A recent study in the Asethetic Surgery Journal looked at identical twins' breasts for signs of aging. What they found surprised even the researchers - breastfeeding keeps your breasts looking younger! Nursing along with daily moisturizing and hormone replacement therapy were all found to be associated with healthier looking breasts. So what caused breasts look look "older"? Drinking, smoking, and pregnancy. Pregnancy has long been held as the culprit for what changes breasts, rather than breastfeeding, though this is not the first study to show that pregnancy is what causes changes to the breasts. Most pregnant women will tell you that breast changes are among the first pregnancy symptoms they experience.
What breast changes did you have in pregnancy? How do you feel about your postpartum breasts?

I went from a barely B to a DDD+ in a matter of weeks when I got pg with my first. Itchy and often painful with lots of strech marks. After two closely spaced pg and 3 1/2 years of bf two babies I stayed a D+ even at my pre-pg weight. The stretch marks faded and I actually like my post-baby look.
I’m on my third baby and I am still a B cup…no hope there lol
I just had my 3rd baby. I always go from an A to a D, but I always return back to an A also. So I have these stretched out saggy boobs that I hate…
i ve gone frm E to HH and prayin dat it goes bak.
1st baby went from barely a b to a double d. Then they went back down to a c. They look a little saggier but not bad. Now with this pregnancy they’re already filling out my c cup to the point of bulging :/
