Hi Newmomma 
You have a nice support group of ladies supporting you here! And I'd have to agree with prettylilly as my experience is a lot like hers. I seem to FEEL the changes before the measuring tape shows anything.... usually the measuring tape is the last thing to show! So don't get wrapped up or worried about your measurements, as they are overrated and everyone seems to have different experiences with it anyway.
And yeah, the bra sounds like the band width was definitely too big, so maybe you should order a bra online that is a 30A... or, honestly, given your underbust measurement, I would say that you are at least a 28, and with a 28 from your photos I don't think you'd be a 28A, but more like a 28B would be my guess. But don't quote me on that! Once you find something that fits, it makes a world of a difference and you will feel so much better I am sure you know how important it is to find something that fits, so it might be worth investing some time trying on these bra sizes that are difficult to find in stores.
But yeah hun, just as everyone else said, do not think you are not curvy because you certainly are! Petite and curvy, and a nice flat tummy to boot
Love yourself as you are, and think of NBE as a simple hobby just to embellish, and you will be so happy We all get those days where we feel like crap, so it is important in those moments to remember that it is all just in our heads. And it really is.
