Sick of pregnancy inflating my boobs!

I know this is such a a privileged problem to have but I've always had small boobs and since being pregnant, my boobs just won't stop bloody growing 😬

My body just suddenly feels so unfamiliar to me and I've got several months to go and it's giving me huuuuggggggge body consciousness.

Everything just feels out of control. Like my partner grabbed them the other night and was like 'oh yeah, they've definitely swollen up again over the last few days'. I know he was happy about that, but I hate how they just keep bloody growing. Clothes that are my fail-safes are now not wearable.

Sorry, I know this is a weird whinge but I feel like I can't say this irl because it's just too niche and people have real problems. And I'll have a lovely baby at the end of it, obviously.

But I just feel like my body isn't mine and it's freaking me right out.

Can anybody relate? Give me some words of reassurance that they will deflate again, or tell me your pregnancy woes.

Or actually (slim chance I know), has anybody successfully reduced their boobage whilst pregnant?

I was like this. Went from an A/B cup pre-pregnancy to something like a GG by about 25 weeks. I didn’t know what to do with them! Plus I was buying new bras all the time.

They are now back to B cups post-breastfeeding and I think look the same as before.

Well, you clearly won't be pregnant forever, so buy different sized clothing to allow for normal body changes and focus on the baby rather than other women describing their breasts (which would no doubt be enjoyed immensely by assorted Internet herberts).

Went from an A/B cup pre-pregnancy to something like a GG by about 25 weeks. This is so reassuring @ShesTheAlbatross as is the bit about them returning to a B Cup. I am longing to be braless again!

@NeverDropYourMooncup appreciate the dirty herberts, but this is one corner of the Internet where I can talk about women focused problems with other women. Lurking (literal) wankers can just piss off.

I could have written your post OP. I absolutely hated it and couldn't wait for them to be gone. Good news, a couple of months pp I was back to an A/B cup!

@Meeting That is good news indeed. I am not a busty woman (psychologically) so this is hideous for my self-esteem.

After you had your baby, did you breastfeed or go with formula, out of interest?

I was exactly the same. I hated the way I looked in absolutely everything, even just a t-shirt and I was constantly worrying. I formula fed from birth which is probably why they went back down so quickly.
