saggy breasts and breastfeeding

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my second child. The first time I was not prepared for everything that breastfeeding entailed and ended up formula feeding. I would like to try again this time, but I hear that tons of women have saggy, floppy, empty boobs afterwards. I know this is a vain concern, but I just turned 21 and still want to have a young looking body if possible. I understand that sagging is inevitable with age and supposedly pregnancy is what causes the changes, but after my first my breasts were still in almost pre-pregnancy condition afterwards. I just want to know if anyone's boobies bounced back after breastfeeding?

It just depends on the person. There are certain exercises that are for stregthening your pecs which help if your boobs are saggy. Its just the gamble you choose to takeif you want your baby to get the best nutrician the way nature intended.

Breast feeding has nothing to do with the sagging. Drs will tell you is genetics and the rapid hormone and weight loss that does it. If you didn't have an issue with your first kid, you probably won't with your next.

Some women's look better after it depends on the size you are now from what I was told if you have larger breast probably won't bother them much apparently its the smaller breasts that become saggy who knows tho everyone is different
