Sorry for the picture of a drawing. I was going to scan it but I can’t figure out that junk.
Just to be clear here, Not complaining. Tru is worth weird boobs. Definitely.
So, My boobs have changed a lot over the last year. I have never been a very buxom lass in my lifetime save for the few weeks immediately following giving birth. At which time my boobs grew from a humble C to a mighty bigger than DD but I couldn’t find a bigger than DD bra. Which didn’t matter because I didn’t wear a bra. Or a shirt for that matter. And my boobs are usually just barely Bs so the massive stretching that they underwent in what seemed to be a matter of hours left then with some hefty stretch marks. The left one more so. My right boob defies the law of being identical when one is situated within mere inches of your twin. I now have one very droopy C lefty and a less stretch marked and more alert B righty. It’s comical. I have to wear a pushup on just the right side to even them out. It looks extremely awkward otherwise. As in, it has been pointed out. So these are the changes my boobs have made. Pre-pregnancy: “My boobs are so small. I wish I had bigger boobs!” Pregnancy: “Finally! But I had hoped for a bit more than this. I just hope it lasts.” Post partum: “I take it all back! Big boobs are not for me. These things are lumpy and they HURT!!!” Now: “No Mom, I’m not trying to draw a picture of a man part! That’s my deflated boob!”
When I lay down on my back, they just kind of roll off to the sides and snuggle with my armpits. When I run, they don’t bounce up and down, they flap back and forth. They are fluid and remind me of jello that is just starting to set up. They will fall out of an unsupportive bra. Read: sports bra. Which I never liked before. The song, Do your boobs hang low? Do they jiggle to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier? Do your boobs hang low? fits. All that and more!
Right there with you, only I went from a very lowly A to I don’t know what but much bigger. I love the size right now (not engorgement so much) so I dread weaning and the resulting unset jello-ness and shrinking.

Lol. Yes, Tru is nursing so little right now I doubt if I am making more than 8oz a day so they are pretty deflated! My mom swears they will bounce back a bit. I doubt it… But that’s ok. It’s not like I ever use them for anything. 😉

Lol! My friend with 4 kids now says her boobs are like wet socks. 🙂

Lol. Yep! Pretty much! I don’t know how much worse they are just because of breast feeding or if this would have pretty much happened either way. At any rate, nobody ever sees them so it’s all good. 😉

Yes, the boob changes are weird. I was a late bloomer but once I got boobs they were good ones (big, round and dense). When I was pregnant with my twins in 2011/12 they got bigger and soft. And once I lost the twins they just deflated and now they’re soft and saggy and I still haven’t had a full-term pregnancy. I can’t imagine what they’d be like after breastfeeding. Hopefully your mismatched sizes will even out over time. The stretch marks should fade as well. They don’t go away, but they’ll get less noticeable. There’s a movie (can’t remember the name of it or the exact quote at this moment) where Cameron Diaz is in a fitting room lifting her arms over her head to get her boobs to stand up where they used to be saying “22” and then dropping her arms and saying “28”. It’s funny and I think of that all the time… gravity is a bitch.

hah!! That is a great quote! I do that sometimes too. As long as the sizes even out someday, I can certainly live with the stretch marks. The stretch marks are already looking better than a few months ago. I really doubt they will ever perk back up but it was bound to happen someday with or without breast feeding. Thanks gravity. lol.
