Over the past 5 years I have been in and out of various bra sizes, types and styles. I went to the mall determined to find the right bra, not an easy or fun task at this point.

During pregnancy I went up 2 cups sizes, moved into the breastfeeding bra, and then back to my regular bra. Now 2 kids and 2 rounds of breastfeeding later my bras have had enough and no longer choose to do their job.

 (Not me but a nice breastfeeding bra.)

I blamed the bras at first and went to a bra fitter to determine why my comfortable old favorites were no longer doing the trick of holding up my girls. Much to my dismay it was my boobs that took a big hit after breastfeeding.

It seems that my bra was not to blame and Mother Nature had played a cruel trick on me. My perky C cup had regressed to a not so perky B cup and to add insult to injury I am lopsided.

 (Obviously not me - she is still perky and not lopsided! Or it is the bra??)

I stood in the dressing room while she found the right bra for "my situation" and began to curse Mother Nature. I had gone through 2 pregnancies and provided milk for my boys who are now incredibly healthy and strong. I did my job and am somehow still being punished with lopsided, not so perky, smaller boobs.

I was a bit miffed at the entire bra situation and decided to call my friends to commiserate. The first friend that I called said that she went up a cup size after breastfeeding and that even though they are not as perky they are visibly bigger.

That did not help and I was getting mad! I called one more friend and she was my saving grace. She too went down a cup size and mentioned being less than perky. She does not have my lopsided issue but at least we can complain together and curse our big breasted friend!

I did give in to the bra fitter and bought the right bra for "my situation". Unfortunately my situation requires a pricey bra with an insert. It does appear to have solved my bra fitting issue; it only took a few hundred dollars, a hit to my ego and a call to a friend to get through the post breastfeeding boob blues.

Off to make another Mommy Milestone.
