Yes, you're hugely bigger for a couple of days when the milk first comes in but then they adjust downward. [Some women's breasts get permanently larger after pregnancy and breastfeeding - some women's shrivel. Another of those fascinating maternity facts.]Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680687031479016392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-88169483059807876852011-04-01T11:41:57.395+11:002011-04-01T11:41:57.395+11:00You look fantastic, if that is any consolation, th...You look fantastic, if that is any consolation, though I can imagine how upsetting the bra episode must have been.
