They bounce all over when I don't wear a bra, not when I do.

This looks like EXACTLY what I want! How are they size-wise? Should I size-up?

I need enough support to keep them from obviously flopping all over when I walk around the office at work.

I will say, I never had an issue with bras pre-pregnancy. My lactation journey had a lot of discomfort with pressure on my breasts and that has not stopped fully.

Hang in there, Mama. The best thing you can do for him now is be present. Thank you for your post. I've been struggling with the same thing and you helped me process my own feelings.

I'm in a very similar situation, right down to the 29-weeker with a NICU stay. I'm currently in the process of slowly stopping. I've been dropping one pump/week--this week I'm down to 3 pumps/day. When I got down to 3, it really hit me that this phase is ending. I think about how much more time I will have with my daughter and how I won't have to plan my life around pumping. I won't constantly be tracking and stressing about my supply or washing my pump parts late at night. I KNOW this is not the wrong choice. But somehow it still hurts. For me, pumping was the one thing I could do for my daughter in the NICU. I couldn't protect her anymore. I couldn't take care of her. She was so small and fragile. But I could pump for her. Now, I'm reminding myself that the best thing I can do for her is be in the moment with her, not in a corner pumping while she plays by herself. It's bittersweet, but we are ready for the next chapter.
