STMs: boob question

Ktbug613

Ive seen a lot of posts, so I know I  am not alone in the girls doubling in size already. My question is when do they stop? Surely I shouldn't be expecting this rate of growth for the whole 9 months?

Mine leveled off around the beginning of 2nd tri- they got a tiny bit bigger after that, but it was very gradual. Until DD was born- then they exploded. I was wearing a GG for the first several months that i was nursing, then they went back to my pregnancy size, but are still saggy and sad

I'm no help. Mine don't get bigger hardly at all until the milk comes in. I would think it would start to slow down in the 2nd tri, and then grow again after the baby is born. GL!

Same here, and like PP said, I think generally around 2nd tri.

I go up a cup size during first tri, and it stays there until my milk comes in. Thank goodness!

I'm up 2 cup sizes and only in week 11. I'm afraid by the time I'm breast feeding I won't be able to find a bra large enough!

Ditto pp... I think they slowed down after 12ish weeks, and EXPLODED after baby was born and milk came in.

Mine grew mostly after baby....I was a full 2 cups sizes bigger while BFing.

you can find bras you just might have to look new places. How big are you? I might be able to help you know where to find larger ones

Mine grew a bit in 1st tri, then leveled out for the rest if pg. They got a little bigger after DS was born and I was bf but my stretchy nursing bras still fit. They went back down to prepregnancy size after I was done bf. I only gained about 26 lbs w/pg though, so that might make some difference. It may not for some women but I would say that it has some bearing.

In all 3 of my pregnancies it stopped for me around 30 weeks.

Yeah mine exploded initially, went up two or three sizes, and then it really slowed or stopped about 22 weeks or so. Now they are smaller than they were before I ever got pregnant.

I'm so glad you asked this question!  Mine are definitely bigger and I've only got one bra that I am comfortable in.  I want to go buy some more, but am afraid I'll keep growing.  It sounds like everyone is different, but I'll level out after 1st tri.  Looks like I'm going shopping!

Hi mine got bigger the first trimester and then leveled off at the second. They were also very hard and sore the first trimester and that leveled off too. They didnt grow really again until the milk came in. I think it also depends on the pregnancy though because with this baby they haven't really grown at all.
