Already in 2nd tri and they have grown so much, none of my old bras fit. Just wondering whether they stay like this after delivery or go back to normal once feeding is done? curious.
I was so stressed that they would stay huge forever and none of my old clothes would ever fit me again. It took almost 1.5 years, but they did shrink back eventually. The anxiety is normal, but your body will settle down.
My body changed so much, and initially, I was very conscious of the size. But then I realized how beautiful it is that our bodies can nurture a life. Be gentle with yourself, these changes are a sign of your strength.
In my experience, they stayed quite big as long as I was feeding my daughter. Once I stopped breastfeeding after a year, they went back to almost my normal size, just a little softer than before.
Haha, my chest size is the only place I'm gaining good weight apart from my belly where all the pani puri is going! Enjoy the curves for now, we can worry about going back to normal size later.
Physically, the breast tissue changes due to milk production and fat storage. Once you stop nursing, the glandular tissue shrinks, though some extra skin or stretch marks might remain. It's completely natural anatomy.
Honestly, you will need to invest in some good supportive nursing bras now, and then resize again later. They do go down in size after you stop pumping or feeding, but they might not be as firm. Just plan your wardrobe accordingly!
Actually, they do stay quite full while you're feeding, yaar. But once you stop, they definitely reduce in size, though the shape might feel a bit different. It's totally normal, don't sweat it.
My mother always told me that a mother's body changes for her baby, and we should be proud of it. Mine did get smaller again after feeding stopped, so don't worry about it too much, dear.
Look, pregnancy and feeding will change your body shape, there is no escape from that. They might lose some firmness and shrink back a bit, but that's just how motherhood is. Wear a good supportive bra and move on.
Hey, don't stress too much about your body shape right now! Yes, they stay a bit larger while you are breastfeeding, but they do tend to shrink back closer to your original size later. Just embrace the changes, you look beautiful!
