Feel Pretty Again

I have heard from many moms that once they went back on birth control pills that their volume came back. Something about the hormones. I also know that there are some multivitamins for women that have a high concentration of Estrogen (but from plants, therefore a natural source of Estrogen). Neither of these worked for me, but I know many moms and they went right back to normal.

I am back to my normal pre-pregnancy weight, but did lose almost a cup size in the breast area due to breastfeeding. It bothered me at first, but I then think of the benefits I gave my daughter by feeding her. I just wear extra padded bras now or tops that compliment the non-existence boobs. My husband has 3 sisters who are all flat chested, so he is not a boob man and could care less about that. I think he was more concerned if I was going to lose the tummy, which for the most part I did.

They always say 9 months to put on the weight, 9 months to take it off. I lost most of my baby weight after about 4 months but held onto the last 5 lbs or so until just now (my son is going to be 9 months in a week). I'm shaped differently than I was before, though - less of a waist. I am still breastfeeding, so I'm still much larger than my usual small B. But I can tell already that once I stop there won't be much left of my breasts. My belly button's weird too, but I stopped worrying about that :) I chalk it all up to a badge of motherhood. Once you're sure you're done having kids, you can always go and get your breasts "perked" up again if you still want. Not much point in doing it before they're done doing their job though.

post nursing tends to deflate - sorry to say, I don't know about just "gaining weight" per se. Good luck!

reading your post was almost like reading my own thoughts.i had twins 11 months ago. pumpued for about 3 months. thn the milk was gone and so were my "boobies". i used to be DD, now i'm a full C. thats 2 SIZES!!!!
i feel funny about the way my breasts look now, though my husband tells me that i have nothing to worry about - i think he is just being nice.
i tell my girfriends that it's a chore putting a bra on now: since my boods are down to my knees i have to roll them up before i can "place" then into the bra cups. so i/we just laugh about it.
i also lost a lot of waight wile pregnant with the twins. for 7 out of almost 8 months i could hardly eat or drink anything.
thn i guess from feeling kind of blue i also didnt eat very much. i was really skinny at first. my skin even, i think looks worse thn it ever did.
so last week i realized that i need to start eating better/healthier. may be you should try that , too, before you take any kind of pills. give your body some time. my one friend actually told me that her breast went back to her normal size in less thn 2 years. while some women tell me that it never went back to original size.
i am just trying to take better care of my body and learn to be ok with it as iy is. on my bluest days i just think of my sweet, sweet girlies and how it's all worth it.
enjoy your baby and good luck to you !
