...how long did it take for your boobs to go back to normal size? Did they, if you were back at pre preg weight?
I'm 12 lbs away from pre preg weight and one pant size up but my chest is two sizes larger. I desperately want them to go back down 
I'm pumping 2-3x/day right now and not nursing

I'm still nursing 3-4x/day but not pumping. They're still huge....

After I weaned completely I would say it took about 2 weeks for them to go down...and down...and down. Now they are so much smaller than pre-pregnancy 
Oh, and I would recommend weaning very slowly! I was in a crazy colic mom / PPD hurry and it was not comfortable.

Great question. Especially since I just measured myself and I am a 42H!!!

Mine have gone down a lot. They are about one size bigger than they were pre preg, but I still have a ton of weight to lose so I am confident they will go back down or be even smaller.

I was just posting on the Nov board that mine have shrunk! I'm still EBF 5 times in 24 hours usually, and they grew 2-3 sizes during pregnancy, stayed huge until 3 months PP and then have slowly shrunk back down starting at 5 months PP. I've been at prepreg weight since 3-ish months PP, or less. I'm scared of what they'll do when we wean

Oh man I hadn't considered they could be smaller after I wean!
I'm so ready to go back to being *just* a DD. Never thought I'd ever say that

I'd say a couple of weeks. It took awhile to wear old bras. Sadly though, my boobs seem saggy now

@blackbird: ugh, I know the feeling.i can't wait to get back to being a DD! I got fitted for a nursing bra a couple weeks ago and I'm a freaking F cup. I haven't been back to the gym yet and part of the reason is that none of my workout tops fit. I hate it.

I don't remember exactly how long it took, but my boobs did return to their original size within a few weeks. I started out as an A and only ever went up to a B. Just glad that they didn't go down to AA status.

,@hergreenapples, I swear you're my body twin! I'm also an F. I bought two size 12 tops from lululemon and they do fit! Very stretchy. And the lane Bryant DDD sports bras fit great!!!! I wore the 12's while pregnant, too.
Ugh seriously, though. Stress has really hurt my supply so its making me think about stopping sooner Than later since I have a decent freezer stash (250 oz)
