Alphabet Soup
Before I got pregnant, I was solid C cup. When I shopped for a nursing bra about a month post-partum, I was almost a DD. This week, when I went to Victoria’s Secret to treat myself to a “my boobs are my own again bra,” the sales girl measured me as a 34 A. AN A.
I haven’t been an A since t

Jennifer told me she read that while breastfeeding we lose the fat in our breasts in order to make room for milk. This makes sense. My question for all of you is—will it (and they) come back?
Note: I actually don't dislike the way I look with my petite new boobs, I just want to know if I should get used to them or expect more changes.

Mine are smaller. I was a large D cup before pregnant - went up to an E during that engorgement period - but settled back to a D once my milk regulated.
Now I'm done (and have been done) I'm a comfortable C. I don't think, at this point, it's going to come back - unless they fill up with milk again LOL!
Well, as someone who went from a D pre- and during pregnancy to an H while nursing, I can't WAIT until they shrink! Thanks for some light at the end of the tunnel!
Wow - I didn't know that they shrink! I went from a D to an H/I currently. I'd love to go back to my original size (if only so I can buy bras in actual stores again) but I'm not really looking forward to shrinking more than that. :(
I am actually hoping to have smaller boobies when I'm done with nursing. I have noticed that they have shrunk a little and I'm thankful for it. They were really out of hand when Baby Mo was born! It was outrageous! Maybe I'll be that perfect B I've always dreamed of being! I'm just hoping they'll point forward and not floor-ward!
Glad to be able to offer some hope to you ladies! And as far as "forward vs floor-ward" so far, I'm all good in that department :)
