32 weeks and shrinking boobs - anyone else??

[Elodie]

Hi

So over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that my boobs aren't as full and seem pretty much back to how they were pre pregnancy. They grew dramatically in first and second tri but now seem to have shrunk!

I've been measuring my tummy circumference each week and that has been going up normally, fundal height is measuring a week ahead, baby is measuring 1-2 weeks ahead, so I'm not worried about the baby's growth. I'm putting it down to the fact that over the last few weeks I haven't been eating as much as there isn't much space left! Also my weight gain has slowed down over the last few weeks after stacking it on in 2nd tri.

I am slightly concerned about this though, as I'm hoping it won't mean that there might be issues with being able to breastfeed.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I thought this the other day when I saw the cup of my bra was loose. I've started leaking small amounts of milk but my breasts have definitely gone back to pre-pregnancy size.

Yep! Mine got bigger and firmer in 1st trimester but then went back to normal and haven't grown since. I hope they will produce some milk at the end

Hey ladies, I'm not pregnant right now, but the same thing happened to me in my pregnancies. I had severe hyperemesis and lost so much weight everywhere- including my breast, but after the baby my milk came in great and breast filled back out.

I wouldn't worry, I think you ladies will be fine!

right there with you, except mine didn't grow early pregnancy - they're shrinking from what they were pre-pregnancy. I have IGT, though, so I just chalk it up to that. it's annoying, though - seems like every other pregnant mom in the world gets a bigger chest whereas my pregnancy clothes look droopy up top where they are supposed to be fuller.
