sorry OP, boobs lose firmness and can get all covered in stretch marks regardless of your choice of feeding methods.

My breasts did get a bit saggy, but I have never heard of it altering your nipples on the long term. There can be chapped nipples and the likes but all of those heal quickly enough.

Hi Swizzles,

The same thing happened with me. It really freaked me out at first because it was the first really big sign that my body was changing beyond my control. But yeah, my first bit of pre-milk started leaking at around 18 weeks, and continued until the birth. All the midwives took it to mean I'd have no problems with milk supply after the birth.
