I unzipped my jacket at the doctor's office today and the nurse said, "obviously you are still breastfeeding. Are you engorged or are they always that big?" Ick! I can't wait to go back to my regular size.
Has anyone noticed or commented about your breast size while breastfeeding?

@HLK208: So rude! Yes, but only from people I know -- but they were enormous. I'm usually a size small B and while BF was an E!

Wow, how inappropriate! I cannot think of any situation where commenting on someone else's breast size would be appropriate.

Ha, my dad made a comment about how big my boobs were when I was pregnant. During Christmas dinner. Awkward!

I would never say to a stranger. I have commented to close friends but that is all. And mostly just say something wow your boobs are huge now. But that is girl talk.

Woah, how rude. I remember a nicu nurse telling me that Breastfeeding would be easier when I wasn't so swollen, and I was like, no, this is how my boobs always look.

no awkward comments to me, but my boobs were super big pre baby anyhow so they didn't change much.

Yikes!! I have teeny boobs, so I'm sure no one will ever comment, ha. However, I would only say something like that to my BEST friend, because we're on that level. For a professional, that's really unprofessional.

I remember at my 6 week postpartum checkup I opened my gown and my OB said "Wow, obviously your milk has come in." I wasn't bothered because I knew I was huge. Usually an A, but while I was breastfeeding I was a D.

Yes, there was a picture of me and LO on FB and all of my girlfriends messaged me..."Whoa, your boobs are huge!!"

My MIL does. It makes me want to slap her. She also calls my boobs "hooters" which REALLY gets me mad.

My sisters can't believe how big they are, and a friend said to me "now you have the boobs you always wanted!£ (not true, I loved my boobs before, not so much now).

Just my BF from high school, but it wasn't insulting at all and more funny since we have been friends so long and can reminisce of the days when there was literally nothing to speak of at all

Yep, my friend exclaimed: holy s$#%! Your boobs are huge! When she saw me feed DD for the first time. Ha. Definitely not something to comment on for a stranger!

Ewwww. Strangers, no. My close friends? Yes. They tease me about them. In a nice way.

I was about 5 1/2 months pp and hadn't breasted in over 4 months and my boobs were still ginormous. My SIL asked me 'when are those going to go down?' I said 'no idea, but they went down 2 cup sizes from when I was BF' she then turned to her husband and said 'man, I need to lose weight before I get pregnant, do you see those things!?' I was dumbfounded....

Haha not really, except once at a wedding, I was so engorged and my cousin said she could tell I was breastfeeding or something like that cuz my boobs were much bigger than usual. I will miss those babies when I stop bf next month!

@apis: LOL
Rude!!
@sarbear: Rude!!
Mine are always big just depends on how I dress. I get weird comments, too but somehow manage to forget them.

Not BF yet, but at 22 weeks preggo they've gone up from DD to DDD and I guess they look huge, since two co-workers (female, but still! not friends! co-wokers!) have commented on them >.< Seriously, I'm not looking forward to the comments I'll be getting. What is wrong with people??
