Why did this happen to my friend and not me?!
Question: I feel really bad for my friend. She had a baby and gained 70 pounds. She wore a size A bra before her baby and was up to a C cup right after delivery. Her baby will be a year old in April and she has lost every bit of her weight. The only problem is her chest looks awful. Her breasts look like a pair of knee highs with one golf ball dropped into each. Horrendous. I was a 34 C before both of my kids and I breast fed one for 10 months. I was up to a DD while breast feeding and am now a 34D. I have about 10 pounds to lose to be at my pre-pregnancy weight. My chest looks almost the same as it always has. But I think it could be because I have always has real round breasts. I don't know. My question is why did this happen to her? Could she have prevented it? Will it happen to me if I lose weight?

Every woman is different. There is no way to know if that will happen to you if you lose weight, but my guess would be no, especially if you only have ten pounds left to lose.
It is possible that her breasts were affected differently because her original breast size was much smaller, so it probably wouldn't happen the same way to you.
Chances are, she probably couldn't have prevented it, either. Women gain different amounts of weight when they're pregnant, and there are many ranges of healthy. I haven't gained anything, but I'm already obese, so it's not unhealthy for me to gain little or no weight during pregnancy. If your friend was normal or underweight, gaining 70lbs could be perfectly healthy for her.
Pregnancy will change the breasts, no matter how much weight you gain, so the only way she might have been able to prevent it would be not getting pregnant at all, and there's no guarantee that age or weight gain/loss wouldn't have done the same thing eventually.
It's one of the joys you go through being pregnant! After delivery, they really do go down hill! Consider yourself lucky, girl! =)
Well, what I would do is ask the doctor that if that will happen to you and why it happened to her. The doctor knows everything about bodies and diseases of all types.
everyone's body's are different. It's normal.
It's all about genetics and everyone is different
She couldn't have done anything to prevent it, her breasts would have sagged anyway with age had she never had children at all
It is possible that it could happen to you, but if they look ok now, chances are they aren't going to make a drastic turnaround in the next few months
It happened to her because that's just the way that her body is, and it probably won't happen to you if you loose weight since you haven't experienced anything yet.
Sounds like your friend should look into corrective surgery to help bring them back into place. Else when she hits 50, they'll be hangin in her lap.
