Answer by jennifer
I’m a 34b and when i was pregnant they didn’t change what so ever, much to my disappointment!!

Answer by Niky B
Well…I was a 36 D and I had to buy sports bra’s because even a DD would not hold me. They get pretty big.

I was a d cup with both of my first 2 pregnancy’s the size didn’t change at all, I’m now pregnant with no 3, 10 weeks and they haven’t changed either, It just depends on the woman.

Answer by wag35
It is different for every body type, I have went from a B to a D, same as my last pregnancy 11 years ago. But I have heard some women barely have any changes at all and other jump a size or two or even three, although going up three sizes is rare. It will all be determined by genetics. Look to your mother or grandmother, or other close female family relative.

i have large breasts too. so far they have gone up one size and i am 28 weeks pregnant. they will probably get bigger when i am breast feeding. if anyone knows where to find large nursing bras let me know

well, I was also a natural 34 DD before pregnancy, and now at 39.5 weeks I am in a 38 DDD. And I’ve heard they will get bigger when my milk comes in :(. Make sure you have a supportive bra and get fit for a bra frequently throughout your pregnancy to always make sure you are wearing the right size. If the band size feels tight, but the cups are still working for you, most maternity shops have bra extenders to give you a bit more room, and they are 5$ vs. buying bras you may only be wearing for a short amount of time. I was able to wear underwire comfortably until about 3 weeks ago. There is nothing damaging about an underwire bra, as long as it is fitted properly. That is why Its important to go get fit! The BEST bras I found were actually at Lane Bryant stores. They might have to order in the smaller band sizes, but I was pretty lucky and found mine in stock with some searching. Good Luck with the pregnacy!

Answer by MissyGrrL
It depends. Because they’re already big, maybe they’ll just get droopy. So get a good bra – no underwires.

With both of my pregnancies I gained a cup and another cup during breastfeeding making me a DD. Now I’m back to a C.

Answer by Mel
Well, I have been pregnant 3 times, and breastfeeding 3 times and all the time my breast have grown 2 sizes over my original size, and after finishing breastfeeding it goes back one size. Though my body weight always goes back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Answer by natasha p
It depend on your own body. I went from an 34B to a 36c

Answer by semj
my breasts grew in my last pregnancy, up by two cup sizes, and never went back, even after i lost 15 kg. Now im pregnant again, and they’ve gone up over another cup size.
It does depend on the individual, and your genetics, but they tend to grow more once your milk comes in (or maybe it just feels like it when they’re engorged)

Answer by blueeyedbaby41
it depends on your body. i went from a 36 dd to a 44dd and now i’m stuck at a 38 dd .

Answer by lashenica j
Everyone is different but I had four babies and my breast didn’t change much other than the normal swelling but the last baby changed that. I was a 38C natural but after the baby they are now a 42dd and my husband loves it. They can change alot.

Answer by petloveragain
it all depends on the person. i had small boobs before, during, and after two pregnancies. i know it sucks to be me.

Answer by poisongirl6485
Depends on the person. Yours can grow a lot, or not much at all. Mine grew a good amount, but they grow even more after you have the baby and your milk comes in. Obviously if you’re going to nurse the baby, they’ll stay pretty big. But once you dry up if you’re not nursing, then they’ll go back down to normal.

Answer by wendy h
it is difficult to say, as some women really get big, and others only put a liittle weight on their breasts. but when your milk comes after you’ve had the baby, be prepared at how big they really get.

Answer by A B
I think just reading these answers that everyone is different. For me, that’s all anyone can say about me… “oh my, your boobs are HUGE.” I wish I could say it was a compliment to me. I was a 36DD at start. I’ve 19 weeks and it’s hurts they have gotten so big. And I haven’t even started breast feeding yet. Good luck… they might go down afterward. Might.
