How many cup sizes?

I thought a little survey might be interesting/fun. How many bra cup sizes have you gone up during your pregnancy? I have (so far) gone up from a C to a G. How can this be possible? Surely they can't get any bigger? I unearthed one of my pre-pregnancy bras today and was just shocked at the change in size.

I went from 36B to 34G while feeding Grin and post pregnancy have settled at 34E. I am delighted!!!

I was a 32C cup pre DC, three babies later I am a 32GG

I am jealous.

I'm 33wks & mine haven't grown at all, not even a teeny weeny bit.

I've gone from 34D to 36E...not sure if that means I have put 2 inches of fat onto my back during 12 wks of pregnancy?

Finally went shopping today & feel very comfy in my new giant bras :)

I had just gone down to a B, then found out I was pregnant and went up a whole size plus a cup...but I noticed that one side is hugely bigger than the other, they don't cater for that in bras do they! pmsl. At this rate I will be bigger than Jordan when my milk comes in after :D

still an A at 16 weeks :(

diyqueen · 24/11/2010 23:02

Was an A before, if that, and now just about a B at 23 weeks - was ridiculously excited at being able to buy a B-cup bra!

i was a 36B prior to dd and all the way through my pregnancy with her. she was born on the saturday and then on the monday when my milk came in i went up to a F - in three hours OUCH. they settled to a D afterward and remained so until i lost some weight and now they are a C. i am 6 weeks pregnant and they haven't changed at all yet.

From a 36 b to a 38 EE at 37 weeks.

WhatWillSantaBring · 25/11/2010 13:16

from 32D (or DD depending if you count the fact that I put on a stone just before I got pregnant) to a 34GG. I'm so jealous of you ladies who have normal sized boobs - I was only just able to cope as a 32DD and I hate the monstrosities I have now. Mum reckons that they will never shrink back to their original size :(

WhatWillSantaBring · 25/11/2010 13:23

Oh yes, and that was in the first 10 weeks - luckily they settled a bit but I'm dreading to see what happens when the milk comes in.

Ihopeyoudance · 25/11/2010 15:50

I started off a DD cup and I'm still a DD at 33 weeks. I feel shortchanged! Wink
One of you lot clearly got my share!

autumnberry · 25/11/2010 16:40

Broccolitrees, that's a lot of growing in a short time! Ouch!

it was autumn! and it was painful and my boobs were the only place to get stretch marks!

lucielooo · 26/11/2010 13:14

Gone from an F to a G only 20 weeks.. am dreading my 40 weeks Z cups!

AllBellyandBoobs · 26/11/2010 13:17

G to GG (at 23 weeks), although I think an H may be necessary in the next month or so. I'm hoping that'll be that until the milk comes in as I have no idea how I'll find nursing bras to fit. I'm telling myself that there's enough room there already so too much further growth shouldn't be necessary

Icoulddoitbetter · 26/11/2010 13:28

I don't really know as I was measured at Mothercare who were rubbish so I wore the wrong size pretty much throughout!

I was measured at a lovely little independent bra shop 6 months into BF and I was a 32D, rather than my usual 32C, but I think I was a bit bigger in the early days.

superpenguin · 26/11/2010 14:23

I'm 26 weeks now with my first and gone from an A to a C cup.

MuffinMouse · 26/11/2010 21:59

I got measured at Bravissimo when I was breastfeeding. I was pre-pregnancy a 32F or 34E. When bf I went up to a 32J!!

The good news is that they went back to pre-pregnancy size by the time I had stopped bf at 14months. Phew!

lucykate · 26/11/2010 22:01

with dd, i went from a 34d to a 34f but with ds i can't remember.
