Boobies

So my breasts feel compeltely normal, they haven't grown much nor do they hurt much. They hurt a little in the second trimester but nothing now. They dont really feel like they're getting full of milk.

Am I the only one?

Re: Boobies

  • I've leaked since 18 weeks, but they have hurt less lately.  I've read that milk doesn't come in fully until after the baby is born, so I'm not too concerned that they don't feel like they're filling up yet.  They need the stimulation of a nursing baby to know to make a bunch of milk.

  • I feel like mine have shrunk a little in the last few weeks, but they still leak each day (not a lot). That being said, they did get ginormous during the first and second trimesters, so maybe they had a little to lose!

    ETA: Oh! And they haven't hurt since about 16 weeks...

  • Nope, mine haven't grown at all either.  I've been wearing my same bras and they feel completely normal.  No leakage, no tenderness.  I was wondering the same thing.

  • Mine didn't really grow much this pregnancy either. You will get the 'full' feeling when your milk comes in a few days after birth (ouch!). I don't think you need to worry at all at this point - just enjoy the last few days/weeks of not having sore, full boobs. :)
  • I brought this same thing up with my lactation consultant. Mine haven't grown in size at all nor have I felt any other major changes recently.  I did have some changes in the very beginning (soreness, darkening and enlargement of the areolas). The LC said as long as there were some changes, I shouldn't have a problem BFing. I have leaked some colostrum (like pin drop sized leakage at least once a day) but that has been it. We won't get milk in until a couple of days after birth so I am just holding on to that hope of bigger bobbies (as I am a current member of the Ittie Bittie Club!).

  • My boobs went up about a half a cup size but that's it. They don't hurt and they only hurt a little at the start. They don't get actual milk until a few days after the baby is born, anyway.
