Boobs while breastfeeding, and after...

Not sure if this has been asked before but, I was wondering what to expect of my boobs while breastfeeding. I am 1 wk 1 day pp and since last tues. my breast have been extremely engorged but since yesterday I have been feeling some relief ..they arent as painful or as uncomftorable as they were a week ago...so now I am kind of starting to enjoy my new bra size  
Pre pregnancy I was a 32 b..during pregnancy I was a 34c and now I am in a D cup..
So once the engorment is completely gone..what will my boobs be like while breastfeeding..will I always have this full feeling? Will they stay this bigger size while breastfeeding? and once I am done breastfeeding, what can I expect? I hear they suddenly shrivel up and shrink...but I am sure there are cases in which this has not happened\
Also..once my boobs have regulated a milk supply..will I be confined to wearing nursing pads all the time or will the leakage and spraying slowely go away?

Thanks for the help ladies!!

*watching*

its genetic on whether or not they look good...

i went from a b to a d and now that im done b/f my boobs are flat and saggy like im a 70 yrs old woman...IM 19!!

Ive been bfing for almost 4 months. I still have to wear nipple pads (theyre like a sprinkler system lol)
they dont feel 'full' anymore unless I go a long time w/out feeding or pumping. theyre still the same size as pp,
but im curious what happens when you stop...
hope that helps!

interested in what those in the know have to say.

well I feel like I have beaten the odds already with not getting any stretchmarks during my pregnancy (considering how terribly my mom had them)
But I just dont know how lucky I am going to keep getting lol..

Either way I am still going to breastfeed I just dont want to get all excited about my new "implants" if the arent going to stick around for long!!

But here is another question for those of you who have been breastfeeding for awhile now...
Once me and hubby are able to have sex again...will he still be able to touch and play with them like he used to...or would this just cause a milk mess? lol

i breastfed my other kids up to 10 months and they still leaked. as for sagging, every woman i know has said breastfeeding has done that to their breasts. idk if its genetics or not...im thinking its not.

Mine only ever feel really full to me first thing in the morning because my daughter is sleeping 7 1/2 hours in a shot (we are 3 months 1 week right now) But then, I never experienced being engorged in the first 2 weeks... It's always been the way it is now.
I still need to wear nursing pads constantly or risk leaking (usually don't bother if I am home and in jammies and don't care if I get wet since I can just change my shirt, but I tend to waterfall often and end up doing a lot of laundry ^^;)
I also went from a B to a D (At least, I think I am a D... I spill out of the D a bit at times it seems, but don't want to get measured as I am afraid I will spray the poor person doing it XD) I already tend to sag a bit when I am not full, but no clue what will happen afterward.

And of course since I am talking about the subject I just letdown and my shirt has wet spots now XD

I have breastfed all mine and they sag now. My husband likes to say the titty fairy visited me when my milk first comes in. Trust me it does not stay!

It causes a lot of mess for some people from what I have heard... I couldn't tell you... My libido took a hike after giving birth and hasn't returned yet... (And I am not one for obligatory ^^;)

If ive just pumped or fed mav its okay... otherwise i almost always keep a bra on... theyll leak, which isnt very sexy!

lol..sorry for your wet spots..
I love breastfeeding...but damn its a mess!
I think I am still trying to get the hang of things and how to handle these boobs b/c after every feeding I end up covered in breast milk and so does baby..lol

Im the same way! Im way too embarassed by my own personal sprinkler system to get sized but cant seem to really fit well into even a D... Im a size 5 jrs jeans and just have a hard time believing my boobs are really that big!

im gettin a boob job so they wont look like that too much onger

I am soooo with you on that...I made sure my hubby new my intentions that if my boobs do turn saggy I will be wanting a boob job and he obviously had no objections! lol
