A question for the Larger chested ladies

hsweetman · February 2011

My breasts grew huge around 18 weeks going from a 34DD to a 36 H I am just wondering how much more I should expect them to get when my milk comes in? Also are there any online sites that you can get bigger nursing bras from if I out grom the ones I have now?

I think there is no way to predict, everyone body is different. During my 1st pregnancy, I did not go up a cup size just a band size, until my milk came in. Then they were huge for a couple of weeks and went back to about normal (pre-pregnancy).

This time around I started in 36DD and I am now in 40DDD. I purchased some nursing bras already because they had a great sale going on. I know they likely wont fit after LO comes. So they are in the bag with tags still on so I can exchange them once everything has settled down. I would not buy a bunch of nursing bras maybe just a few sleep bras. Until you know what size you will be.

I went from a 32F to a 32i with ds. The nursing bras were also 32i, and I swear they were a little too tight when my milk came in. I only got back down to a 32H.

Really not looking forward to the milk coming in again!

I just bought a regular bra because mine are so big and not really perky. I have to breastfeed in the football position so really didnt see much use for a nursing bra. I would have to whip a breast out completely anyways. I did by a nice sports type bra in a size up that way I will have a little wiggle room.

I started my frst as a 34F and went up to a 36H for the first few months after my milk came in.... However I breast fed for a year and my breast are bigger now that I am 29 weeks pregnant than when I was breast feeding... But than again I have been pregnant or breast feeding non stop since Nov 08.

With DD I went from a 34C to a 36DD when my milk came in (but really just for like 2 wks - not for long considering I had a huge supply for months), then stayed a 34D until I stopped pumping.

Check out BravadoDesigns.com - I'm always recommending them bc the bras are so comfortable and hold up well, plus they have a huge range of sizes.

I went from a 36DDD pre-preg to a 36 H or K (depending on brand). I've had success with Elomi, Bravado, Freya & HOTMilk brands. I ordered them online from herroom.com or figleaves.com

I went up a cup size while pregnant. I was huge for a week or so after my milk came in. They went down after that, and I went to get measured for a nursing bra. I didn't wear said bra, on a regular basis, until I went back to work. I actually felt like I had enough support from my target nursing tanks.
