When my milk came in I went from a 34B to a 36 E overnight. Breastfed my son for a full two years and they settled to a reasonable 36C after he weaned. There's some extra skin, obviously - that doesn't just go away. They need a bit more support than they used to, which is understandable. But they look fabulous in a corset or a good bra and they fed my little boy wonderfully well and saved me thousands and thousands of dollars in factory formula. So I'm okay with that.

I dropped a bra size after quiting breastfeeding, so yes, the do sag more than they used to kinda like deflated balloons.. But I have always had huge boobs so I loved being able to run and lie down without feeling like they were going to suffocate me or smack me in the head. But honestly, (possibly TMI) the nipple is the most important part to most men ha ha ;) so my hubby's never had a problem and I'm sure you'll do great! Bfing is hard at first and a learning curve, so don't be surprised or feel bad if it takes a while, and ask for lots of help if you need to :) wishing you the best!!

Don't let people tell you formula isn't as good. My son was bottle fed and didn't get sick until he was 2. And he's never had any issues he's perfectly healthy.

Of course your baby is the most portant thingbt just becauae ypu have a baby.doesnt mean you give.up on your looks and just not.give a ****. Thats why i hate this app now everyones entitled to their own opinion but some of you women are so damn judgmental and rude about everything its ridiculous.. Someone says they dont want saggy ******* and you act like they dont care about there babys health ANNOYING. Its NORMAL to care about having saggy ******* or having stretch marks.

Yes I know there are more important things than saggy boobs but everyone has there own insecurites and I don't judge that. Well this is one of mine. Plus I'm still breastfeeding no matter what, saggie boobs or not. I just want to know what expect, you know? Thank you ladies for your comments and opinions!, they did help me, this is my second child I didn't breast feed my first I didn't know how still don't but I'm gonna really try can't be that hard right? My boobs did get engorged the first time but not saggy, so I was wondering what breastfeeding made them look like, I'm just curious.

Your boobs sag regardless if you breastfeed or not. Being pregnant causes your boobs to engorge. And after you give birth they engorge even more making them huge a tender. My cousin didnt breast feed and her boobs sag a little due to all the engorgment mine sag slightly but not something that is noticible like omg and I breastfed and will breastfeed my second child

Honestly, I was a tiny saggy already before I got pregnant the first time. I've always had huge boobs and never had much money so I ended up with Wal-Mart clearance bras, which worked great for my b cup sister but not so great for me. Butterflies (the exercise) help tighten your pectoral muscles and perk up your boobies. If you're worried, try those. It's a low impact exercise you can start almost immediately after you give birth, and you can start at any time during your pregnancy.
Good luck mama. Breastfeeding is the best bonding in the world. It's so empowering to know that you can provide your baby with everything they need with one simple action. Babies need cuddles, food, and security, and breastfeeding gives them all of that, plus immunities!

Ur boobs get bigger during pregnancy anywaz and all the hormones can cause saggier boobs not really bfing mine are a little saggier but im also a 36DD so gravity ia gonna be harsh on me anywaz. I agree with independent93 the possibility of saggier boobs shouldn't be a deciding factor and there are MANY MANY reasons why bfing is better than anything besides being made for baby

I'm on baby #3. Breastfeed my first a full year.  Breastfed my second 6mo. When I found out I was pregnant with my third. But my boobs have gone through many changes,  different bra sizes, sagging, & shrinking & enlarging... but all I need is the right bra. Maybe one day I'll get a boob job who knows lol important thing was my baby got the best thing for her. & my hubby never complained. He loves them.

Well that's not all I care about I just wanna be aware of it even if they get saggy which I hear all the time is what happens that's why I ask cause I wanna see if anyone didn't have a bad experience with there boobs looking ugly after, I'm still choosing to breast feed I just wanna be aware of what my boobs will look like after and not be in total shock. I care about my looks and my boobs but I also care way more about baby which is why I'm breastfeeding but I do want to know how boobs will look after, if they look saggy, droopy, deflated, or if your nipples look different or longer from breastfeeding.

You shouldn't worry about your looks u should be worried about your baby being healthy and breastfeeding is the best thing for your baby.. babies are less lilely to get sick then it would to be on formula... if yourr so worried about it being saggy buy and good fitged bra to hold them up proper.. my sister has nice perky boobs and she breast feed both of her kids ..it all depends on the bra.. you will just have big boobs that's all
I'm 34 weeks and I'm definitely gonna breast feed because I know how much it can help my princess
