*star* is on the way
Default Boobs - saggy and stretched

Hi all,

Until recently I thought my boobs would return to somewhat "normal", but I'm losing hope. I'm still BFing DD (15 months) just twice a day, but my boobs are now quite saggy (feel like they're around my waist!!) and the stretch marks are horrible- really thick and etched into my boobs. I feel like my boobs have turned into fried eggs and run down my chest!! I'm not sure what I'll look like once I stop BFing! How am I going to find a bra that can work miracles? Has anyone had any improvement from this kind of thing once they stopped BF?

I have no advice, but can say I can relate. My bb's were about a b-c cup before bf'ing and were nice and perky. Now they're about an e cup though I'm only in the early days of feeding and have put on a fair bit of weight too, but I can't see them ever being anywhere near what they were!

I have to say,I?m suprised at the way mine have held up over the years,lol,after having 5 bubs,they are a little saggier,but they have actually got smaller after the last two pg`s,cant work it out.I think wearing a really good support bra is the key to try keeping some shape and up lifted.
