WHAMI've always had large boobs. I started off as a 36DD before I was pregnant. Large yes, but manageable. They have now ballooned to a 38E! I blew right out of a DDD and had to move on up to an E cup plus a larger band size. I'm not sure how much more growth I can take! They are seriously out of control!!! I told DH that after I have all of my babies, I am going to get a reduction and a lift! To be honest, I think dh is a little amazed and fascinated with how big they have gotten!Â
My question is, should I be expecting anymore growth or have I already hit most of the boob growth at this point of the pregnancy? And will they go back down after pregnancy or are they destined to be this big forever??

Wow. I started out with a nearly A and now it's a nearly B.. maybe. I am not sure how much more breasts grow in or after the second trimester but I think with the milk coming in.. there would be more volume?

Well I can tell you that with my first child, I started as an "A" cup and by the time I gave birth and was breast feeding, I was a size "DD"! That was a huge increase. After that I was reduced back down to a steady "C" cup.Â
With this pregnancy I've already increased to a size "D" cup and I'm only 18 weeks along. I am prepared to go back to a full "DD" by the time I deliver as my breasts will be fully engorged with milk.Â
With this example, I think you really have a chance of still growing larger, but every woman is different. Good luck!

Here is how my "growth" was with DS: i started out a 36D. I am a very small framed girl and weighed 105lb. During my pregnancy i went up to a 36EEE!!!!! Then after i had my son that bra was tight! I nursed my son and my boobs did get larger while nursing but i didnt buy any more bras. I used sports bra types while at home and if i had a nice outfit to wear i would just squeeze into my 36EEE and make it work. Everyone is different but i would definitely expect more growth based on my experience.

From people I've talked to, some women say their boobs shrink after they are done nursing and some women stay a cup size or so bigger then from where they started. I have no idea since I haven't been through it yet!!

I'd say definitely prepare for some more growth!!! Last time my boobs kept growing throughout my pregnancy and then when my milk came in, holy smokes they were incredible!!!! I had to get the biggest cup size nursing bras I could find, I think it was an F or a G cup! I am normally a large C cup. This time around I'm already busting out of my D's so I'll need go get my double DD's out soon! My bb's went back to normal size after having dd but not normal shape, they never got their perkiness back :-(

With my two other preg. I always grew two sizes well prg. than another size up when I would nurse. However, for me after, I nursed my second baby, I drop down one size. With this prg. I started at 105 pounds and a b cup.. now I am large c cup..I only 18 weeks..I know that they will get bigger after the baby is born and while I am nursing. I just hope this time once I finish nursing they stay a c cup at least... So I think you should expect to get bigger..

i forgot to mention...after nursing they shrivled up and deflated. I then became a 32 dd which really isnt very big. i have to get custom bras b/c i am so flat at the top of my bbs and all the volume is at the bottom...kinda like a sagging water baloon. Its not pretty at all. im enjoying having pretty boobs again but i can only imagine what is instore after this go round!!

I think that an F or G cup is in my future! Do they even sell those sizes in stores or do you have to order them online?

Oh my Gosh BeFu! I am so glad I am not the only one who has the saggy type water balloons after BF my DS! I went from a C cup, to really overflowing my DDD cup while nursing (I didn't want to spend more money on nursing bras so I squeezed into my DD and DDD's. I hope they don't get any bigger second go round because DDD was plenty big for me!
Â
After stopping BF I eventually went down to a D, but didn't go back to my original C, until I lost 40 pounds right before this baby. Now I am already right back into my D again...and growing. I also agree BeFu with the sagginess issue for this time. Here's to our girls coming back perky(ish) after round 2!

I can honestly not imagine E, F, and G!!!! and certainly not DD, EE(E), FF, GG!!!!
Â
I was a B cup before this pregnancy and just bought a 36C today,I am 19 weeks and they seem to get bigger every week!!! Being pg is the only time I actually have bb's LOL. Before my 1st baby I was an A cup.
Â
Funny BB story: those of you who only get bbs w/ pg will appreciate this: about 4-6 weeks ago I reached over across the coffee table and knocked over a can of soda with my left boob and was like "how did that happen" LOL Just so used to not having to worry about them getting in the way it was a bit shocking!

We could be twins! I hope this isn't gross or wayyyy TMI, but I stare at my bb's all the time. I too only have bb's when PG or nursing so I just keep looking at them and looking at them in total disbelief that I actually have some... Sadly, they go back to pre-PG size for me. Oh, and I get the added loveliness of lost volume like Befu and azrovey. At least you two have boobs when you're done!

You sound just like me!!! I got up to an E or F cup but then bought these stretchy types of nursing bras to wear from about 22 weeks and on. I'm already wearing them now! Hang in there....post pg bbs are NOT pretty (for the most part) but totally worth it! I will have mine reduced and lifted after this baby at some point as well!

Before pregnancy I was a 36DD then went up to 36F. I tried on every bra in Motherhood Maternity and could find one that fit properly. they told me to try their website but I need to try them on before purchasing. I eventually found some at jcpenneys. I didn't nurse and after my pregnancy went down to a 36D. good luck!

For DD I started out at a 36 DD and by the time I had her I went to a 38G. Those bras got snug once my milk came in but I stuck it out becuase I couldn't find bigger bras anywhere around here.
Â
So far with the pg I started out at 36 DD and don't know where I am at now, but do now I am at least 38 DDD if not 38 E becuase I am fitting in both of those bras.
