Boob worries

So this is my first pregnancy late in life.
I was super flat chested before I became pregnant but now I have boobs!! 😂
This is going to sounds super selfish but I’m worried about my boobs after pregnancy / later down the line.
Will I lose them again and go flat chested?
Will they be there but go flat / just skin?

I’m
Planning on trying breast feeding but unsure if that would make them worse or better in the long run?

Anyone have any advice for boobs?
Let’s hear your stories xx

I was flat chested, got massive boobs (both at 23 when pregnant and 32 when pregnant with my second baby) my boobs just went in between. Haha they are alright tbh. I didn’t breastfeed though. My hubby says they are bigger than before I’m just a big B now but was defo just an A before. Went to DD when pregnant. xx (as they have gone down a lot, they aren’t saggy as not big enough to be saggy) if that makes sense haha xx

They're there to feed your bubba, when it comes to it, you won't care about the end outcome just that it's giving LO what they need and bonding the 2 of you x x

Mine went bigger in pregnancy but I never breastfeed either of mine and unfortunately they have gone back down to how they were before x

I was also quite flat chested pre-pregnancy and gained decent amount during :) now 9 weeks pp (im breastfeeding, but dont have a lot of milk - tho dont think that matters) and my boobs have deflated a bit since pregnancy but still not as flat as they were before :) i heard other women remained with the enlarged boobs even later after birth (most didnt breastfeed)

Mine were big before, I tried to breastfeed but didn't have a good supply. They're defo bigger now x x

Mine were tiny before, then huge during pregnancy and up to bf about 6 months then went back to maybe a big b until I got pregnant again. I'm 3months pp still breastfeeding ( only took a stop breastfeeding my first when I was 4months pregnant, he was 15months) . Boobs went huge again, still big now. But I'd imagine they'll be droopy and saggy by the time in done feeding my 2nd. When they are empty there is a lot of excess skin 😫🙈😅

I didn’t get any boobs at all during pregnancy, lol. But they have been fuller and really nice since my milk came in. I like them, and hope I don’t lose them. I always intended on breastfeeding, but when the boobs came in, I almost didn’t want to because I thought doing so would shrink them instantly. 🤣

Mine were already big and now they are ridiculous but I’ve kind of got the same concerns 🙈 in some ways I would love to end up smaller so I can get cheaper bras but I also feel like I would look weird now 😅
There isn’t much we can do about it and no way to tell so I would try not to worry too much ❤️

I don’t think it’s selfish. Call me vain but I do care what my boobs will look like after and also worry about this lol 🤷🏽‍♀️

I think they go back to your normal size but might be a different shape. I feel like I am flatter chested now but when my first born was 2 I measured pretty much the same size just needed a different style bra as my boobs sat differently after 2 years of breastfeeding. With the right size and shape bra I am sure you would feel content and confident with your boobs

I went from big to ridiculously huge for my body size. I breastfed and they have maintained size but taken on a new shape. A bit saggy but hey, I have a smart healthy 3 year old so it was worth it! But I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the pre pregnancy boobs. Lol

Im quite small and have breast fed meny kids and when I go long enough with out being pregnant I do go prity flat like semi deflated balloons hahaha every one is different but yes I would say good chance u could go back at least partially flat if not back to where u were

@Alex lots of people care about how their boobs look after pregnancy, whether they breastfeed or not. Nothing wrong with that. Just like some care about stretch marks or caection scars.

Before my first I was an A, after my 5th I'm a DD. Most likely I'll end in a C again once I'm done nursing and have lost the pregnancy weight again. Everyone's experience will be different, but for sure I think women who were tiny fair better in the long run 🤷 and in terms of being selfish.. breastfeeding is healthy for you as well as baby and reduces the risk of breast cancer 🎀

Mine hang and I breastfeeding fed both for 2 years. But with a few techniques they are peeking up again. I was pretty flat but they didn't completely deflate. My husband doesn't care either way though ( Although he has mentioned if he was rich he wouldn't mind a boob job to make them big again....I went from a B-D)

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
