Q: My Poor Boobs!
asked by: AyaMiyaki on August 14th, 2006
Especially eHealthy
My milk came in yesterday, and my breasts are so engorged! They're rock-hard and sooo tender. And might I mention, porn-star .H.U.G.E! When the engorgement goes away, will they stay this size or shrink a little? I need to buy nursing bras but i'm not sure what size to buy.

(i love my daughter I love my daughter I love my daughter :) )

They'll shrink a little bit - but everyone is different and some women shrink a lot, while others only shrink a little.

Don't forget the nursing pads. They'll save you from leaking all over your shirt!

Wear a bra to bed, it helps keep those 'girls' in place. Also, if you leak, you only leak so far and not all over your bed.

Mine shrunk and now they are even smaller than what they used to be. They have also lost any firmness I once had.

Everyone is different though.

I have worn a bra to bed since I was 8 weeks pregnant...As soon as they got sore I couldn't bare walking around braless anymore. According to halle barry that is the secret to perky breasts. Wear a bra every time of day but during sex and showering.....Interesting....Anyways, I bought a nursing bra recently because it was too cute to pass up, but omg, its too small. Make sure you get the right size, but you may be surprised how much they've grown. I went from a c to a dd!!! Just follow halle berry's law and hopefully they won't start pointing south forever.

.E.D.I.T. ...I wonder what'll happen to me. I'm not even pregnant and i'm a "d". It runs in the family. Do they make f and g's???? Lol.

I wear bras that and make them tighter because I get embarrassed when ppl stare. I'm a short person and only weight about 120 lbs. But have enormous boobs, so ppl (guys) take a few takes, bc they think I got implants, but I don't.

I was a d before I became pregnant and I thought mine would be .H.U.G.E but gladly they only went up one cup size..So just because your big doesnt mean that your going to get wayyyy big..Because some people shrink..Like my mom did...She had big boobs and then after having me they shrunk down two sizes...


But yeah I seriously see a reduction and lift in my future!!!


And when I get one I will probably be the most happiest person in this world because I have always hated having big boobs..It just sucks and they are always in my way

;(

Jill, don't you hate it that whenever you wear a tank top you feel like really skanky or like people stare really bad because your boobs are so big? I hate that so much. &.I hate that .I can't wear anything really cute because they're just so massive. It's sucks so bad.

lmao...I can see myself with a butcher knife. Hahaha.. My husband likes it cuz he squeezes them alot. My boobs hurt around my period time and last month, they hurt so bad and he squeezed. I was pretty moody too, so I grabbed his nippled and twisted and said "how do you like that, huh!!!" then I stepped back from him, and burst out laughing, cuz i've never done anything like that, and I completely caught him by surprise. Kodak moment. (i also thought for sure I was preg. Last month, so I was already on edge)

We went to pick up nursing bras yesterday. Since none of my bras fit me right now, I had to wear the only maternity shirt I own that doesn't require a bra... Which is this black spaghetti-strap number that happens to be a bit low-cut. Anyway, I looked like I was on my way to a street corner somewhere. I was *so embarrassed* having these rock-hard things busting out everywhere. Looks like I have incredibly' implants or something! Thank .God I had a newborn with me to distract people.

I ended up needing d-cup bras. I was a 'b' before and during pregnancy. My husband is so irritated that he can't play with them yet!

the look on his face was priceless. Now he knows that when I say that they hurt...Not to mess with me.

I had to make him a ice cream sunday right after that, because I felt so bad. I twisted pretty hard.

I also went up 2 cups sizes when I had my daughter. One during my pregnancy and another after when my milk came in. I'm still nursing and my breasts go up and down in size depending on when I last nursed, how long it's been between and sometimes I end up with one big one and one smaller one!! I've gotten used to it now. If you find you have a painful engorgment and it too hard for baby to get latched on, I found pumping a bit first really helped my daughter to latch on and then she could get a good suck going. Congratulations on your daughter.
