CPW: Boobs

Uptowngirl2009

I don't know if we do CPW over here but I have a poll. I have really small boobs (like A cup) and the side effect I'm most looking forward to this pregnancy is the increase in boob size! I haven't noticed any difference yet sadly.

When did you notice a difference in your breast size?

I've already gone from a B to a D, and I'm only 8 weeks.  They grew to that by week 5, and it sucks.

Granted I used to be larger and have DD boobs. So I don't know if they just re-filled in easier.  My mom also said that her boobs went from D to DDD in only a few weeks when she was pregnant, and they still have yet to go down. Even with her weight loss. So I'm just telling myself that these things will probably be here forever. :-(

Mine seem fuller and slightly bigger, but I haven't had to buy a new bra yet or anything.

Mine are normally a D or DD. during first trimester they grew and then once my milk came in they grew even more both times. I am now a G or H depending on the bra.

I started as a 34C, and at around 8 weeks I went to a D. Then around the end of second trimester I jumped up to a DD. Post pregnancy I am a 38E.

Mine went from a d to an e after birth and my milk came in.

Mine haven't changed yet. I am assuming at this point they won't until my milk comes in. And once that dries up, I am hoping to go back to normal. I am a 32DD so I would be happy if they didn't grow.

Mine was kind of gradual. I went from a 32 B to a 32 C in first tri but I already had the next size up bras because I had been that big before. By Christmas I needed a 32 D which was 25 weeks. Afterwards when my milk came in I just wore a size B sports bra trying to squeeze it as tight as possible to aid in drying up because I formula fed. I never knew my boobs could get that big...it was insane. My milk went all the way around to my back and up to my collar bone.

And now I am back down to a 32B. Technically I should wear a 28C but I have never seen that size anywhere. I want to check out the Double Divas store.

I was a 38DD pre-pregnancy and never changed sizes during my pregnancy. They stayed completely the same.

Interested to see what happens when my milk comes in, though.

Mine got smaller. Boo.

@wiggy I don't think I've ever even heard of a 28C. What a difficult size to find.

@wiggyslilsis, I hate having a hard to find bra size. I wear a bra that doesn't even fit me because you very rarely find anything larger than a 36 A and I need a larger band size. I probably should go be properly fitted but (FFC) I refuse to go into Victoria's Secret and there aren't many other places I know of that do bra fittings anymore. I saw someone mentioning that Motherhood stores will fit you so I may try to go there eventually. But then once I know my real size there's always the problem of finding it...

That's why I'm hoping my boobs grow so I can maybe find a decent bra!

With DS, it was first tri. I went from a B to a D overnight it seemed. This time it wasn't until 2nd tri that I needed bigger bras.

wiggyslilsis

Well I went to Victoria Secret and they measured me and said oh. 28 C well they don't make that size so here is a 34 A. I have found 32 B works best because a 34 band basically falls off of me. The only size I have seen in a 30 is A and that does not work at all!

It frustrates me that women are kept in this box of sizes when really we come in all sizesand shapes and should be accomadated. If you want to fit yourself thenyou can just use a measuring tape. Go under your boobs. That number around +2 for even or +1 for odd is your band size. Then go around your boobs...the difference between the number you got from around below your boobs and around your boobs is your cup size. AA+0, A+1,B+2,C+3,D+4,DD+5, etc.

I'm 27 weeks and I've noticed no difference in mine. 

botanicalbliss

I went up a cup size and band size in 1st tri.  I went up again after my milk came in, but now we're back down to just 1 cup size above where I originally was.

LittleLady77

I voted first tri but I'm only in my second tri. All the growth happened right away for me.

amccul20

I'm still in my first trimester and my boobs are huge. Like my boobs no longer fit in my 34b bra, like at all. I have no idea what my new bra size is. I have to go bra shopping soon but the boobs are still growing so I dot want to buy to soon

I don't think my boobs have grown.  DH disagrees.  I did have to get some new bras, though, because I went from a 36 to a 38.  I also had to get something without an underwire because the pressure/tightness was just crazy.  My cup size has stayed the same.

I hate Victoria's Secret.  I got fitted at a Gap Body before.  And I think Nordstrom does them too.

I saw a slight increase in the first tri. However, week 16 came and they were like, "BAZINGA!" in your face. I'm now a full C/small D. When I did my medication change (side effect was breast enlargement), I went from an A to B. It's been a painful 2 years of constantly growing boobs lol

I was already large, yet deflated looking after stopping BF'ing my son. 1st tri it all came back.. I'm not a 32 overflowing I.. I'm thinking I need to donate some!!

My two BFFs both have large boobs. In high school, we always used to have this joke that they wished their boobs were made of Playdough so they could just take some off of theirs and give it to me.

Thanks for your responses, ladies! I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait and see what will happen with my own!

I was a 36D and I'm now a 38E. I really hope they get smaller after I stop BFing.
