I started out barely filling an A cup before getting pregnant the first time. I was pretty much as flat as a board. I went up to a C during pregnancy, and was in a D cup when my milk came in. They settled back down to a large B after my daughter weaned herself (I was pregnant at the time). I gave birth 4 days ago, and am currently spilling out of my old D nursing bra. I haven't gone in to buy new bras yet, so I'm not sure what size I am now. DH is loving it, though...even though he can only look and not touch.

I was a 36 almost B before kids. They went to 36C at around 5 months pregnant and then I got fitted for a nursing bra when I was 8 months pregnant and they told me to get a 38DD/E. I've stuck with that bra for 3 kids and 4 1/2 years of nursing. I have 5 of the same style bra in white and black.

Sweetpea? Well I am bigger, but no milk yet

Ok, I really need to get some sleep. All I could think when I read this was, "Oh, she's lopsided like me! But why did she name her breasts 'Josh' and Zach'??"

how in the world did what happen ?

The droopiness ?

Droopy because I'd gained significant weight. They were heavy boobs.

Or the scars ?

That happened when my ten month old ( who had six teeth ) decided my breast was a chew toy. In the middle of a sweet nursing experience , she pulls back , places those chubby fists on either side of my nipple , grins that megawatt grin and chomps down. Thankfully missing the nipple but got most the brown aerola just to the side and underneath. Admist the fog of pain I see blood , I scrape my flesh from her mouth before she begins to choke , manage to communicate enough to dh that he needs to get me a cloth and a butterfly bandage or three

, .......and she was nursed exclusively on the other breast until she weaned herself a few weeks later.
