Q for the BTDT BFing mommies - help!

NortheastWifey · #1 June 18th, 2009, 06:27 PM

Okay, so how long are my bbs going to be ginormous!? Haha! Normally I'm a 36C but I'm about an E at least right now. I have a wedding I'm in at the end of August and normally I wear a size 6 dress. I ordered an 8 and 10 thinking my bbs wouldn't fit in a 6 even if by some miracle my waist does. Well... I tried the dresses on last night and there isn't even a prayer for the 10 fitting my bbs right now. Will they go down at all by the end of August? I'm a week and a half into BFing so I'm not sure if they'll just stay like this until I start BFing less or what.

That's too funny because I have the same exact question. I go see the lactation people at the docs office tomorrow so I will ask them too Hollie. I'll let ya know. Man, I sure hope you fit into that dress....E really???? That's just crazy!

I know every person's body is different. My bb's are just a cup size and a half bigger than before I got pg and aren't all that ginormous. They have not changed much in size since Elliott was born. My BFF's bb's didn't shrink back to a 'normal' size until after she stopped BF'ing.

I don't wanna be a downer, Hollie. Check into the seams and see if there is extra material. If so, a good tailor might be able to accommodate your bb's in the dress you already have. It's worth a shot, anyway!

around 6 weeks is when your supply evens out usually. Good luck!!

Everything seems to level off around 6 weeks: milk supply, hormones get closer to "normal", etc..

It totally depends on the person. They hopefully will go down some. You may need to see about getting the dress taken out on top, though. I would wait until 6-8 weeks if you can.

Personally, I'm hoping mine stay, but that's because I was an A when I got preggo, and they didn't grow during pregnancy, so I'm psyched to be a C!

Good to know. Thanks, ladies. I do have a great seamstress so I'll let her know in case of emergency.

I was always a 34B, then I went to a 38D, now since 8 weeks pp I am a 36C, I think my ribcage is shrinking again, so I�d like to be a 34 again.

I always thought big boobs would be great, but I�ve changed my mind!
