Boobs in pregnancy after breastfeeding until BFP

Hi there,

I am 9+1. I BF my son (16 months) until I got my BFP, but we were down to 3-4 a week, only really because he was waking at 5am & it kept him in our bed until 5.30! I stopped BFing once I got my BFP. Since being pg this time there has been no changes in my boobs at all - size, pain, appearance etc... I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this, if it was linked to the BFing and if so why?!

Sorry for so many questions but I remember there being some real BFing experts in here when in was starting out with my DS!

Congrats on your bfp. I've just had mine too, and am due early April. I stopped bf about 7 weeks ago, and my boobs haven't yet returned to their pre-pg size. I haven't noticed much difference apart from them being a bit sore. I really hope they won't expand as much as they did last time, as I went up 3 cup sizes. I really don't want to go up another 3!!

Hiya ladies...I was wondering if you could offer a little advice....I gave birth on April 9th this year at 38 weeks, unfortunately my beautiful Chloe was still born, so therefore I never breastfed or expressed. After my milk came in it dried up within 2 weeks and as far as I know hasn't leaked since (not that I have noticed). We are trying again and I'm 8dpo now (in the dreaded 2 week wait) but my boobs have begun to leak slightly....so my question is A-Nonny had your milk dried up in the 7 weeks before your BFP? and has it returned since? It's too early to test yet but I'm wondering whether it is a sign I might be getting a BFP soon (fingers crossed!)

Sorry to hear of your loss Sparkles, what a difficult time for you.

My milk dried up fairly quickly, but I was down to one feed a day so probably didn't have much anyway.

I didn't notice any leaking etc before my bfp, but then I didn't start leaking until I was about 33 weeks with my dd, and then only a little bit.

Fingers crossed that you get your bfp soon xxx
