My impression is, about the same, maybe a hair smaller. With a tendency to be signifiantly less perky, assuming one was perky before. Assuming you stay at the same weight you were pre-pregnancy.

I am actually bigger now than I was before I stopped nursing 3 weeks ago. But then, I'm also 4 months pregnant.

ETA I should also note, that if you bf for an extended time, by the time you're past say 15 months, your size has mostly gone pack to pre-pregnancy, in my experience/observation.

Happy birthday Laura!

vw is awesome. She knows why.

Oh, for the love of Pete...

Does anyone know how to get cheap gumball gum off of teeth? I have it stuck (mostly to the fillings) of two of my upper molars. Very annoying.

eta: Cancel that! Ice has done the trick. No more cheap gum for me.

Loving the pics of the dresses and jackets and corsets, though. Gorgeous clothes aren't annoying in the least.

Question for those who have breastfed (or anyone who knows)...when I'm done nursing, what will happen to my breast size?

A lot of women wind up a cup size smaller. Some, like my mother, wind up larger (pleasedon'tletthatbeme). Others stay the same.

I figured the less perky part was a given, sadly.

This is mostly what I'm trying to figure out. Because I have nursed primarily just on one side, I'm very lopsided now. No one else seems to notice but it makes me really self-conscious in public. I'm trying to decide if I should get a custom made bra, which looks really expensive, or just get some sort of insert to fill up the smaller bra cup. I'm just getting tired of always having bunchy fabric over one cup. Maybe if size stays about the same, I should just find something to make them even for now.

What brand nursing bra are you wearing, and is the size difference more than a cup?

The ones I like the most say "Q-T Maternity" on them - I think I got them from Motherwear or Expressiva. The cup size is pretty different - a D on the left and a B on the right.

Happy Birthday, Laura!

sj, you might be right to wait until you know about your moving situation, but I agree with what BHP said. And I'm saying this as someone who has had about 5 therapists in her lifetime so far...

Went to the doctor and she confirmed I had a sinus infection. Said she was prescribing penicillin so I didn't ask any questions. When I got to the pharmacy, I was asked for a $25 co-pay. They told me it wasn't actually penicillin she prescribed but an anti-biotic that has no generic equivalent. Whee. But I didn't have the energy to fight. Now I've grabbed some KFC because I didn't have the patience to deal with hauling all my crap somewhere (I have 40 lbs of crap with me, easily). I'm hanging out at my ex's because the construction guys have got the run of my place and I don't find that very restful.

The good news is that I got on anti-depressants 2 months ago so I'm probably handling it all better with than I would have without.

Tweaked my back and am sneezing and dripping like mad. If my body wanted me to just sit my ass down and stop doing stuff, it couldn't have sent a clearer memo. Have medicated. If it works, I am hunting down and slaying the dust demon.
