How much do boobs grow?

[Nick47]

I know this'll vary vastly but I wondered how much my boobs could grow, I was a pre-preg size of about 14C, I am already straining in a 16-18D.

Would anyone care to share their pre-natal,ante-natal and post breadfeeding boob sizes?

Hi Nicky!
I was a 12D before I fell pregnant. I ended up a (12-14)(DD-E) towards the end of my pregnancy and when I first started breastfeeding. :eek: Im now a comfortable 12-14DD (Im still breastfeeding... things have settled down heaps though!).
Bec + Brianna Jade (5months) :D

Pre-pregnancy - 14C
While pregnant and early breast feeding - 14E :eek:
For the short time I was not breast feeding and was in early stages of next pregnancy - 14D
Currently breastfeeding and still a D - DD after 7 months

Pre preg: 10A, barely
End of preg and first breastfeeding: 10-12B
end of breastfeeding: 1 boob 10A, the other still 10-12B (looked hilarious!)
now back to 10A about a year after ending breastfeeding.

One midwife told our ante-natal class that boobs might actually be smaller after breastfeeding compared to pre-preg. I couldn't imagine it!

Hi Nick

I had no real change with both pg.

Pre preg 12B

During preg - still 12 B. In fact I wore all my old bras until DD1 was born. Cup size didn't change much, but measurement around my ribcage did - so I may have been more comfy in a 14B. For my second pg, I started wearing all my maternity bras in the latter stages of pg purely because of the increase in ribcage (not breast) size.

Post pg and breast feeding 12B, (except for milk coming in boobs) but I do miss my pg and breast feeding boobs. While cup size didn't really change "perkiness" certainly did (and that's what I miss most). Don't mind not being leaky though :D .

With number 1 I went from a 10B to a massive 14DD and 19kgs added to the scales. I did lose the weight very quickly an fitted back into my size 8 jeans but still had the 14DD for a few weeks. I finally settled into a 12DD until I gave up at 6 1/2 months.

With number 2 I started at 10D and again went to the 14DD (25kgs with this baby). I have now stopped BFing (at 9months) and bra size is now 12DD but still 10kg over pre-pg weight.

OMG I'm so scared! I am a 14DD-E already!

Pammy Anderson-Lee watch out, here comes Kat!

Its going to be painful! :(

I started at 12C before pregnancy. The highest I went up to was 16E, i am now 12E and my daughter is 17 months. The actual breast size themselves haven't changed at all since the birth even after loosing over half the weight I put on. I absolutely hate it and am starting to save for a breast reduction.

[Mischief]

Ive been tossing up weather or not to have a boob reduction for years...ive been a 14DD since I was about 14......its always been such a nightmare....

Everyone keeps telling me to wait until after I have had babies though, because sometimesyour brest size can reduce after....plus also....if I'm going to grow any during pregnancy and it doesnt go after...it would be a better idea to get it done then. I dont want to have any problems breast feeding.

Hi there,
pre-pregnancy I was a 10b,
breastfeeding 12C, I am down to 2 breastfeeds a day now and am back to a 10b.
Although I do think that I will get smaller........eek they DO seem to be shrinking :confused:

Hi there ladies,

Im only 7 weeks pregnant and have gone from a 10E to nearly busting out of a 12E already!!!! Its amazing how much your body changes even so early on in the piece. To those other big girls, i hear you!!!!! :D

[jamb]

I wish..... I was 12a before and grew to a huge 12b! Currently breast feeding but still no huge boobies for me- thought getting pregnant might have meant experiencing bigger boobs, nope, and even though they only grew a cup size I still got stretch marks :(
as for the rest of me, well that grew!!

hi there :)

My pre pregnancy size was 10B, im currently 28weeks and now a 10DD pushing to a 10E. Only good thing no stretch marks....YET! Im hoping to be at least 10B after BF!


jes :)

:o hello!

I was a 10A all my life and now im my 39th week i am a 12C and i really think that i need a 12D.. they are massive!

I hope they dont shrink to less than they were before, then I will really need a boob job! :p

good luck
Lyndal :o

Before my first I was a 12B. Went straight away to a 12C, then 14C a briefly a 14D. Went back down to a 14C after the birth and stayed there for the first 6 months of breastfeeding then went back down to a 12B until finished breastfeeding at 9 months. Got pregnant straight away again, didn't get to a 14C until 7 months pregnant and then stayed at that until 6 months of breastfeeding, then back again to a 12B. Now pregnant with my third and I'm a 12-14B and not growing at all. Apparently they say with your subsequent pregnancies you don't grow nearly as much as with your first (thank God!)

[Miaow]

I started a 14C and am now (15weeks) about a 14DD-E (probably really need a 16) Im sorta dreading how much more they are gonna grow :eek:

At least the painful stage has eased off a little now :o

Hi Nick47
I am now 36 weeks pregnant, and I must say that my boobs haven't chanced all that much.I've probably just filled out my cup size a bit more. Maybe I am now a 14B instead of a 12 B. Even the maternity bras still look ridiculous. Just wondering if they'll get any bigger when breastfeeding. I don't think they will somehow, but i'm more than willing to borrow some of yours, in order to empathise with you a bit more. Sorry I can't help you, i'm the exact opposite.
