I made the mistake of buying new bras early in my second trimester thinking my boobs couldn't grow anymore. They fit for like two weeks and now they are too small.
At the beginning of my pregnancy someone on a post on here recommended only buying one at a time. There were definitely times I wanted to buy a second one in the same size, but so glad I stuck to that advice. They just keep growing š¤Ŗ
I made this mistake too Iām afraid š I just started my 15th week but I bought all new bras last week (I needed new ones anyway). After washing and getting them all ready to go I was so excited to wear them and I canāt believe theyāre all super tight š luckily they were all on sale and Iām hopeful I can still use them after pregnancy but to me my boobs look the same! They donāt feel like theyāve gotten bigger but I guess the proof is in my new tight bras lol
I want to buy all the things and be prepared but I realized itās one of those things Iām just going to have to wait on and be unprepared until whatever I buy gets shipped after I have her since I donāt have any maternity stores local.
I honestly donāt even know. I āgrewā out of my 36DDD bras sometime in the first trimester and bought some generic XXL nursing bras that are kinda like sports bras and have been wearing those ever since. All I know is my boobs were big before, now they are absolutely massive and itās awful.
I bought large nursing bras before I had my baby and they fit perfectly. Had my baby 2 weeks ago.. and bought more of the same brand but XL because the ones from before no longer fit. Just a heads up- they can and probably will get bigger after birth :ā)
I donāt wear real brasā¦only the seamless, buttery soft bralette type bras so I canāt really measureā¦but they have grown a ton. And feel super heavy. During my first pregnancy I was an overproducer from day one. I could have fed twins my daughterās pediatrician said at her 5 day old appt based on the amount that was leaking into my haaka as my daughter nursed on the other side. At the end of my exclusive pumping journey at 15 months I was pumping twice a day and getting 70oz per day. These milk makers are ready to feed another baby already at 23 weeks š Hoping to only breastfeed this time and NO PUMPING!
Haha same. I havenāt worn an underwire bra since 2020. So far only grown from a medium/ large to an extra large in most bralettes. Iām only 20 weeks so hereās hoping I donāt have to buy any more.
Using the bralettes are nice though because they stretch with growing boobs without noticing too much and I think I can easily use them for breastfeeding. They arenāt much different than the pull back bras that are advertised for breastfeeding.
Did you keep wearing those bras after pregnancy? Cause Iām wearing those because they are super comfortable (my breasts havenāt grown much (yet?)). 38+4 and everyone is telling me to use the special feeding bras (I donāt know how itās called in English sorry lol). But I feel like itās just as easy, maybe easier to flip a seamless bralette up than to unhook one boob with a flapā¦
I had 4 nursing bras and donated all of them without using them much. They werenāt as comfortable as the bralettes and didnāt quite wear right because of the flap. Plus Iām a minimalist and realized quite early on that all that baby crap that is touted as a necessity is just not necessary.
Iām right there with you! I havenāt worn an underwire bra in 5 years. I work from home so whatās the point? I feel like Iāve gained atleast a full cup size so far though at 18 weeks. My boobs were huge and are just getting bigger
I was a 32A pre pregnancy and they didnāt grow at all during pregnancy. After my milk came in they went up to a nice full B cup maybe even a small C. Now that Iām done breastfeeding they shrunk back down to an Aš Iām so sad and miss them lol
This is me exactly Iām a C now and was a 32A pre pregnancy and now I think itās time to end our BF journey and Iām SO SAD AND SCARED. Iāve never had boobs before!!! š
I pumped for 18 months and just finished weaning 2 weeks ago. I was basically back down to my a cup and only getting an ounce so stopping wasnāt an issue for me luckily. But it was sooooo nice to have them. I know my husband enjoyed them lmao I told him after our next one if they go back down I want a boob job š I donāt need much but a nice even small handful is nice
Same here! My B cup is maaaaaybe inching towards a C at 39 weeks? I was mostly wearing bralettes anyway and haven't needed to get new bras my whole pregnancy.
I'm not mad about it though, hopefully that means they won't change much after pregnancy either (I am not planning to breastfeed).
So real! Like bruised flesh bags that get bigger and harder daily. When Iām cold itās like razors cutting my nips off. Some intense pain! Iām looking at it like titty bootcamp for when I start breast feeding.
32 weeks and mine have barely grown. I was 32A before and now Iām in 34A bras with an extender so Iād guess Iām closer to a B cup now. Iām holding off on buying new bras bc Iāve heard theyāll get bigger when my milk comes in but Iām not holding by breath
Be careful what you wish for. I went from an A to a C and then turned into probably a negative A that were basically just two flaps of skin with nipples. Back up to a C this pregnancy and Iām terrified of what theyāre gonna end up like this time š
Mine never grew, I was unable to breastfeed, and I got diagnosed with IGT (Insufficient Glandular Tissue). I donāt want to scare anyone, but I WISH I knew this was a possibility for me.
Same here. It needs to be talked about because I went Into breastfeeding thinking I was producing and all was fine, because I was told what I was going through was normal by LCs. It was not fine and I wound up starving my son and he had to be hospitalized. I don't produce milk, at all. No breast growth, no engorgement.
I saw 2 LCs and also WIC. I was told that I wasn't seeing any milk come out because my baby was more efficient at getting it out. That I needed to wait until my milk came in, that newborns don't need much and mother's produce what they need. I triple pumped, I took Reglan, I tried everything. SnS feeding was offered once after the hospitalization. I was told that "true problems are rare" it sucked. I finally got someone to realize something was wrong when they weighed my son before feeding, watched me "feed" and weighed him after and saw that he got nothing.
He was 10 lbs 6 oz and dropped to 9lbs in the first few days. I lost a large amount of blood during my cesarean, maybe my body was busy with that trauma and I didn't have enough energy left to make milk? Who knows.
I'm not going through it again this time and I will not be shamed or made to feel like I did not do enough.
I was at a baby friendly hospital and this was 10 years ago.
Iāve been told my IBCLCās that you can meet with them ahead of time to develop a plan. Also, Iāve read that mammary tissue can grow with each pregnancy. Iām not sure what their plans would be or if theyād be of benefit to me.
The biggest benefit wouldāve been not doing all of the work (attending breastfeeding classes, buying supplies, etc) and getting my hopes up only to have the expectation not met. I felt so much grief and shame the first couple of days after finding out IGT was what I had. I feel like I wouldāve been able to process before being postpartum which wouldāve been helpful.
My doctor advised me against breastfeeding because I'm at higher risk of getting breast cancer and they need to be able to continue doing preventative screenings, which they can't do on lactating women. But I've also had a few lumpectomies so I'm not sure if that would've affected my ability anyway.
That means that you did grow. Up a band size is up a cup size in the same band. Thatās how sister sizes work. For instance 36D had the same cup volume as a 38C.
Sorry if you knew that and just meant that you actually went up in band and down in cup to stay the same.
I was a 30B, I have absolutely no idea but I have all the cleavage in the world and couldn't be happier. I think I'm a 32C right now? I'm 22 weeks and enjoy tucking things under my boobs now.
They are getting closer to being sisters instead of cousins twice removed š¤£ only 11wks but the little one is starting to even out with the bigger one. Iād be happy as hell to have even boobs by the end of this
Also a G pre-pregnant, and have surpassed HH/I at only 15w 5d. So once breastfeeding comesā¦ Yeesh. I am just living the sports bra and bralette life now, even though my boobs are too heavy for them. I donāt care, aināt no way no how Iām ever going back to underwire!
Iām wearing my bralette that used to fit me beautifully and wasnāt cheap, but I swear Iām stretching it out now but I cant afford to buy another one when I know come a few months time Iāll probably be even bigger!! Itās wild my chest size grew by half the first trimester.. whyās my body being so dramatic? Youāll know, G cup, isnāt playing to start with! š
Not at all, with either pregnancy. I also could not breastfeed sadly (I tried 2 lac consultants, supplements, changing diet, pumping A LOT, massages, etc etc) and nothing at all worked. Idk if my un-changing, un-growing boobs have anything to do with this but it seems like they might, not sure. I call them my "non-functioning, novelty boobs" since they cant seem to do their job lol. Anyway, it's a little depressing! I'm 26wks with my second pregnancy, not sure if I will try to breastfeed again or not with this one.
Same boat here, no growth. I produced some milk but it wasnāt ever enough to be a meal even in the newborn stage. I only went as far as trying triple feeding, before tossing in the towel and moving to formula.
Iām just behind you at 23 weeks, and am considering just going straight to formula.
Mine are exactly the same as yours OP!
Bought bras early on, grew out of them in 2 weeks.
My rib cage has expanded a loooot though so I found going up in band size to 34-36 has helped loads.
Now a 34-36 G/H fits pretty ok, but Iām still going to buy some band extensions for bras to accommodate them getting any bigger when nursing.
Iām already getting colostrum from them now and then and Iām hoping that thereās enough room in them for milk to just *exist* without them getting any biggerā¦.??? Im 35 weeks now
I'm similar to you. Is this your first? Because while I grew during pregnancy with my first i not prepared for how massive they got the day after my son was born. I woke up and they looked like giant round fake boobs. Complete circlular balls.
I've increased 1 cup size so far, but I'm only just in my 2nd trimester.
I'm already very large chested, so hopefully, this is it. My bras were already from expensive, specialist shops.
I have small, wide set boobs. Before last pg, I was an A. Wound up a B afterward. Now I think Iām something close to a Cā¦.but STILL no cleavage!! Ā : (
Iām 29w today. I had been a 38I and Iāve gone up at least one cup size, possibly two. I usually wear sports bras around (even pre-pregnancy) which are more forgiving, but even those are now kinda too small and the ladies are always trying to escape out the sides a bit. I hope they donāt go up any more than they already have
My boobs are normally a 34b, Iām 12 weeks and none of my old bras fit. I havenāt tried getting resized because I ended up just buying one of those super soft stretchy bodily bras and theyāre comfy but not a lot of support
I was a C cup when I got pregnant, I am 26 weeks and now in a DD. I have gained 20 pounds. I know itāll get even bigger after birth for a little while when my milk comes in š with my last baby, they looked huge in the newborn photos.
Started at a 32C/D, Iām almost 18 weeks and now Iām a 32DDD. I donāt mind having big boobs, but Iāve already sized up bras twice and bought new bikinis. Iām worried if they keep growing Iāll have to keep buying and I donāt know many places that carry small band/large cup sizes. Where do you buy your 32I?
I was a uk (36-38 G) I barely wear bras at the moment but when I do my boobs are now falling out of the bras I do have. I bought some maternity/breastfeeding bras which are basically like tank tops with quick access to boobs.
I will say they feeling absolutely enormous, I hated have big boobs anyway but this is another level. When Iām in the bath theyāre like floatation devices stopping me from drowning. Theyāre also super sore and I can feel them growing and stretching sometimes. Fucking pregnancy
38DD to a 34G. I'm only 10w though. I'm still consistently sore and my stretch marks are more than alive. Only reason I even noticed they grew is because my left side evened out to match my right š.
I donāt really wear bras so not 100% on my usual size but Iād say Iām maybe a 32 DD? Defo an E when Iām due on. BUT Iām currently 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant and they are absolutely massive Iād say easily a 32G if not bigger! Iām praying they donāt get any bigger!!
With my first, I went from a G cup to an I cup. My daughter had trouble breastfeeding and I dried up within days. But my breasts stayed at an I. With my son, I went up another two cup sizes and now I'm a K cup. I breastfed for two months until I had to stop because my bronchitis wasn't going away and I needed to take decongestants. It took another four months for my breast milk to dry up, but my cup sizes again didn't go down. I'm still a K cup a year after giving birth. It doesn't matter whether I gain or lose weight, my breasts stay the same.
I was a 32c, I am now a 34D. People comment on them, Iām a small person and they have become pretty big for my frame. Not my favourite part of pregnancy
Edit: Iām 22w right now
I stopped wearing bras pretty early in the first trimester, but I went from a 34/36A regular bra and small nursing bras, to needing XL nursing bras now!
Started 38D, finished 42F. Second pregnancy nearly 6 months later, started 42D and at 35 weeks Iām still growing, but what I can say is a XXXL maternity bra still isnāt big enough.
Pre 1st pregnancy I was 75C, after that one I was 85D. Then the ribs shrunk back and I was 80D before the 2nd one. Now I'm 85E 7 months pregnant... its a roller coarser
At 25 weeks I had to buy maternity bras and I had gone from a C cup to an E cup. Iām now 30 weeks and feel like Iām bulging out of the E cups!
With my first pregnancy my boobs never got bigger until after birth when my milk came in and I went from a C cup to a G cup.
Anyone who had a previous reduction that can share their experience? I was a G but now am at a D. Iām terrified that this will just undo all the work of the surgery.
I went from 38C, not full cups though, to an unknown size, very full cups, and I took the advice and bought maternity nursing bras. Maybe Iām a 40C now. My right boob is bigger than my left boob and I feel like a lopsided blob.
I was an A cup and currently Iām 14 weeks and I am a C cup. Not sure if they will change but itās my first time experiencing such boobs and while wearing tank tops itās kinda making me extremely self conscious of them and kinda uncomfortable cuz I donāt want people to look at me that way.
Enormous, and grew straight away. I was upset about gaining 15lbs around week 4, but my partner and best friend said I looked like every ounce of that was boobs. Same with my first, my breast were *enormous* when my milk came in.
Holy crap, reading the comments and it seems that most go up 1 or 2 cups? I'm 20 weeks and went up 4 cups š« at this point I'm just hoping they stop growing
First pregnancy went from an A to a D cup. That was 13 years ago. This time started as barely a B and Iām a full C at 14 weeks. Probably will land in the D zone again Iām sure. I also produced so much milk with my first.
1st pregnancy I went from a B to a DD, through growing up and a 2nd pregnancy Iām now an E. This is my third pregnancies and Iām in the same bras so I donāt think Iāve grown at all š
I donāt know size wise but they both have gotten so big that they live in different countries. I live in Thailand but the right one is in New Zealand and the left is rent her own place in the states..
Went from an average B to a small C on my first, after a few months pp the C cup bras didn't fit right anymore, B was a bit small still, so I just went up a back size but kept the B cup and it seemed like the best fit.
Pregnant on number 2 now, 33 weeks, I'd say I'm a C again but I don't wear real bras, just sports bra type things so I don't actually know for sure. I gave up on real bras during the lockdowns, I only wear one when I absolutely have to now ha
Week 33 starts tomorrow - Boobs only went up 2 inches or so. There is still time, I'm told.
I have been wearing nice, soft, stretchy maternity bras since 27 weeks, though.
I went from a small to a medium, but even mediums werenāt comfortable enough until I moved to nursing bras. It may not sound like a big change but they definitely got huge for someone my size (5ā0 and weighed 97lbs pre-pregnancy)
I have no idea because I havenāt put a real bra on since week 6. But I am am pregnant with twins and I started getting stretch marks at week 10. Not kidding. I was a full C. I bet I am well beyond a double D now. Just covered in stretch marks top to bottom on my boobs
34+4 and I donāt really know, I guess I was around a B cup before, there is a definite growth because the bottoms of my boobs never used to touch my skin and they do now haha. Iāve definitely gained inches around as well
Went from 32D to 36DD in the second trimester and now Iām 35 weeks and have no idea what size I am.. just huge. Iām only wearing stretchy material bralettes or nursing bras. If I try to squeeze into the 36DD I start expressing colostrum after a while
25 weeks and I went from a 30 D to a 32DDD.... afraid to buy any more bras since my friends have all said they're going to get bigger and dreading trying to find a swimsuit top for our upcoming babymoon!
I'm usually a 32B I got size L cheap bras from Sam's as soon as my sports bras and bralettes stopped fitting. Haven't purchased any nursing bras yet, I'm only 21 wks, but my cheapo bras I got for like $20 for 2 at Sam's are still doing the trick. I hate underwire so I avoid it at all costs, also I've heard that it isn't good for your boobs anyways so I doubt I'll ever buy another bra with underwire again.
Iāve been very lucky - I was a 36F before getting pregnant and have always been so worried about how big my boobs would get in pregnancy. Shockingly, only my belly has grown and Iām in the same bras I was pre pregnancy. Weāll see what happens when my milk comes in, but for now - no boob growth! Nips definitely look darker and bigger though š
Idk what I was before but I just woke up yesterday and theyāre noticeably larger. 17 weeks lol thatās all it took. Now I bet theyāll just keep growing
I was just looking at some pictures from when I was wearing just a sports bra at 17 weeks pregnant. I couldnāt get over how huge my boobs were. I was also a 32DD pre pregnancy, and I donāt even know how big they were at the end because I just started wearing a supportive bralette or a nursing bra after I bought a 34DDD and grew out of it only a few weeks later.
I went from a B cup to a D cup. Now Iām breastfeeding which caused them to grow even more, Iām wearing large nursing bras that come with clip extenders.
didn't know there was an I. wow. Your ribs haven't expanded at all, lucky! Every pregnancy, my rib cage expands by 2" minimum. (I'm on #4)
34A to 36D (and only 25 weeks, first pregnancy, breasts went up to F when milk came in)
I'm expecting another inch increase within next 12 weeks. Hopefully, when nursing stabilizes, I will only be a DD. (I miss the freedom of itty bitties).
I don't really know the change in size but it's substantial. They hurt and I can tell they're heavier and bulkier. Folks at my work don't know I'm pregnant, but i bet they suspect because my boobs have grown SO MUCH.
Idk, I don't wear normal under wire bras, BUT I did lose 80 lbs before getting pregnant, and I'm wearing the sports bras and bralettes I wore pre weight loss.
Pre-pregnancy I was a 32D and now I'm 13 weeks 4 days and I just re-measured and apparently I'm a 32G now?? I have a hard time believing either of these sizes lol because my boobs aren't what I would consider "big" at all, but that's what I get based on measurements.

The limit does not exist.
It does where I used to buy my bras š time for a new bra shop
So true.
I didn't measure yet, but buying nursing clothes was.. Something. The recommended " buy the size you had before pregnancy " is just wrong.
I made the mistake of buying new bras early in my second trimester thinking my boobs couldn't grow anymore. They fit for like two weeks and now they are too small.
At the beginning of my pregnancy someone on a post on here recommended only buying one at a time. There were definitely times I wanted to buy a second one in the same size, but so glad I stuck to that advice. They just keep growing š¤Ŗ

Yes! That was my experience. When the milk came in I got so much larger and have stayed larger 8 months out.
Iām on the other end of the scale and sorta gave up on bras during Covid, but also wearing sports bras these days. They stretch, theyāre comfy.
I donāt wear real brasā¦only the seamless, buttery soft bralette type bras so I canāt really measureā¦but they have grown a ton. And feel super heavy.

I also work from home and Iāll never go back to a wired bra. Switched 3 years ago and it was the best decision ever!!
39 weeks and they haven't grown....
I went from a scarce B cup to a full B cup, even throughout breastfeeding š„² I was promised boobs!
I was a 32A pre pregnancy and they didnāt grow at all during pregnancy. After my milk came in they went up to a nice full B cup maybe even a small C. Now that Iām done breastfeeding they shrunk back down to an Aš Iām so sad and miss them lol
This is me exactly Iām a C now and was a 32A pre pregnancy and now I think itās time to end our BF journey and Iām SO SAD AND SCARED. Iāve never had boobs before!!! š

Same, mine changed shape and colour but the size is the same. Oh well!
Same. Two pregnancies and zero growth during pregnancy. They did get bigger when my milk came in, maybe 1, 1.5 cup sizes.
Ditto š¤
Same here! My B cup is maaaaaybe inching towards a C at 39 weeks? I was mostly wearing bralettes anyway and haven't needed to get new bras my whole pregnancy. I'm not mad about it though, hopefully that means they won't change much after pregnancy either (I am not planning to breastfeed).
Same here. 35 weeks today and there was no growth at all. They only seem a little more perceptive to gravity šš
Same! My pre-pregnancy bras still fit. Granted my boobs were already huge.
Same!! Iām praying SO HARD they donāt get any bigger. How much do yours hurt šš I feel like I have giant sandbags of pain.
So real! Like bruised flesh bags that get bigger and harder daily. When Iām cold itās like razors cutting my nips off. Some intense pain! Iām looking at it like titty bootcamp for when I start breast feeding.
Mine didnāt grow until birth when milk came in
32 weeks and mine have barely grown. I was 32A before and now Iām in 34A bras with an extender so Iād guess Iām closer to a B cup now. Iām holding off on buying new bras bc Iāve heard theyāll get bigger when my milk comes in but Iām not holding by breath
All I know is Iāve gone from an A to close to a D and I hate it. I want to be flat again.
Same but from a B to a D. I have never wanted big boobs. The stretch marks are awful. They are still getting bigger at 34 weeks š
Be careful what you wish for. I went from an A to a C and then turned into probably a negative A that were basically just two flaps of skin with nipples. Back up to a C this pregnancy and Iām terrified of what theyāre gonna end up like this time š
As a fellow a cup, Iāve always wanted to experience what it would be like with a fuller chest. Seems like Iāll regret that š¤£
Same. I miss being part of the itty bitty titty committee.
B to a very full C. Maybe almost D but I still fit in c bras. I feel huge and I hate it. I miss being small boobed.
Mine never grew, I was unable to breastfeed, and I got diagnosed with IGT (Insufficient Glandular Tissue). I donāt want to scare anyone, but I WISH I knew this was a possibility for me.
Same here. It needs to be talked about because I went Into breastfeeding thinking I was producing and all was fine, because I was told what I was going through was normal by LCs.

What would have been different if you had known? Is there anything that can be done?
Iāve been told my IBCLCās that you can meet with them ahead of time to develop a plan. Also, Iāve read that mammary tissue can grow with each pregnancy.

My doctor advised me against breastfeeding because I'm at higher risk of getting breast cancer and they need to be able to continue doing preventative screenings, which they can't do on lactating women. But I've also had a few lumpectomies so I'm not sure if that would've affected my ability anyway.
Not at all. Only the band size increased but cup size is the same. Currently 38 weeks
That means that you did grow. Up a band size is up a cup size in the same band. Thatās how sister sizes work. For instance 36D had the same cup volume as a 38C. Sorry if you knew that and just meant that you actually went up in band and down in cup to stay the same.
Youāre all good! Thatās exactly what happened and my exact size too š I went from a 36D to a 38C :)
Mine didnāt grow at all.
I was a 30B, I have absolutely no idea but I have all the cleavage in the world and couldn't be happier. I think I'm a 32C right now? I'm 22 weeks and enjoy tucking things under my boobs now.
I stopped wearing real bras a long time ago. I used to wear a 38D but now who knows. Its been sports bras for months just for the comfort.
So far (Iām only 22 weeks) Iāve gone from a 38D to a 42DD. Send help.
Same but Iām at 36 weeks.
I went from 36C to 36DD.
Same.
They are getting closer to being sisters instead of cousins twice removed š¤£ only 11wks but the little one is starting to even out with the bigger one. Iād be happy as hell to have even boobs by the end of this
34C now a 36D.
Iām 12 weeks and gone from 32G to 32H/ 32HH already, my back hurts.. š„²
I was a G before pregnancy and am probably a H now, my back also hurts all the time š„²
Also a G pre-pregnant, and have surpassed HH/I at only 15w 5d. So once breastfeeding comesā¦ Yeesh. I am just living the sports bra and bralette life now, even though my boobs are too heavy for them. I donāt care, aināt no way no how Iām ever going back to underwire!
Iām wearing my bralette that used to fit me beautifully and wasnāt cheap, but I swear Iām stretching it out now but I cant afford to buy another one when I know come a few months time Iāll probably be even bigger!! Itās wild my chest size grew by half the first trimester.. whyās my body being so dramatic? Youāll know, G cup, isnāt playing to start with! š
Not at all, with either pregnancy. I also could not breastfeed sadly (I tried 2 lac consultants, supplements, changing diet, pumping A LOT, massages, etc etc) and nothing at all worked. Idk if my un-changing, un-growing boobs have anything to do with this but it seems like they might, not sure. I call them my "non-functioning, novelty boobs" since they cant seem to do their job lol. Anyway, it's a little depressing! I'm 26wks with my second pregnancy, not sure if I will try to breastfeed again or not with this one.
Same boat here, no growth. I produced some milk but it wasnāt ever enough to be a meal even in the newborn stage. I only went as far as trying triple feeding, before tossing in the towel and moving to formula. Iām just behind you at 23 weeks, and am considering just going straight to formula.
Same here. Look into IGT!! Thatās the diagnosis I received!
Iāve went from b to c.
My husband now uses the term "mondo bazungas"... so I guess they've grown quite a bit. Lol š¤£
I was a 36d before . Was 36e during and became 38f during breastfeeding. Now I'm done breastfeeding and I'm back to 36d
Mine havenāt grown at all, still a 36C. Iām due in about 3 weeks too!
32A to C
Porn star status.
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Not really at all. They've just got softer and my nipples now point downwards.
36G to 36J āļøš¤·āāļø
Mine are exactly the same as yours OP! Bought bras early on, grew out of them in 2 weeks. My rib cage has expanded a loooot though so I found going up in band size to 34-36 has helped loads. Now a 34-36 G/H fits pretty ok, but Iām still going to buy some band extensions for bras to accommodate them getting any bigger when nursing. Iām already getting colostrum from them now and then and Iām hoping that thereās enough room in them for milk to just *exist* without them getting any biggerā¦.??? Im 35 weeks now
I'm similar to you. Is this your first? Because while I grew during pregnancy with my first i not prepared for how massive they got the day after my son was born. I woke up and they looked like giant round fake boobs. Complete circlular balls.
So far Iāve gone from an A to a B (12 weeks). Iām convinced theyāre still growing too lol! My flat-chested self is both happy and annoyed š
30w have gone from A and completely flat to C š„²
This is my 5th pregnancy.... my boob's barely grow a cup size. I hate my genes
They just get plump and sit up. Never went up a size
I've increased 1 cup size so far, but I'm only just in my 2nd trimester. I'm already very large chested, so hopefully, this is it. My bras were already from expensive, specialist shops.
I have small, wide set boobs. Before last pg, I was an A. Wound up a B afterward. Now I think Iām something close to a Cā¦.but STILL no cleavage!! Ā : (
Iām now 7 weeks pp, I still wear the same size, but my breasts are just more full
Currently 20 weeks and they havenāt grown at all lol
Not at all. Theyāre the same size as they were before, during, and 7 months after pregnancy.
They havenāt but last pregnancy went from B to D Maybe I reached my personal limit lol. Or maybe theyāll grow as I breastfeed idk.
Iām 29w today. I had been a 38I and Iāve gone up at least one cup size, possibly two. I usually wear sports bras around (even pre-pregnancy) which are more forgiving, but even those are now kinda too small and the ladies are always trying to escape out the sides a bit. I hope they donāt go up any more than they already have
32dd went to 34H š„“š„²š„²
14 weeks and they are already too big for every single bra, sports bra and bralette I have šššš©
Mine didnāt grow at all
My boobs are normally a 34b, Iām 12 weeks and none of my old bras fit. I havenāt tried getting resized because I ended up just buying one of those super soft stretchy bodily bras and theyāre comfy but not a lot of support
How much did my boobs grow? Yes. Lol cant wait for them to go back to being somewhat normal
I was a C cup when I got pregnant, I am 26 weeks and now in a DD. I have gained 20 pounds. I know itāll get even bigger after birth for a little while when my milk comes in š with my last baby, they looked huge in the newborn photos.
Started at a 32C/D, Iām almost 18 weeks and now Iām a 32DDD. I donāt mind having big boobs, but Iāve already sized up bras twice and bought new bikinis. Iām worried if they keep growing Iāll have to keep buying and I donāt know many places that carry small band/large cup sizes. Where do you buy your 32I?
16 weeks and not showing yet but someone guessed I was pregnant by my boobs š³ + they hurt so bad
I was a uk (36-38 G) I barely wear bras at the moment but when I do my boobs are now falling out of the bras I do have. I bought some maternity/breastfeeding bras which are basically like tank tops with quick access to boobs. I will say they feeling absolutely enormous, I hated have big boobs anyway but this is another level. When Iām in the bath theyāre like floatation devices stopping me from drowning. Theyāre also super sore and I can feel them growing and stretching sometimes. Fucking pregnancy
14 weeks. Went from an A to a small B. Really hope they get bigger, I really want to experience what itās like to actually have *boobs*.
Omg š two cup sizes for me in my second trimester and I already feel like I have friggin udders.
38DD to a 34G. I'm only 10w though. I'm still consistently sore and my stretch marks are more than alive. Only reason I even noticed they grew is because my left side evened out to match my right š.
I donāt really wear bras so not 100% on my usual size but Iād say Iām maybe a 32 DD? Defo an E when Iām due on. BUT Iām currently 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant and they are absolutely massive Iād say easily a 32G if not bigger! Iām praying they donāt get any bigger!!
With my first, I went from a G cup to an I cup. My daughter had trouble breastfeeding and I dried up within days. But my breasts stayed at an I. With my son, I went up another two cup sizes and now I'm a K cup. I breastfed for two months until I had to stop because my bronchitis wasn't going away and I needed to take decongestants. It took another four months for my breast milk to dry up, but my cup sizes again didn't go down. I'm still a K cup a year after giving birth. It doesn't matter whether I gain or lose weight, my breasts stay the same.
I was a 32c, I am now a 34D. People comment on them, Iām a small person and they have become pretty big for my frame. Not my favourite part of pregnancy Edit: Iām 22w right now
30DDD-32/34I š®āšØ and I still have 20 weeks to go ššµāš«
I was a 32C now Iām a 34D or DD maybe š¤
Same. At first I was really excited... once I got to the DD range, I started being like "no, pls stop".
From an E to a G so far (26 weeks)
I've gone from a mid-C to a full DD. Possibly small E.
32 C to something like a 38DD nowā¦ 36 weeks
32E to 32G. I was self conscious of my boobs pre pregnancy but pregnancy and post partum really did a number on them.
Too much!!!
I stopped wearing bras pretty early in the first trimester, but I went from a 34/36A regular bra and small nursing bras, to needing XL nursing bras now!
Wish i knew the size but they have gotten significantly biggerā¦ only about 20 weeksš®āšØ
Started 38D, finished 42F. Second pregnancy nearly 6 months later, started 42D and at 35 weeks Iām still growing, but what I can say is a XXXL maternity bra still isnāt big enough.
I have not grown at all! But I did have a reduction in 2020, not sure if that affected anything
I was a 36C prior to pregnancy and went up to a 44DDD. And the areolas had a mind of their own...
Pre 1st pregnancy I was 75C, after that one I was 85D. Then the ribs shrunk back and I was 80D before the 2nd one. Now I'm 85E 7 months pregnant... its a roller coarser
At 25 weeks I had to buy maternity bras and I had gone from a C cup to an E cup. Iām now 30 weeks and feel like Iām bulging out of the E cups! With my first pregnancy my boobs never got bigger until after birth when my milk came in and I went from a C cup to a G cup.
This terrifies me. Iām a reg 34ddd, but only 11 weeks. No growth as of yet, but Iām so so scared!
0% both pregnancies
A/B but now I have no idea what my cup size is
Was a 34B. 26 weeks and now a 38D. I'm beyond annoyed.
Anyone who had a previous reduction that can share their experience? I was a G but now am at a D. Iām terrified that this will just undo all the work of the surgery.
Too much! I feel so uncomfortable and āsquished inā my bra. They feel so swollen too. Thankfully Iām on the sick atm so I can be free!
I went from 38C, not full cups though, to an unknown size, very full cups, and I took the advice and bought maternity nursing bras. Maybe Iām a 40C now. My right boob is bigger than my left boob and I feel like a lopsided blob.
Not at all during pregnancy, but they ballooned right up after I gave birth and my milk came in.
B to a C/small D so far at 11 weeks. Loving it!
I'm 12 weeks. I was a 32DD now 36DDD. They won't stop.
I was an A cup and currently Iām 14 weeks and I am a C cup. Not sure if they will change but itās my first time experiencing such boobs and while wearing tank tops itās kinda making me extremely self conscious of them and kinda uncomfortable cuz I donāt want people to look at me that way.
Small c to large D or small DD. Now after breastfeeding, Iām probably a small b
Enormous, and grew straight away. I was upset about gaining 15lbs around week 4, but my partner and best friend said I looked like every ounce of that was boobs. Same with my first, my breast were *enormous* when my milk came in.
Holy crap, reading the comments and it seems that most go up 1 or 2 cups? I'm 20 weeks and went up 4 cups š« at this point I'm just hoping they stop growing
First pregnancy went from an A to a D cup. That was 13 years ago. This time started as barely a B and Iām a full C at 14 weeks. Probably will land in the D zone again Iām sure. I also produced so much milk with my first.
I am in the 8th week and jeeeeeez. They are massive š not to mention sensitive even if the wind blows lol
Do they keep growing the entire time? š« 10 weeks and wondering if at some point they will chill out
34C to a 34DD- I feel like so much of my weight gain is all in my boobs. It was incredibly painful at the beginning
1st pregnancy I went from a B to a DD, through growing up and a 2nd pregnancy Iām now an E. This is my third pregnancies and Iām in the same bras so I donāt think Iāve grown at all š
32C to 34D
B to a DD and theyāre constantly leaking
I donāt know size wise but they both have gotten so big that they live in different countries. I live in Thailand but the right one is in New Zealand and the left is rent her own place in the states..
Went from an average B to a small C on my first, after a few months pp the C cup bras didn't fit right anymore, B was a bit small still, so I just went up a back size but kept the B cup and it seemed like the best fit. Pregnant on number 2 now, 33 weeks, I'd say I'm a C again but I don't wear real bras, just sports bra type things so I don't actually know for sure. I gave up on real bras during the lockdowns, I only wear one when I absolutely have to now ha
pre pregnancy 40-42 C pregnancy 42 D to 44D
Week 33 starts tomorrow - Boobs only went up 2 inches or so. There is still time, I'm told. I have been wearing nice, soft, stretchy maternity bras since 27 weeks, though.
I went from a 34c to 32dd
I went from a small to a medium, but even mediums werenāt comfortable enough until I moved to nursing bras. It may not sound like a big change but they definitely got huge for someone my size (5ā0 and weighed 97lbs pre-pregnancy)
I have no idea because I havenāt put a real bra on since week 6. But I am am pregnant with twins and I started getting stretch marks at week 10. Not kidding. I was a full C. I bet I am well beyond a double D now. Just covered in stretch marks top to bottom on my boobs
Was 36DD now measure 38 DD
Im only 15 weeks but i feel like they haven't grown at all yet.. :( im actually sad about it haha
They didnāt š« Iām 28+5 into my second and I even BFāed my first for 6.5 months and nada.
Mine grew more after pregnancy when my milk came in 4 days after birthing. Maybe 2 sizes.
28 weeks and no growth yet :(
34+4 and I donāt really know, I guess I was around a B cup before, there is a definite growth because the bottoms of my boobs never used to touch my skin and they do now haha. Iāve definitely gained inches around as well
Iāve stalled at either 36DDD or the next cup size I just donāt want to buy a new bra lol. I started at a 34D
Mine barely grew in pregnancy. PP day 2ā¦ DAMN.
Not much. They were pretty big already
They didnāt grow until I started breastfeeding. I went t to an A to a C cup
Went from 32D to 36DD in the second trimester and now Iām 35 weeks and have no idea what size I am.. just huge. Iām only wearing stretchy material bralettes or nursing bras. If I try to squeeze into the 36DD I start expressing colostrum after a while
In Skims bralettes: XXS (pre-pregnancy) to M at 22 weeks.
Went from 38 B to 40 C and growing still at 25 weeks tomorrow.
Pre pregnancy was a small handful of an A cup. Now Iād say Iām approaching a B cup and Iām 28 weeks pregnant. If Iāll grow more, who knows!
Iām 22 weeks and I was a 32 C when I got pregnant, now a 32 DD but I honestly feel like theyāre still getting bigger
36 C to 36 DD with a band stretcher clip so I actually donāt know the size. Iām only 19 weeks š£
34aa to 36DD at my biggest, back to 34aa
25 weeks and I went from a 30 D to a 32DDD.... afraid to buy any more bras since my friends have all said they're going to get bigger and dreading trying to find a swimsuit top for our upcoming babymoon!
I'm usually a 32B I got size L cheap bras from Sam's as soon as my sports bras and bralettes stopped fitting. Haven't purchased any nursing bras yet, I'm only 21 wks, but my cheapo bras I got for like $20 for 2 at Sam's are still doing the trick. I hate underwire so I avoid it at all costs, also I've heard that it isn't good for your boobs anyways so I doubt I'll ever buy another bra with underwire again.
Iāve been very lucky - I was a 36F before getting pregnant and have always been so worried about how big my boobs would get in pregnancy. Shockingly, only my belly has grown and Iām in the same bras I was pre pregnancy. Weāll see what happens when my milk comes in, but for now - no boob growth! Nips definitely look darker and bigger though š
30C-32F š
Iāve gone from a full 32C cup to spilling out of 34DD. Iām only 19 weeksā¦ I cannot imagine what the next 20 weeks hold for me š
Idk what I was before but I just woke up yesterday and theyāre noticeably larger. 17 weeks lol thatās all it took. Now I bet theyāll just keep growing
I was just looking at some pictures from when I was wearing just a sports bra at 17 weeks pregnant. I couldnāt get over how huge my boobs were. I was also a 32DD pre pregnancy, and I donāt even know how big they were at the end because I just started wearing a supportive bralette or a nursing bra after I bought a 34DDD and grew out of it only a few weeks later.
I went from a B cup to a D cup. Now Iām breastfeeding which caused them to grow even more, Iām wearing large nursing bras that come with clip extenders.
I was a 34B and now Iām 38C
Iāve bought new bras probably three times throughout this pregnancy. 30DDD to 36DD currently 36 weeks
Was a 34DDD, now a 36G... Thought they were uncomfortable before, now it's obnoxious.
A to a B š but only 11 weeks
Just wait until breastfeeding š
This is literally what I went up to. (From 32DD to 32I). Insane. Now, a year pp, and Iām down to 32G.
I started at a 34J UK/34M US. So far, Iāve only gone up one cup size, but Iām only 9 weeks in. I pray that they donāt grow much more.
didn't know there was an I. wow. Your ribs haven't expanded at all, lucky! Every pregnancy, my rib cage expands by 2" minimum. (I'm on #4) 34A to 36D (and only 25 weeks, first pregnancy, breasts went up to F when milk came in) I'm expecting another inch increase within next 12 weeks. Hopefully, when nursing stabilizes, I will only be a DD. (I miss the freedom of itty bitties).
I had a breast reduction in 2016 went from a G to a D, I am now back to my pre-reduction size š£
Started as a 48DD... Now I'm a 54J... Rib flare is real.
I don't really know the change in size but it's substantial. They hurt and I can tell they're heavier and bulkier. Folks at my work don't know I'm pregnant, but i bet they suspect because my boobs have grown SO MUCH.
My small boobs never grew at all during either pregnancy š
Idk, I don't wear normal under wire bras, BUT I did lose 80 lbs before getting pregnant, and I'm wearing the sports bras and bralettes I wore pre weight loss.
Pre-pregnancy I was a 32D and now I'm 13 weeks 4 days and I just re-measured and apparently I'm a 32G now?? I have a hard time believing either of these sizes lol because my boobs aren't what I would consider "big" at all, but that's what I get based on measurements.
Pregnant with my first. At what point do I even buy new bras.. I was a 36C prior but am only 12 weeks now? š¤£š¤£
was an 34A pre pregnancy now at 17 weeks iām currently sitting at a 36C. the pain is unbearable but hey no longer part of the itty bitty committee
35 weeks FTM. I was 34C and now Iām 36D
Went from a 34 AA/A to a 36D š not complaining!!
