No-Grow Boobs and No Cleavage? It could be Breast Hypoplasia! Implications for BF

[Julietee]

Hey ladies,

While doing a search for 'why haven't my boobs grown?' I came across this article on breast hypoplasia.

It turns out the shape of some women's breasts can influence milk production and ease of breast feeding.
I recognised myself in the descripton - somewhat 'tubular' boobs that lack fullness on top, are widely spaced and have no cleavage.

It'll suck if I do find breast feeding hard, but it's better to be prepared, so I thought I'd share incase anyone else recognises their boobs!

Whilst its true that women with tubular breasts can have supply problems, it's also completely normal for breasts to not get any bigger during pregnancy. Mine never have.

Midori - yes! Definitely. I feel like there should be a thread for women who don't experience the tick-list of so called ubiquitous preg symptoms :)
I didn't get morning sickness either, and no cravings.

My breasts didn't grow at all in pregnancy, stayed small, no cleavage, no fulness on top. However, when my milk came in a couple of days after giving birth they did grow and I BF 2 DC for over a year each so don't panic! :)
