    Breast changes

    Hi
    I am now officially 20 weeks pregnant and my breasts have grown from a pre preg size of 12D to 14-16E!! I think by the time I give birth they may very well reach the F range!! Has anyone else's boobs grown astronomically? I haven't really put on ridiculous weight (I'm within the normal range) so what's the deal????? HELP!!! Is this because I'm having a girl? too much estrogen?

    12E to 16I (that is an i) - need say more?
    Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly and doesn't bring too much more bustily grief.

    That is the part of pregnancy I hate. Last time I went from a C to about a Z. It was soo bad that after I gave birth (and the milk came in.............) the midwife actually LAUGHED at the size of them!!!!!! NOT HaPPY JAN. I am quite thin and didn't put on much weight, it pretty much all went to my boobs.
    I am dreading it this time too. During the summer months of pregnancy people just STARE at my chest area! It's really embarrassing!
    So Im sorry Im not helping much, but just know there are some of us out here feeling the same thing. I've had comments from friends about how lucky I am. Seriously!??? I hate it. The only good thing is that they do return to normal!! (if not a little smaller..)

    From a B to a DD!

    Woo Hoo for me! However it was also getting a bit embarassing, I actually had people say OMG, they're huge!

    For those will small boobs its great but for those of us that have bigger ones it sucks.
    I went from a perky '12C' with DD#1 to a '14DD' and back to 10D after she was about a yr old.
    This time i've gone from my 10D to a 12E and i havent even got any milk yet

    I can't say they have grown as much as others, but wouldnt it be nice to have a perky C cup again. Although when i look at my beautiful daughter its definately worth every last mm they've dropped and grown.

    Good luck darl and i hope they dont get too much bigger for ya.

    Charmalea- same here! My DH says i have bush cookie nipples! I swear they poke out at least 1/12 cm (not that i've measured ) and thats not even when i'm cold
    But Alyssas mum is right its definitely worth it

    I feel for you, I was just fitted last week - also at 20 weeks 14 E....from a 12D. The fitter said this one should be good for another month maybe 2 if I'm lucky and then I have to go to a different store as they don;t have any bigger! I'm hoping that by some miracle they will stop growing I don't like my chances though!

    Yup, I went from a 12DD to a 12F. The fitter said if they got any bigger they'd have special order in a G for me since the 14 didn't sit right. I'm afraid that this time I'll have to get a special order because they're getting bigger again

    I went from a 12C to a 16F with my 1st. It was Dolly Parton move over lol.

    If everyone is having trouble finding bigger size bras try Bella Forma website. They go up to JJ cup sizes.
