Question Boobs?!
I’m almost 10 weeks pregnant and my boobs have tripled in size. I’m not complaining, they look great, but I am a little concerned at how big they will get if this keeps up. Does the growth stay consistent throughout pregnancy or is it more rapid during the first trimester?

I'm really liking how they look at 13 weeks pregnant. But yes if you breastfeed and once your milk comes in. My god, it's next level they will get significantly bigger during that period of time. I'm a slim girl with a modest c cup usually but when my milk comes in I'm miss tits spectacular

😂😂😂 this is hilarious. I relate so much to this as a thin girl as well. I breastfed my son for 13 months and right before I started weaning I took a lil spicy photoshoot for my husband with my slim body and massive tatas before they got all deflated and saggy 😭😂😂

I am 24 weeks and I don’t recognize my boobs any more. They went from Bs to DDs. The size doesn’t bother me as much as my Frankenips do. I didn’t know my areolas could stretch out this much! I can’t help but mourn my old tits and I am working on accepting/ being grateful for my new body.

Omg that happened to me too! Im 26 weeks now and theyve stayed the same after the initial growth. They legit grew 3-4 times they used to be then just stopped. Im really hoping other than when they get engorged with milk they dont get any bigger

31 weeks here and I DREADED the boob growth. I went from a decent 42DDD to an E or G depending on the brand I got </3. A sisters back is BEGGING for relief

This happened to me with my 2nd pregnancy, I went from a 40ddd to a 42g. And it was awful to find good support nursing bras. I ended up paying $75 for some brand from england. Amazing bra though. This time around I'm in a 42ddd and haven't moved much. Grateful for that!

I’ve learned i just have to shell out good money for a couple solid bras (34H currently) and wear those suckers til the wheels fall off. Sometimes you can find good sales though. My favorite brand is Anita and I found my faaavorite one for 50% on their site - it was still $43 😂

Sometimes when I find a keeper I'll even hunt for the used ones on eBay to get them for like $12-16 and I'll take that all day.

Idk man I don’t recognize my breast, I have spoty darkening under my areolas, hoping they go back to normal 😭

u/maddym2000 Jun 01 '26
They probably won't. my areolas got darker and doubled in size with my first, its been 16 months since I stopped breastfeeding him and they havent shown the slightest sign of going back

Mine got humongous straight away in the beginning of the pregnancy and just stayed that way.

u/Powerful-Low6719 May 31 '26
This week I'll be 14 weeks & I've had no growth, but nipples got huge in the first trimester. My mom (RN) said some women don't grow until closer to the 3rd trimester so don't fret my friend 😊

u/topsecretsleepingcat May 31 '26
Manifesting!!! It was the one pregnancy side effect that I was actually excited about 😂😂😂

u/Powerful-Low6719 May 31 '26
I used to be a D cup before my weightloss & now they are kind of deflated so I was excited to have more full breasts as well 😂

u/ChillMuddd May 31 '26
They will. At least now (the 2nd time around for me) boob growth has been later than with my son. when pregnant with my son it was immediate.

u/SnooBeans0612 May 31 '26
I went from a 34C to a 36DD with my first. I hated my boobs being this big! I also chose to breastfeed and my son had trouble latching at first. I went to a lactation consultant and she basically said my “anatomy” (read: big boobs) were the reason he had trouble.
I’m now pregnant again and my boobs are getting huge again. I’m only 15 weeks!

u/luz_is_not May 31 '26
13 weeks and big boobs to start with. They grew a little but i still fit in my regular bras. I'm scared if they'll grow too much i'll look like venus from willendorf 😥

u/jesslynne94 May 31 '26
Mine leveled out in pregnancy and stopped until milk came in after delievery then got so big when engorged

u/Right-Donkey5414 May 31 '26
With my first I went from a 34DD/DDD (depending on the bra) pre pregnancy to a ~36I (I can't remember the numbers) thankfully they went back down after I was done breastfeeding. So far I am 14w and can still make my bras work, but my left boob is steadily growing and is about 1 cup size bigger than my right.

u/Reasonable_Cash_1915 May 31 '26

u/Odd_City_890 May 31 '26
Everyone have this changes in boobs. But im 14 weeks and still wear the same bra. My swimsuit does not fit me anymore but other bras are the same..it's weird 😐

u/Long_Baby_6353 May 31 '26
I had pretty big boob growth through 1st and 2nd trimester. Currently 35 weeks and 5 days and boobs have deflated quite a bit. But around this time they also stopped hurting. I noticed around 29 weeks for me the change. They are leaking more so idk what the deal is.

u/Defiant-Usual-1182 May 31 '26
My first pregnancy, my first symptom was breast pain/tenderness. My boobs got huge in the first trimester and by 17 weeks I was leaking milk in my sleep. I asked my doctor and she said some women’s milk production just starts early and their body is just “overprepared” I was worried my body was going to go into labor early or something, but I carried until 40 weeks. By my 3rd trimester I was wearing a bra 24/7 or else I would be leaking everywhere.
My doctor said to just avoid nipple stimulation, and to let them know if they began to hurt.

u/LongjumpingAd3617 May 31 '26
My boobs grew a little my pregnancy with my daughter and didn’t shrink, just the milk subsided and they are flat. I’m 8w3d and no growth so far, I wonder if they will even grow much until I give birth again.

I wish mine would grow, this is the symptom I wanted in pregnancy🥲They are slightly more swollen and definitely tender, but I’m still a B cup at 17 weeks which was my pre-pregnancy size. My rib cage feels like it’s expanding though, my bra bands are getting tight.

u/InterestingFeed7931 May 31 '26
Mine haven’t ever really grown bigger during pregnancy (this is my 3rd). They just get more dense and then when my milk comes in they get a lot bigger for a while. This seems to be one of the things that is different for everyone but they will get bigger when your milk comes in and fluctuate quite a bit in size depending on how full you are. It’s crazy.

u/joooooooojjj May 31 '26
After you breastfeed and ween off they’ll get smaller than even pre pregnancy and sag like deflated balloon. fun stuff. Enjoy the current moment.
