I hate my postpartum breasts - Just found out I am a 38G. Yes ladies - a 38G.

Enough said. Want nice perky B cups but that ain't gonna happen. Sigh...

I feel your pain...not even post partum yet and am a 36H. Was a 34 D/DD before pregnancy. Finding nursing and regular bras has been terrible. I would kill for a nice C cup right now. God help me post partum! BTW, I haven't even gained that much weight anywhere else!

Ha! I was a 36G before getting pregnant. So far @16 weeks they've only gotten heavier and not bigger. Postpartum is going to be terrible though. Post-kids in 5+ yrs, I'm going for a medically necessary reduction. I'll have perkier boobs at 35 than I did at 25!

Been there. (36F) Kid is 2.5 now and I'm DD. If I could just lose 15 lbs I think I'd be back to pre-baby size, 34D. I guess I am just saying, hang in there.

Another one in the same boat. I've wanted a reduction for yrs but decided to wait until after children. Was a 38H after my first. Went I went to get fitted for a bra, the woman called my breasts "pendulous"... Um, thanks?
Now 6 mo postpartum with DC2 and am counting down til the end of nursing so I can get the reduction/lift.

OP here. Feeling a bit better. At least your posts put a smile on my face. 15:17 - made my day. Tell the saleslady your "pendulous" boobs might just smack her if she isn't careful!

In case it helps, I've got two months left til my due date and I'm a 34H. I don't know if they'll make bras big enough for me postpartum.

OP here! I feel self-conscious and gross. I told DH last night and he blames it on gaining weight and not losing it you had to be part of the conversation because he wasn't trying to be an a-hole but was like - hey, you can lose weight and change your breast size. I am just feeling bad. Talk about a self-esteem breaker!

This is pretty much me too. I was a 32 DDD all through my twenties which is a large size but i'm only 5 ft. tall so they looked especially big on me so I've wanted a reduction for awhile.

I kept telling myself that after I had kids they'd only get bigger and lower...and I was right

So glad I held out. Looking forward to the reduction/lift.

Lordy. I was an A before, went to a nice B, and have shriveled back down a very small A. Maybe we can arrange a transfer of some boobage?

I am 34G postpartum (up from 34F normally) and don't see anything wrong with the size

I was concerned about my 40Gs being bigger than my baby's head, but I have a friend whose breast must be K-cups (does that exist?) and whose breasts were each BIGGER THAN HER BABY. Literally. And this was a healthy 7-lb baby.

OMG that is such a funny image, thanks for the laugh! This, coming from a 38G, so I can relate, though my 4 mo is gigantic so he's always been bigger than my gigantic boobs, at least.

I've been daydreaming about the reduction/lift, too. How amazing it would be to be able to do yoga, run, wear a swimsuit w/o being totally uncomfortable. And to button a button-down shirt w/ a safety pin. Ahhhh. Think it may be my present to myself in a few years on my 40th bday.

I am with 9:17, I would like some transfer of boobage. If I lay down now I could be mistaken for a man. They are small shriveled up water balloons...
