I think it depnds on how old you are too. My friend was 19 when she had her first and was skinny again within weeks. She had her second at 26 and although still young it took her a while to get her figure back.

I was a 34B before my 3 kids and a size 10. Im now a size 12 with 36DD boobs and i love them :-) Got a few stretch marks on the top of my thighs but they have faded well and only a couple on my stomach. I wont be wearing belly tops anytime soon but look fine in a tankini so i can live with that.

Does pregnancy really shrink your boobs? I've read and heard it does, and I'm a tad bit concerned about this. I've also read it widens your hips permanently and makes your bum flat.

Should I look forward to this happening?

If you ladies can give me a little bit of advice, please do!

I can only answer from my own experience.. before kids I had C cups.. after the first 2 I ended up with A cups once I stopped breast feeding and my milk dried up. Pregnancy does tend to effect your boobs but you never know if it's going to make them larger or smaller because it varies from woman to woman.

My hips went back to the same size as before and I must brag that right before I got pregnant this time I had a fabulous butt!

The hips and butt I worked hard on though! Not sure if things will get back in shape this time but I'm not too worried about it anymore. I spent enough time worrying over my looks and I'm done with all that!

i've gained four and a half stone throughout pregnancy, i havent weighed myself since giving birth but i lost at least 20 lbs by having him! My boobies are definitely gonna be saggier than before but shrinking? I doubt it, if anything theyre bigger!! Hips are fatter yeah but only til i lose the weight

I thought my boobs seemed smaller and less firm than pre-pregnancy (after I stopped expressing), but since my old bras fit I guess they aren't. I'd just got used to my pregnancy boobs and forgotten how tiny they were to begin with.

lol My hips are the same but my fat seems to sit on my sides more now rather than my front, which makes my stomach look flatter but gives me muffin top! My butt hasn't changed, and I'm pretty sure my feet haven't gotten any bigger. It's different for everyone though!

Everyones different. My boobs definately aren't as firm as they used be. I also suffered quite bad with stretch marks. The bio oil and cocoa butter didn't help. My mum after 3 children has never really suffered with stretch marks.
