Boob question

jasi704

So I'm about 37.5 weeks now and due March 1. Although it looks like I'm most likely getting induced on Feb. 24 because of GD. But that's a whole different story. Anyway...I've been taking pictures of myself every couple weeks to keep track of my growing bump. And I've noticed that my boobs haven't really grown! They look almost the same size as pre-pregnancy! Is this normal? Should I be worried? I just kinda figured my boobs would be huge by now. Anyone else have this happen to them or have any thoughts to share?? I guess I'm just mostly worried about being able to breastfeed. I don't want this to effect my supply.

I should also mention that my belly has grown normally; I've gained about 20 lbs so far.

And you're obviously bored. Thanks for the helpful commentary.

Every boob is different. I am still in pre-pregnancy bras.

Everyone, and even every pregnancy is different. Mine have grown more this time than the first time, but neither time have they grown enough to warrant a new bra. I had no trouble nursing my first.

No, you shouldn't be worried. It won't change anything anyway.

I'm bored, I'll answer. I've grown a little, but mostly just because my ribcage has expanded. Everyone expands in different places, plus everything I've ever read said that it doesn't matter what size your boobs are for breastfeeding. Boob size is not the determiner on if you'll be able to breastfeed.

And you obviously don't know how to type "does breast size affect milk production" in Google.

By the way, the answer is no. You're welcome.

Pretty sure any question EVER asked on this website has been addressed on multiple websites and can be Googled over and over again. Go troll on someone else's post if you wanna be a twat.

My boobs definitely don't get huge in pregnancy...sadly. I would like to experience huge breasts just once. They definitely feel heavier and fuller (and I think look a little nicer), but I haven't changed bra sizes this time around or anything.  The only time I noticed a significant increase in breast size was when my milk came in with DS...they settled back down pretty quickly though.  It just depends on your body. I wouldn't worry about not being able to BF at this point.

LOL...same here!

mine grew 2 cup sizes in the first trimester, none really since then. I call mine the "all you can eat buffet" i hate them, they hurt. Big boobs sound nice, but they cause major problems.

Also twat? just for a little snark? 

novelblessings

I wish, I can't fit in any of my pre-pregnancy bras, ugh I miss them! But that said I've seen the most increase in band size because of my rib cage expanding. The ladies haven't grown too much bigger than pre-pregnancy, but they feel heavier.

Edit: the correct terminology is twat-waffle. Come on get it right!

But where would it hide? She said her boobs haven't grown.

But to answer your question, the girls went up 2 sizes in the first tri, and have stayed the same ever since. I'm waiting do my sweet just got a boob job milk jugs to come in.

you are welcome.

I still cannot get it right

While we're correcting each other, you forgot to capitalize the "Y" in you. And you forgot to put a period after the word "effect."

You also are welcome.

You also are welcome.

The lack of period and capitalizing a letter does not change the meaning of the sentence, yours does. 

You clearly understood the meaning, since you answered the question. As did everyone else.

Is there a message board for mothers with poor grammar? Go there.

You needed a picture to tell? Do you wear a bra? Have you grown out of your bra?

Breast size has nothing to do with breast feeding. Change in breast size has nothing to do with breast feeding.

ETA - And thank god that massive growth isn't standard. I would be at risk of suffocating at this point of that were the case.

Well it was the pictures that made me REALLY notice. I've bought a couple of larger bras, mostly because my ribs not the cups. But I do still fit into most of my pre-pregnancy bras.

I'm just going to leave this here...mainly because it makes me giggle.

I'll play nice and answer.  I think I've been snarky lately so I'm going to try to make my karma right.

Whether or not your boobs are growing, you're bobbies are working hard getting ready for baby.  Size doesn't affect milk production.  You could be a AA cup and still provide enough for your baby.  I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for playing nice Seems a lot of us are feeling snarky lately, myself included. But I was asking because I was genuinely curious.

I really have been feeling snarky lately!  I'm so damn uncomfortable and everything irritates me.  And I have no filter anymore.   8-}

I think the word twat is terribly underutilized.

rockopera

eh, you deserved the snark. For a few reasons:

- A picture made you realize that your boobs haven't changed. Not that they haven't actually physically changed cup size. A picture. Do you see how ridiculous that seems?

- You used the board as human google. Many women here have not breastfed yet. And even if they did, their boob size and change would have no bearing on yours.

- Throwing your weight in there makes it feel like a veiled weight post. Hey guys, I haven't gained a bajillion pounds! That's okay, right?!??!? That never ever goes well on this board.

And then you came back swinging because you didn't like the responses. No one owes you anything, FYI. Especially if you ask a pretty dumb question. If you don't like the tone of the board, you don't have to hang out. And I'm not even trying to be a bitch here. Just honest. Think of it as my PSA for this afternoon. (Insert 'the more you know' gif here)

I noticed one of the otherr BMBs I was stalking (either May or June) has a Twatwaffle Tuesday. Needless to say I got pretty excited.

I'll play.

My boobs have grown two cup sizes (one in the first tri, and another in the second tri), and my milk started coming in around 20-ish weeks. That being said, one of my girlfriends has tiny boobs and hers barely grew. She gave birth in December at 37 weeks, and up to that point, her milk hadn't come in. But although she had an epi, c-section, and her baby spent some initial time in the NICU, she was able to breastfeed like a champ right from the get-go. So, really, you are normal, and you will likely be able to BF just fine.

But where would it hide? She said her boobs haven't grown.

Because comparing boob sizes while pregnant is as useless as comparing how much weight has been gained/lost.

I have no shame in saying that I just watched your horny boo boo gif for about 5 minutes straight. That said, my post was a failed and miserable attempt at me trying to make a joke about how OP is complaining about her small boobies. It was supposed to be like "But where is there room for a weight post to hide, if her boobs haven't grown big enough for it to hide in?". I lose.

Thanks! Your friend's experience is certainly reassuring.

@rockopera Everything you said, plus the fact that I have no idea who she is and it took me like, 1 minute to Google her question. (Even though I already knew the answer from googling it myself many moons ago.) I'll take this question seriously when I see her participating in threads and offering support to other people.

Gotcha. Guess we have to be best cyber friends for you to take me seriously. I have posted numerous times in this board and others, and I don't require your validation in order to ask a simple question.

And since you "googled it many moons ago," it must have been a concern of yours at some point or at least you were curious. So don't judge me for having the same concern.

P.S. Blow me.

Yep, that will go a long way in endearing yourself to an established community. You know, as you seem to think that these internet strangers who you haven't supported owe you answers and stories and support. I'm sure this won't be the last time you take your uneducated questions to the internets.

No one here needs your validation to react to stupid questions posted by relative strangers. Lectures don't work here. By all means, have your meltdown if it makes you feel good. But know that it won't make any difference to anyone else.

I like to just shorten 'twat waffle' to 'twaffle'. And twat is an excellent word, I agree!

I've never understood why everyone thinks the second they get pregnant they'll start looking like this:

Awwwwww, I LOVE how some of you feel the need to acknowledge me wherever I post, it really does make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

On another note, people shouldn't NEED to be your best friend to ask a question, would you spend 8 months kissing strangers arses before you asked them the time?

Maybe it's time people really did grow up and realise "The Bump" and the rest of the world does NOT revolve around them!

@Jasi, don't worry too much about the bitchiness on here, it's generally just the same few over and over who like to stick together and cause drama where there was none before (yet accuse YOU of doing it instead). There ARE still some decent people lurking on here too

VanessaBee

Argh!! I have to ask. Do people not read anymore?! There weren't many pregnancy books that I read cover to cover but OF COURSE I had and used them as reference material when questions like this came up. Who knows better than a bunch of internet strangers what's normal and what's not? Doctors. Midwives. Books into which decades of scientific research have gone. GRUMP GRUMP GRUMP.

Haha... Thanks

And I'm not worried; the bitchiness doesn't phase me at all. At least it provides some entertainment for me while I neglect the pile of work on my desk!

Erm, so because YOU may have been "leaving me alone" means i can't like someone's posts?? And knock it the fuck off, i've seen you "like" others posts about me recently, don't play dumb with me?
