How much did your boobs grow?

For those who have had babies before, how many cup sizes did you go up during pregnancy? First trimester my boobs were incredibly sore and immediately went up two cup sizes.
Now at 17 weeks they're no longer sore and seem to have stopped growing (which would be great because they're grossly huge). Could it be that they're mostly done or is this just wishful thinking??

Re: How much did your boobs grow?

  • They could remain that size throughout the rest of your pregnancy; however, if you choose to breast feed, it is likely that your breasts will get larger as your milk fills in (after baby is born). I'm normally a C, I'm a D now, and when my milk comes in I'm usually an E. I consider this a perk of pregnancy! ;)

  • Mine grew this time and last time up until 13 weeks or so. Then they stayed that size throughout pregnancy. They will grow a little bit more when your milk comes in But that's why nursing bras are super stretchy and have more room. Nursing they go from Es to Ds depending how long I waited between feedings and how much my son ate.

    I'm amoung the pitiful few that mine don't grow one little bit!! I start as an A and finish as an A!! Lol but my milk also never comes in, so that doesn't ever effect mine.

    I am in the grossly huge category too:-(
    1- started an f and maxed out at a j
    2- started a gg and maxed out between j/k
    3- started an f and so far am a gg...but they are still sore and growing at 16 weeks :-( Oh and I'm only a 36 bandwidth :-/
  • I am HUGE too.  With DS I grew 3-4 cups and now I am a G.  Buy cheap but comfy things until your milk comes in and then get what you want.  I suggest the cheap nursing tanks from target just get XL or XXL for the hospital and buy things after you get home.

    Mine started out as a C and are now an overflowing DD at 16W5D.  I'm sure they will continue to grow -_- HAHAH
  • Im kind of curious how big I'll get this time. STM and I was a B- pre kiddo and became a D and stayed that way. So far this time I think I'm still a D (pretty full D IDK maybe I'm a bigger cup but haven't measured) and I know I should get bigger with milk. I breastfed 1.5 year with my son and plan to do the same with this little girl. Will they get even bigger again and stay that way.....we'll see. Hmmmm.... 
  • My friend told me I'll definitely go up when my milk comes in... Funny enough, her husband told my husband the same thing lol my husband is loving it because I was a 34B (36A most days because it was more comfortable) my 'bandwidth' has gone up to 38 for comfort. Rib cage is expanding for the baby I assume.

  • I was wondering this too... Started as a 32b now at 16 weeks I'm a full 34c could probably wear 34d. It will be interesting to see what happens once my milk comes in. I know I'm not huge but I feel huge! Hubby is definitely enjoying it now though!
  • Mine haven't changed at all.

  • I have not even had my baby and they went up two sizes was a B now a D this is me 4 months pregnant now I'm almost 5
  • I started out as a 36C and I'm up to a 38DD but closer to an F cup at 17 weeks. They'll probably grow more (they did last time), so I'm just going to hope I don't have to spend too much on bras! Once I'm done having kids, I'd like to get a breast reduction/lift because they're just so out of control. I'd love to be a B cup!

    Haha same here! I'm at a 32ddd now and I feel like they just look hangy and too big. But my husband on the other hand...he cannot get over it!! It's like I got an instant boob job in his mind.
  • Mine usually end up going like 2 or 3 cup sizes by the time my milk comes in. My boobs are the only place I get stretch marks.
  • I was a 32C, by second tri with #1 I was a 32D (and am now at 17w). I went up to a 32FG by the end of second tri, it fit until 38w with a band expander. I went as big as a 34HI when my milk came in, but after a few weeks they settled, and once my rib cage was back to normal I was a 32FG for the first year while BFing. Once she began dropping feedings I went back to a 32C until I got pregnant again.

  • I was always chestier with me other pregnancies so didn't notice much increase in size but I have lost lots of weight in past yr so with this one I started at 34 b and just other day got measured at 36 DDD I just wanted to cry actually I did I will never complain again if I go back smaller Chested
    After all my three previous babies I did not breastfed and I got breast infections Dr told me this is very common in lrg breasted woman
  • I went from an A to a C...which I proabably could have fit a D in my first pregnancy. Then I went back down to a C. I've heard that they don't grow as much after the first time. They are getting pretty uncomfortable in my bras and I have been wearing more sports bra. I would like to not have to get a ton of bras as they get bigger. I might just switch to sports bras for the most part until I go out and get nursing bras. My husband loves my boobs, but he can't touch LOL!!! They hurt too bad.

    I am part of this group too! I do go from almost A to a B, it is my pregnancy perk. I was an A before my first, but breastfeeding deflated my boobs.
  • 34 D for me here. It increased to a bit past 34 DD for now. This happened with my last pregnancy and during nursing I jumped to a 36 FF and remained that way until I stopped nursing which deflated back to a 34 D.

    Girl, I thought you said B-. I'm like that's some new ish right there. Lmao
  • I started a 36b to a 38C so far. The 38C is okay right now, but any growth and I will be jumping to a d.

  • Mine went from a B to a DD in the first trimester then the last trimester went up to an E. They maintained an E cup through nursing then went down to DD. This time I started at DD and they're already a G cup. I sure hope they don't grow much more, but I'm only in the second trimester. There usually is one last jump in size at the end as they get ready to nurse.

    Thank you for making me feel normal! Mine have not changed either!

  • Mine have gone from a small B to a very full C, could be close to D. I won't lie... I love it.
  • I went from a 32D to 32H with my first. They went down to a 32F in between and then back up again! Just recently I went up to a 34H to be more comfortable.

    Everyone is different but I recommend keeping yourself in good bras. I was told and believe that will help reduce saggy boobs. Here's hoping....
  • With my first I started as a B and they pretty much stayed that way through out my pregnancy, I think maybe they grew to a C by the last few weeks. When my milk came in I was a full D. I nursed for 13 months and during that time they slowly deflated to barely a B. They looked like pancakes... Now they've filled out and are a full C at almost 19 weeks.

  • I've gone up a cup size, nearly two... My husband loves it but they're too sore to touch!
  • I've gone up a cup size and haven't had any soreness at all. Hubby is quite happy about this part of pregnancy haha
  • Mine haven't grown at all. :( I'm almost 19 weeks and have been a long time member of the Itty bitty titty committee so I was kind of looking forward to the growth lol

    I started out at a D cup and went up to a DDD I my first trimester. My boobs have slowed down but haven't stopped my bras are extremely uncomfortable now. So I wear nursing bras now because they are comfortable and stretchy

    *I am a first time mom
  • Me either. No visits from the titty fairy here. I'm a 34b. I'm starting to worry about whether or not I'll be able to breastfeed.
  • Just throwing this out there, I was excited to find that Gillian flynn makes nursing bras that you can get at target. That's the brand I normally get anyway. Decided to just pick a couple up because I don't see much point in buying a bra that will be useless in a few months.
  • Instead of my cup size changing, I went from 36c to 40c. 19wks tomorrow.

    Breastfeeding doesn't have anything to do with the size of your breasts. They will probably get a bit bigger when your milk comes in but you can still nurse successfully with a small chest.
