they do not stay larger and in most cases the get smaller than they originally were before you even got pregnant.

Unfortuntaley, they either go back to normal or get smaller. If you gained a lot of weight with pregnancy or they got really, really big, then there is a chance that they may end up smaller or let's just say, flatter. Ususally people with small boobs to begin with will be able to bounce back to their normal size.

They usually go back to normal, I've never heard anyone say they got bigger after birth.

dear scotty<3,
after the child birth the mammary glands(glands which help in stimulating milk production after child birth) are stimulated and that helps in milk production .hence the breast size increases.as far as i know the brest size contracts don't worry as the mammay glands also gets back to its original position you don't have to worry.i have experienced that

If you're saying that you're not going to breastfeed after you have your baby, the doctor will prescribe medication to prevent your breasts from getting engorged. They won't get as large as a breast-feeding mother's.

Just wondering why you do not plan on Breast feeding? There are SO many benefits for the baby and not to mention the money saved from formula...
-Breast milk is the most complete form of nutrition for infants. A mother's milk has just the right amount of fat, sugar, water, and protein that is needed for a baby's growth and development. Most babies find it easier to digest breast milk than they do formula.
Benefits for Baby**
-As a result, breastfed infants grow exactly the way they should. They tend to gain less unnecessary weight and to be leaner. This may result in being less overweight later in life.
-Premature babies do better when breastfed compared to premature babies who are fed formula.
-Breastfed babies score slightly higher on IQ tests, especially babies who were born pre-maturely.
Benefits for Mommy**
Nursing uses up extra calories, making it easier to lose the pounds of pregnancy. It also helps the uterus to get back to its original size and lessens any bleeding a woman may have after giving birth.
-Breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding (no supplementing with formula), delays the return of normal ovulation and menstrual cycles. (However, you should still talk with your doctor or nurse about birth control choices.)
-Breastfeeding lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancers, and possibly the risk of hip fractures and osteoporosis after menopause.
-Breastfeeding makes your life easier. It saves time and money. You do not have to purchase, measure, and mix formula. There are no bottles to warm in the middle of the night!
-A mother can give her baby immediate satisfaction by providing her breast milk when her baby is hungry.
-Breastfeeding requires a mother to take some quiet relaxed time for herself and her baby.
Breastfeeding can help a mother to bond with her baby. Physical contact is important to newborns and can help them feel more secure, warm and comforted.
-Breastfeeding mothers may have increased self-confidence and feelings of closeness and bonding with their infants.
If there is a medical reason for not breast feeding..then ignore all the above info. Hope this helps.

They will go back to normal after your milk dries up.

Mine went back to normal.
By the way, I hope you are ready to get harrassed by everyone for not breastfeeding. I didn't want to breastfeed, so I didn't. Suddenly everyone seems to think it is their business. I got mean looks from everyone I told. If I had a can of baby formula in my buggy at the store, someone would make a rude comment.
Hang in there. There are a few of us left who don't breastfeed!

I also chose not to breastfeed with my 2 children (personal choice) and my breasts went back to their original size after I dried up. And I also agree that if people try to bully you into breast feeding, tell them to shove it up their ***. Congrats & Good luck
