Sitting there with a beautiful baby bump, you might be thinking ahead about what will happen when after giving birth.What will your post pregnancy body look like?And specifically; What will happen to your post pregnancy breasts?
Will I get saggy breasts?
Well, at first, if you breastfeed, your breasts will be larger than ever. They will be full, possibly somewhat tender (particularly in the beginning) and they might leak. But in any case you will have a really nice cleavage. As like mine,from 35D to 36Double D during 45days of confinement and my latest measurement is 35D back to static.But mine are just nice-of course sag a little bit..Better contoure than before I think..
But then…
After weaning your baby or if you decide not to breastfeed, the appearance of your breasts will take another route.Many women worry that breastfeeding will cause their breasts to sag. Based on my experience..Its NOT TRUE!But,pregnancy will cause your breasts to sag and late in pregnancy is the biggest factor.
Since Ive been friendly requested by my blogger friend to discuss about this entry,I did a research on recent study, indicates that breastfeeding is not a predictor of saggy breasts.The study included 93 women of which 58% had a history of breastfeeding. 55% of the women noticed an adverse change in breast shape after pregnancy. And the breasts tend to sag more depending on the woman's age(first pregnancy on 30 above had the highest risk of breast sagging), higher BMI, greater number of pregnancies, larger pre pregnancy breasts and with smoking during breastfeeding(Silly-Memang cari pasal,kan). Breastfeeding could not be found as an independent risk factor for sagging breasts.
Now, if you're wondering what to do about your saggy breasts, breast augmentation such as implants and lifts are definately the most effective (but not very natural) way of breast enhancement. This is however expensive and has risks. I am totally disagree with this methods..
Unfortunately, pills and creams have very poor scientific evidence to actually make a difference in firming the breasts. Exercise may help a lot, as well as dealing with possible stretch marks that also affect the appearance of your boobs.As for me,during my pre and post confinement; I always put on my corsett/sports bra/nursing bra to tackle the contoure of my breast.I exercise yoga,body stretching and my husband used to massage them with breast enhancement mask after my shower.And its work!
There are so many factors that effect your breast that it cannot be put down just to breastfeeding.Remember,pregnancy makes your breasts grow and loosens/stretches the ligaments. Breastfeeding has nothing to do with it. If you've been pregnant, you will probably sag a bit ,specially if you're 30 and above... Unless you have really good genes.
If you do breastfeed and you do not support the babies weight very well, allowing it to pull down on your breast as it feeds -.Then I would say it could become a contributing factor to sagging of your breasts.However, I think that the three biggest factors that contribute to breast sagging would be age, having large breast during puberty and weightloss.Other things would be genetics, wearing an incorrect bra size, sleeping on your stomach, poor diet, not exercising.Lots of things which would each effect individuals differently.So, yes, it is a myth that makes them sag - But there is some truth that it can contribute if not done properly.Wears the right bra!!And do not sleep with tight/wired bras!Let them free!!
Breast feeding actually helps you easily lose weight(with proper diet and exercises), and its great for your baby.Your breast are definitely wont sag!
