serious boob question

[jilly160]

Ok, so im a ftm, im quite large in the chest, a DD. And ladies, my boobs look amazing right now, but you cant touch them or even look at them for that long before i cringe in pain. I plan on breast feeding, and i want the most honest answer! What is going to happen to these lovely ladies?

I don't think everyone's boobs go flat and saggy after breastfeeding. I'm also large chested (DD) and I pumped for 8 months with my son. I had to pump because his first 3 months were spent in the hospital due to being premature. My boobs still look great! Even with no bra :) I think genes do play a big role just like how some ppl get stretch marks and others don't. Either way our baby's health is all that matters and good for all u mamas who do breastfeed!! :)

I am about a smaller d and a full d maybe almost dd when breastfeeding They will be huge and amazing and sore I didn't breastfeed for long with either of my kids ...after that's all over they will look like flat saggy blobs lol my friends and I talk about getting boob jobs after we're all done with kids I literally look flat when I'm laying down there's nothing left ...

Those lovely ladies are likely to temporarily tranform into hulking masses of  milk leaking granite as they become engorged. That's only sort of a hahaha. ; ) They will undoubtedly get larger when your milk comes in. Your nipples will possibly feel quite rebellious as they adjust to their new job description. I highly recommend using Lansinoh lanolin on them for about the last 2-4 weeks of pregnancy and during the first month of nursing. Get help from the lactation consultant while you're in the hospital.  They are a huge help, especially to first time nursing moms. Don't give up!  The first month is the toughest, but it's so worth it! I've exclusively breastfed all 12 of mine and it's worth it all!
