Bigger boob's as you get older

Has this happened to anyone else?

Im 40. I've stayed at pretty much the same weight that I always have been.

But my boob's have gotten so much bigger in the last two years. They are huge. Im all boob!

I've never had children so it's not to do with breastfeeding. Is it something to do with perimenopause? I wish I knew what goes on in our hormones!

Yes, I'm a D cup, big to me as I was always a small B cup in my youth. However I am a few stone heavier too.

Yeah I have this for some reason. Been on skinny side my whole life and that's not changed but have gone from A cup to C cup in my 40s. Hardly massive but quite a change for me.

It's just that area for me, no change in body shape elsewhere (yet!)

My boob's are absolutely massive. They're like carrying a shelf around.

Are any of you who are in roughly around peri menopause age, taking any supplements?

I do think we need to change our health routine at this age, as our body needs different things.

Yes. I’ve gone from 32A in my 20s to an F cup in my 60s. I’ve never had children. It wasn’t weight gain as I only found out I was wearing the wrong bra after losing 2st and my D cup bras still didn’t fit. Went to John Lewis and almost fainted when the lady just looked and said I was likely E or F. As I said I’ve never had children but did undergo a lot of IVF treatment with massive doses of drugs as my ovaries didn’t respond very well. That might have something to do with it. Also getting older as the breast tissue can react like a jelly in warm weather and spread out over the chest a bit more.

Doubled in size. It is in order to create a handy shelf to rest your dinner on as you age

Haha!

Yes the pill did it for me. And putting on weight!

Now I am post menopause my boobs are enormous!

It's not inevitable but I think some of it is genetic as my sister and I who resemble one side of the family are very large of nork, and my other sister, who resembles the other side of family, has stayed petite.

JulietSierra · 11/10/2024 09:44

Maddy70 · 11/10/2024 09:43

Mine are twice the size ...bloody awful

NooNakedJacuzziness · 11/10/2024 09:43

Wait til your 50s when your gut catches up with your boobs

inabubble3 · 11/10/2024 09:43

Wow! Mine are definitely bigger but I am bigger all over/ assumed the two were related 😂

Dulra · 11/10/2024 09:42

Same. I am 48 I think it is definitely to do with perimenopause, including weight gain for the first time in years despite nothing changing regarding my diet or exercise routine.

UprootedSunflower · 11/10/2024 09:42

Yes!

Womens hormones are the most intricate factory.

Someone could write a thesis on it!

There definitely should be more information out there on peri menopause and menopause, and how to keep ourselves healthy during it.

I've just started taking a peri menopause vitamin supplement.
