FTM concerned about breastfeeding help
Don't worry i don't remember my breast getting larger prior to my first. However after i had her say bout day 3 i woke up during th night soaked....and well i had a big set of milk jugs after that. I was a C and bought I think G nursing bras. This round i have noticed a big difference went from C cup to a DD already and i'm only 18wks with 3rd kiddo. I was like Holy Crap!!! I hate to see them after the milk gets here........lol.
Oh the tube sock roll em up boobs!! Haha I lost alot of boob weight too. With my first one my milk came in an I went from a c/d to a g/h. My hubby called me dolly. Lol! I breastfed her for a year. Then my secon one I've stayed in a large bravado nursing bra do about a d/dd. I never got engorged when my milk came in this time. It had been just under a year from the time I stopped nursin the first till the second came. It's a good idea to get lansioh cream and gel pads for soreness, a couple or 5-6 good nursing bras( I love bravado silk seamless), nursing pads ( I love lansioh brand), a nursing sleep bra or gown, and a manual pump. I have successfully breastfed 2 babies so far with no issues. It takes time and some getting use to. Good Luck and take a WIC or hospital breastfeedig class.

Definitly wait until about 2-3 after you milk comes in to buy your nursing bras and, if possible, go to the store while they're pretty full (rather than right after a feeding) so you can get the most comfortable fit. until then, just get a couple of stretchy nursing tank tops and make those work for a bit.

I'm only a B cup because of the skin that is left behind from my weight loss. And, that's a TINY B cup. My cup size didn't increase until I deliverred, they got a bit heavier, but still stayed in a B cup until about a week post-delivery. THEN, they got up to a solid Big C/Small D cup. I had zero issues breastfeeding or having enough milk for her. I had a csection as well, and my boobs started leaking around the 36th week, just colostrum, and Tatum immediately latched after delivery. The csection nor my tiny boobs negatively impacted breastfeeding.
