2nd time moms, we're you able to get back down to your original bra size? Or did your ribcage stay widened? I know our hips generally stay wider with each kid but idk about ribs. With my first I went back to my original bra size pretty quickly even with the extra weight, but this time around I'm still at a 36 band size at almost 5 months pp and idk wether to just tough it out in unflattering sports bras or just prepare to shop for all new bras.

@Amber I'm struggling right now 😩 I've only been wearing sports bras and it's just like a saggy boob log under my t shirts. I'm still alot heavier but jfc I just want my boobies to be sittin nice

I’ve found that my old bras are incredibly uncomfortable. I cannot wear a single underwire bra. I’m living in sports bras and my old nursing bras.

@Breanna I hear ya! I'm still only wearing nursing bras.

@Kandis also living in sports bras, at the beginning it was a relief cause they were like an h cup, but now I'm sitting around the 36dd range and it just feels so unflattering. And then looking at the bras available at that size is just so frustrating

2nd time mom and finished nursing a couple months ago!
So my rib cage widened (I also gained weight) and it didn’t go down.. but then after nursing number 2..my cup size went up a lot and that shrunk down to my original size from before pregnancy..so long story short I’m in my pre (his) pregnancy bras

@Raquel this is my last, I shrunk down maybe an inch in the last 5 months. I was really hoping to get back to my 34dd bras

36G before pregnancy. They grew to an I dunno what. Shrunk to a 36DDD when my milk dried up and now I feel like I’m right back where I started but just saggy now. I hate it. Literally the only bra to make them look somewhat normal is the nursing bras we bought in the beginning.

@Kandis nursing bras give me no support at all :/ I really just want to find a good light push up, but everything is "minimizer". I'm not trying to hide them or smush them.

It took me over a year to get back to my normal band size.
