Help! What's happening to my boobs?

[susiemj]

I am a bit freaked out. I seem to have gone from an original 32D to a 38C or even 40C and I'm only 21 weeks pregnant. Is this even possible? I don't really seem to have put on loads of weight. Can anyone tell meif this is normal? I'm homebound at the moment due to a pregnancy complication and I'm nowhere near any shops that could do a proper fitting. Help!

your ribs expand as the baby gets bigger, plus your boobs do as well (how come youve gone down a cup size? have they got bigger? sorry but i have no understanding of boobs as i am completly flat chested and being 11 wks pg has increased mine to the MASSIVE size of an A cup!!!)

Sounds like a big jump in size alright..but I wouldnt worry....its probably hormonal!!!
I took off at great speed at the begining too , am now 38 weeks and still wearing same bra size I was at 20 weeks...so all may slow down for you too!!!
sorry to hear you are house bound..hope you are letting everyone pamper you!

Aye, by the time I was six week pregnant I'd gone from a 36 D to a 36 E. It's a miracle that my tits didn't explode. Saying that, I am now 20 weeks and the same size. Thankfully F cups remain to large. Long may it continue!

I shouldn't fear Susie. And I hope that being housebound goes OK. Balance a tin of chocs on your tum and get out a good book.

Gawd yes. By that stage I'd gone from 34C to 36E. Thankfully I didn't increase any more and have stayed the same whilst bf.

Makes my tummy look smaller anyway.

Thanks for your support. Still freaked though! I'm hoping I'll be like you Tod and now I'll slow down. I think the cup size has gone down because the cups get relatively bigger as you go up on the ribcage size (so a C cup on a 36C is smaller than on a 38C - the Cup on a 36D might be the same as a 38C). Anyway, I've taken the plunge - so to speak - and am expecting a couple of big girls bras through the post!

Don't worry. With ds2 I got huge(er!) boobs very very quickly. It freaked me too especially when the M&S bra lady thought it was something I should be pleased about!!
Hope all going well, I was on bed rest and house bound a lot with ds1 -
lots of pampering and some good books is definitely the way to get through it!
