Goodbye mummy milk and goodbye breast, when does it stop?

Postby scarlet » Thu May 10, 2012 6:50 pm

Ok so all my bra's are now huge after stopping feeding dd in February. My breast just keep shrinking and shrinking, when does this end?
I need a whole new set of underwear ( which I sooo can't afford) , I obviously have to get at least one bra asap but don't want to buy something for it so be good big in a couple of weeks/months.What was everyone else's experience and am I doomed to never be able to fit in any bra's ?

Mine were huge before pregnancy, grew with pg and bf and have NEVER SHRUNK BACK! I waited and waited and waited, and 4 yrs later they're still the same. Guess everyone's different!

On the bright side, I'm 23 wks pg and they've not got at all bigger this time. Thank goodness!

I stopped feeding Emily about 4 months ago now and mine stopped shrinking about 2 months ago and I've stayed a cup size bigger than I was originally even though I'm a smaller dress size than I was before I got pregnant. I know people who've ended up smaller than they were originally and some who stayed a lot bigger, sorry not much help I know.

This is a bit embarrassing but before haven't Pearl I never got measured. :oops: So don't know how much I grew but I was wearing a 32A with I now realise was way too big in the back but to small in the cup.
After a year of breastfeeding I went to a 30DD and now I'm only filling about half the cup so thinking I must have gone done to around a B.
Need to get measured , I'm going bridesmaid dress shopping on Saturday so will try on a few bits then.
Its so hard not working and with the wedding we never really have any spare cash. I always feel guilty buying things for myself, I know bra's are a necessity but even still. Especially as my back is small I can't just go buy cheapy bra's.
Haha what a woe is me post.
