My boobs went up to cups sizes in the first 2 months with my first pregnancy, I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and my bra is getting to small. Try the symptom thread it may help you too.
Going up 2 cup sizes seems to be average, but I'm only a 32 C so I welcome the big boobs. It's an old wives tell, but if you breast "blossom" it's a girl. If you areola's get darker and bigger it's a boy. I had big boobs and a girl the first time, maybe I'll be having another girl. Just some randomness for you....
@KristinaD217 I'm a size 2/4 depending on the brand so with (all natural) boobs the size of mine it has made my lower back hurt some now that I'm pregnant, but they say that lower back pain is already a symptom for some. But it hasn't been crazy because I'm 5'9 so I'm grateful I haven't had too much pain!
I'd kill for DD or even DDD. I'm a 38 J. Just ordered brand new bras at Thanksgiving and they are already too small. I'm not looking forward to trying to find bras for BF.

This was one of my first symptoms and why I tested. My boobs literally grew and got heavy the day I got my BFP. It actually surprised me- I had no clue they would grow so early and quickly. I need to bra shop, I'm spilling out and need a new size. I'm kinda afraid to get new ones, though, in case I grow more? Maybe I'll get cheaper ones to tide me over in case.

Walmart has cheap maternity/nursing bras that saw me through two pregnancies and a combined four and a half years of breastfeeding. Durable things, and they are supportive but also have give to allow for expansion.

Thanks, maybe I'll check there (AFTER Christmas, no way I'm going to stores now!). I'm just into spending over $30 for several bras if I'm not done growing.

Girl, you have my sympathies. I will be sure to share if I hear of any good sales on the busty lady sites.
My first symptom looking back was the bigger tatas. I figured that time of the month was approaching which was giving me the soreness. This is a much better reason

I'm a 8/9 pants size and kind of short 5 foot 4, and they have always given me problems. Even more so now that I'm pregnant.

I think the reason I never had back problems is because I was a classical dancer from the age of 2-22. So I danced ballet and (pointe, started at 8) my whole life pretty much and I do yoga all the time. If you've always had back problems I would seriously consider yoga, it will change your life and make you feel amazing after getting the hang of it.
I'm a bit bigger than usual. With DD I went from a small B to a big DD before she was even born. I think I bought more bras that year than I had ever purchased in my life. DH was thrilled.
I have tiny boobs, but they definitely feel bigger now (5 weeks) and husband agrees. I'm really excited to have real boobs for once in my life, even if they are tender.
@hellcat213 preach it, fellow small-chested friend. I keep asking H if they seem bigger and analyzing the way my bra fits. I honestly don't think mine have gotten bigger at all, but then again I'm only 4 weeks.

I've gone up one size so far. Same for me they felt heavy and sensitive before I took my test! Went to get a new sports bra bc mine were fitting too tight and not supporting...now up to 36 DD had to order my sports bra online bc VS didn't have my size at the store can't imagine women bigger cup sizes! I told my husband I hope my boobs don't get any bigger and he looked at me like 'what are you crazy' and said in sarcastic voice "yeah I hope my penis doesn't grow any bigger either" lol I was like well at least my husband will be happy if they get bigger...hoping it's gradual if so...hate stretch marks! Already using coco butter! (7wks 4 days)
Bigger ladies here too. I am a size 2 and 34d bust that has already increased at least one size if not more. And wow, they are sore! Hubby is happy though.
I'm 7 weeks today and I've gained a full cup size (34DD to 34DDD) - they feel heavy and sensitive. I'm actually a little nervous about how big they might get! I love being busty but this could get out of control.
Also, for those new to the DD+ world, specialty stores are a godsend. Nordstrom also generally has a great selection of DD+ bras, and sometimes you can find them at Macy's (though not as often, at least for the ones by me).
I posted earlier about my being 'gifted' as MH calls it. Lane Bryant has a large selection of larger bras and they have sales going on year round.
