They ballooned up to the size of rock hard cantaloupes. Those marks are never going away :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1231926 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:58:11 +0000 bushelandapeck 1231926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are sooooo much smaller and definitely not perky anymore.

There's no way that's not making things worse. Also I have to say mine are currently all dry and itchy because of this same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1230083 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:42:00 +0000 MrsStar 1230083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I weaned a month ago and they are pretty sad looking, padded bras are my best friend these days - I especially hate it when I'm lying down on my back because they pretty much disappear. I miss my pre-pregnancy/pre-breastfeeding boobs. Ah well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1229746 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:30:32 +0000 ElbieKay 1229746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girls, I hate to say it, but before this pregnancy I miscarried at around 7 weeks, and my boobs were permanently altered just from that experience. So, I am convinced it's at least partially due to pregnancy since I obviously never made it to the breastfeeding stage with the mc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1229734 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:27:02 +0000 QueensBee 1229734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just weaned a month ago but I think mine are pretty much the same as prepregnancy now. They didn't change much during pregnancy, they grew a ton during the early milk days which was kind of nice! but sadly they leveled off around 4 months and are now back to square 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1229691 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:18:11 +0000 Alivoo01 1229691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: hahahahaha!!!</p> <p>Oh man... I had small boobs before getting pregnant and am totally loving my bigger/fuller boobs now. If they shrink up smaller than pre-pregnancy, omg!! What boobs?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1229498 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 11:29:52 +0000 sorrycharlie 1229498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: mine were full and perky until about 6 months pp..then they just deflated as she started going longer between nursing :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228339 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 21:04:29 +0000 betsyboop 1228339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I first weaned they were really saggy and deflated. After almost a year, they are pretty much back to normal. But I was pretty small to begin with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228325 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:56:27 +0000 blackbird 1228325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh they aren't so bad.

I'm breastfeeding now and wondering if my boobs will be deflated. Sadness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228311 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:46:22 +0000 junebugmama 1228311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most studies have proven that breast changes like everyone's describing happens from pregnancy hormones and not actually breast feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228302 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:44:05 +0000 Adira 1228302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now I'm depressed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228160 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:58:38 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1228160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 3 months PP and I can tell they've changed so. They're definitely longer and saggier and, like the song says, can ya tie 'em in bow? Yes, yes you can. But I'm still in a "these boobs were made for feedin' and that's just what they'll do" place of not caring what they *look* like, so long as they're functioning the way I want them to. In the meantime, DH has assured me that he's still very much into them, so I guess all'<br /> s well for now. We'll see what it's like after we wean :P</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: Ski jumps are a perfectly analogy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228146 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:52:47 +0000 Smurfette 1228146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are so deflated now:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228135 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:42:10 +0000 MrsF 1228135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So deflated and so much smaller :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228119 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:34:07 +0000 MoonMoon 1228119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still in the middle of BF ing, but I get the sense that they'll be smaller once I stop. And dare I say...I'm kind if looking forward to that? In my defense, my pre-baby boobs were uncomfortably big-I could use a little deflation, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228107 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:27:50 +0000 chopsuey 1228107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: HAHA is all I have to say.<br /> After nursing 2, they are limper and saggier fo sho.</p> <p>edit: btw I'm haha ing at the state of my juts. :P &gt;&lt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228106 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:27:23 +0000 MsLipGloss 1228106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 14.5 months pp, and allllllmost done weaning (my right boob still has a little milk, nadda for my left boob).

They got deflated &amp; pancake like after I had G (didn't bf him). I'm still bf'ing P but they'll likely be pretty close to how they were before her since they're a bit fuller/perkier (if you want to call it that) than before having her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1228090 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 19:18:11 +0000 sarac 1228090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I'm almost done nursing, they have a bit of a flat, sad look. So tragic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1227833 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:53:33 +0000 .twist. 1227833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I feel like this is the direction mine are going in. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1227827 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:50:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1227827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: oh, that's still TBD… but i'm not getting my hopes up! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1227816 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:47:41 +0000 prettylizy 1227816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes.... so so different. I weaned then got pregnant again so I feel like they never changed density from milk production/storage to just regualr boobs. The are softer, less perky and deflated. I've heard tell rumors that once I wean for a good while (I still had a little milk when I got PG) they might firm up. Alas, I suspect I'll be in underwire until I die :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-bfing-do-a-number-on-your-breasts#post-1227815 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 16:47:40 +0000 MamaBehr 1227815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They got quite saggy and low.... but when I got pregnant again they perked back up! Moral of the story, I have to be pregnant for the rest of my life! JK! hahahaha </p>
