Hi
I'm 23 weeks and was horrified to find out today that I'm now a 34FF Blush having started out a 32DD. How much bigger are they going to get? Shock

Well do you want the good news or the bad news??? Only joking! Be prepared to go up another few cup sizes, have yourself measured regularly by a reputable fitter and when you get near due date get fitted with feeding bras a size bigger than you are on that date, it will give you some 'space' when your milk comes in. I hope that helps?

Thanks Heksie. Helps and scares! Grin

Started at 30ff. Went to 34g by time full term. Reached 32j when feeding (milk coming in bit was off the scale). They went back to 30g and then went round the same cycle 2 times more with ds2 and 3.

I started at 32DD, went up to 34G during pg and apart from the three days when my milk came in, have stayed at 34G while bf. so don't panic tOo much, that might be it for you!

Just bought 34GG at 20wks, normally 32DD. Breasts bigger than bump! This is 3rd prgncy but boobs much bigger this time around. I feel your horror.

30DD before and went very quickly up and up. Now a 32HH at 28 weeks. I went off the scale briefly last time (big boobs, pre-eclampsia swelling and milk) but they went down to a more manageable (if GG/ H is manageable!!!) size after a week or two. Definitely got bigger faster this time! I know what you mean about more boobs than bump!

First pregnancy here. I went from 32B to 32E in the first month Shock of knowing (at about week 6 I guess I was fitted). I was also getting mega worried, BUT have just been refitted at 39 weeks and am STILL 32E so it doesn't always keep going up and up and up....!!

I find it's an up and down rollercoaster during pregnancy, milk coming in, regular breastfeeding & then getting back to normal.

I was a 34DD before DC1. Biggest they've got to so far was a 34J when my milk came in after DC2. They were a 34FF when I was feeding and went back down to a 34E. I'm now 30 weeks into pregnancy #3 and they've "blossomed" to a 34GG (don't think I was this big last time, so god knows how big they'll get when the milk comes in!)

This will be the last one though, so I'm looking forward to binning all the different sizes and buying some lovely new sets this time next year.

I'm actually a bit jealous. I've been stuck at the same boring 34B the whole time.... sob.

Everyone is different, unfortunately!

I only went from 32A to 34C via one change at beginning, one near end and one post birth with milk coming in... then dropped down to more like AA after breastfeeding!

Only just starting to refill my A cup bras properly at a few weeks in with no2. So we shall see.

Mine went from 32D to 34E the first time. I think something similar is going to happen this time round.

Make sure you moisturise them! I bought Palmers cocoa butter and didn't get one stretch mark on my stomach. Unfortunately I didn't think about the effects on my boobs and they are covered in stretch marks now.

At 26 weeks I have gone from 34 DD to 36 E, so not too bad so far, but I have a feeling they are going to get bigger. What's annoying is that the cheaper bras don't give me the support I need, but I am sick of spending loads of money on bras that I will only wear for a couple of months.

WinterLover · 27/04/2011 19:56

I've gone from 34G to 36/38HH and almost at 36/38J :( Im dreading BF as Im told they get bigger still :(

Tasha2510 · 27/04/2011 20:29

I have gone from a 36C to 38DD!! All I see when I look in the mirror is boobs!! I hate it. I am panicking that I will go up more in the back and wont be able to find a bra that fits!! Think BF is loving it though!

LouisaJF · 27/04/2011 20:54

Oh god, mine have already expanded at a rapid rate, and I'm only 9+4. I dread to think how big they're going to get.

DH thinks it's Christmas.

MonkeeMummy · 27/04/2011 21:07

I've gone from a 34B to 36DD. They look great but boy are they uncomfortable and I can't wait to have my boobs back again... sometime next year (sob!)... Just bought another 2 maternity bras and am really hoping that'll be my last purchase (but am only 24 weeks). They also seem to be much bigger in the evening Confused.
