I'm back to wearing pre-pregnancy bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-bras-after-nursing-ends#post-2299774 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 18:03:10 +0000 hellobeeboston 2299774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: I ended up being the same cup size (or smaller) but wider, I guess my rib cage expanded and stayed that way! I waited a month or two after to buy a new bra. I had an expanded from pregnancy to put on my old bras so they weren't so tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-bras-after-nursing-ends#post-2299724 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 16:53:22 +0000 Eko 2299724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went up two bra sizes from my pregnancy. I filled out more once my milk came in but didn't go up in size. I dropped one bra size when I stopped breastfeeding. I am about 10 lb. shy my pre pregnancy weight and will likely drop down another once I lose the weight. But I dropped down a size within 2 weeks and have stayed there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-bras-after-nursing-ends#post-2299708 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 16:27:42 +0000 birdofafeather 2299708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsLonghorn: i waited a couple months. mine definitely filled in more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-bras-after-nursing-ends#post-2299676 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:41:29 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2299676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I could... I may need to do that, I'd just rather not.<br /> It would feel celebratory to get a nice bra. I'm actually really excited about it, since my nursing bras were in bad shape by the end. But I guess I can be patient.... :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-bras-after-nursing-ends#post-2299651 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:31:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2299651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you buy one or two cheap bras for now then go and get fitted for good ones in another month or two?</p> <p>Personally I have no idea because I got pregnant as soon as I stopped breastfeeding. These girls have been through the ringer and will need some good quality bras after baby 2 is done nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-bras-after-nursing-ends#post-2299631 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:14:46 +0000 snowjewelz 2299631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! Pretty much will be fully weaned in the next few weeks! I have not even attempted to fit these babies into pre-preg bras haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buying-bras-after-nursing-ends#post-2299616 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:09:01 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2299616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you go bra shopping after you stopped nursing/pumping? or when did your boobs stop changing shape?</p> <p>My last pumping session was 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I'm confident that my boobs are fully empty now. Sadly, they don't come anywhere near filling up my nursing bras, but my pre-pregnancy bras don't fit well either. How long did you wait before you went bra shopping, if you needed to purchase new ones? I have time to go tomorrow, but am concerned that they may keep changing shape over the next few weeks....am I "safe"? </p>
