I hated them too! I was very small Chested prior, think a-cup and always wanted to know what it was like to have big<br /> Boobs. I got to a c cup and it just got in the way of things and my style totally didn't look right with a big bust. I would never ask to have big boobs again. I breastfed for 3 months, they stayed big for the entire time. About 2 weeks after I stopped they deflated but have since settled to around a small b cup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-these-monsters-ever-go-down#post-13954 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 12:06:53 +0000 geekinheels 13954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lozza — You're scaring me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-these-monsters-ever-go-down#post-13950 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 12:03:22 +0000 Lozza 13950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is a little over 7 months old, and mine have yet to begin any return to normal... pre-pregnancy, I was a DD, and the bra I just bought last week was an H. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-these-monsters-ever-go-down#post-13939 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:48:13 +0000 Red 13939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine started decreasing around the 3rd month and returned to normal at 8 mos.

Even at 128 lbs, I look fat because of my D-cup boobs (they've been this size since I was 14.) Last time I checked, I was a bloody F-cup (I'm losing weight - band size went down, boobs did not)! Feels like my bras fit again, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-these-monsters-ever-go-down#post-13935 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:46:01 +0000 T.H.O.U. 13935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I have breastfed for three months I feel like I have settled a bit (unless I'm really engorged). I would say they really settled about 2 months or so after birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-these-monsters-ever-go-down#post-13929 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:40:33 +0000 geekinheels 13929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although I am a second-time mom, I only breastfed Claire for 3 months and I can't, for the life of me, remember the answer to this question so I was hoping someone could chime in here...</p> <p>Pre-pregnancy, I was a full B or small C. My breasts swelled to D-cups through the duration of the pregnancy, and now that my milk has come in, they're DD/E's!</p> <p>I have always been self-conscious of my breasts and I really, really hate them now. None of my clothes fit and I just look plain ridiculous, especially since I am a petite 5'1".</p> <p>I remember that my breasts returned to their pre-pregnancy size (although floppier and saggier) when I quit breastfeeding Claire. But since my decision to quit breastfeeding was due to health issues and I want to try to breastfeed Aerin for about a year, my question is: will my breasts eventually "settle down" as my body gets used to the milk and new levels of hormones? Or will I be doomed to don these monsters for the entire time I breastfeed? </p>
