Hi Becca, I can relate well to you, eventhough I'm 22 I have a 5 year old that I breastfed and I was a 32A before pregnancy, I was probably 102 pounds soaking wet and I'm 5'1. Now I struggle to stay below 130! I use to be able to eat whatever I wanted and however much I wanted, now, I have to watch proportions, calories, fat, etc. I exercise and struggle to maintain my 125 weight. If I don't work out or watch my eating I get to 130 quick. While pregnant I got to a 34C, after breastfeeding went down to a 34B then after losing my pregnancy weight I went back down to a 32A (which was kinda loose in the cups so I was probably a AA) but I would wear extremely padded 32B bras. My breasts before pregnancy were round and perky, after they had a weird shape, saggy, and to top it off I had stretch marks on the cleavage area! I started my NBE journey when I was 18, so 4 1/2 years ago, and I tried some crap that didn't work, I worked hard to get my breasts back. I was mainly shooting for my pre pregnancy size as well, but my nipples (areolas I should say) had gotten so big that when I get back to a 32A it didn't look right with the bigger nipples. Now I'm a 32C, I no longer have that "slope" to them, through skin brushing and cocoa butter my stretch marks are less noticeable. As far as those who have breastfed and been pregnant, it seems pumping is one of the best things. I personally use a noogleberry pump, so do many ladies on this forum, and noogleberry has a forum of it's own you can check out. I take a BO (bovine ovary) supplement called Ultra Breast, others here do as well, and some take Bountiful Breast and have seen good results, which is also a BO supplement. I tried herbs before and they didn't agree with my system, so that is very individual, and you have to find the right combination of herbs in the right quantities for your body. Massage is definitely a MUST for NBE! Whenever I took something in the past and didn't know to massage, I didn't grow. When I did massage the growth was much better and it helps to round your breasts while they are growing, and well it's best for breast health, it prevents cancer as well! So many benefits to it! Oh and as far as lifting the breasts and getting your "perk" back, the best thing I did for this before I tried noogleberry was chest exercises, I actually have and use the Easy Curves device, I've had mine 2 years and I feel it keeps them perky and helps the cleavage. So chest exercises are very good, think of the movie "Grease" when the girls had their palms together trying to make their boobies grow lol it doesn't make them grow persay, but it does keep them lifted and firm! Mine almost look like I've had implants done lol I've been asked by family if I got small implants installed lol. Either way I hope you find what is best for you, just read through the forum and go with what you draw to the most and give it a try! Just know you aren't alone here.
