26 weeks pregnant and breasts suddenly got smaller

[benson76]

Hi, I'm 26 weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy and almost overnight my breasts seem to have suddenly got smaller and less firm. When I first got pregnant my breasts got larger and really firm, almost hard and now they have suddenly changed and I'm a bit worried. I've called my doctor and he seemed unconcerned but it's bothering me and I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?
Thanks...

Hi Benson,

yes, it's happened to me ! This is my first pregnancy too, and have been really looking forward to larger boobs. At 20 weeks, I had gone from size AA to a C cup and rushed out and bought some new bras. It was wonderful filling a C cup finally at the the age of 39 ! But similar to you, at 25 weeks ( I'm now 28wks) I noticed they were no longer filling out my new C cup bras and seemed to have shrunk to a size B !

I spoke to my midwife about this on wednesday, and she just thinks it's baby taking my body fat ! My little one is growing very well, and has a large AC, so I'm happy to accept this explanation !

Let's not worry too much, I'm sure they'll come back, and isn't that one of the benefits of breast feeding ?

I'm 37 weeks and noticed 2 weeks ago my breasts were smaller ie tops gaping etc. I've lost inches this pregnancy (its my 3rd), had scan this week and baby is great so not worrying. Good luck.

Thanks Goodbye Pinotgrigio! It's always good to hear from someone who is going through the same thing as you! As you said, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about and good luck with everything!....Benson

my left one has grown 3 sizes yet my right is fluctuating between 1-2 sizes! my other half laughs about it a lot as it changes daily. I swear only the left will fill with milk.
