Boobs!

[eager_reader]

Hi all,

I'm curious to know whether it's just me...I am now at 35+6 and my boobs have not grown AT ALL.

The 12 year old me who always hoped that my boobs would develop is a little sad, haha. This probably seems ignorant and/or silly but I'm wondering if my little A cups will produce/accommodate enough milk?!

I don't know of any pregnant women who haven't reported larger boobs?!

They'll most likely still be able to feed baby they probably have grown just not enough to go up a cup size. Big boobs don't automatically mean a good supply and small boobs don't mean a bad one!

Agree with WinterWolf. Size means nothing. My mum is A cup and breastfed both of us. Everyone made out that she wouldn't possibly manage and she was more successful than the majority of her friends who were much bigger.

My boobs are bigger but I've only gone up one cup size and one back size which isn't much compared to others. I'm not busty either.

If it helps on the boob front, I've never known anyone that was pregnant not have sore nipples yet I never have. I think everyone is just different.

I’m the same! A little A cup! Only 17 weeks but no change yet... sad! Haha. So apparently all boobs have the same number of glands therefore can produce the same amount of milk. The rest of a larger cup boob is just fat which may be used as an energy store but likewise thighs and bum fat can also be used as an energy store. So no need to worry! and fingers crossed the breastfeeding makes my bum decrease in size lol!

Thank you all so much, this is very reassuring!

I wish mine hadn't grown, I'm only 8+2 and mine have gone up a cup size and ive had to buy new bras which hasn't been cheap!

Ive had a lot of friends whose boobs didn't change at all in pregnancy and they were still able to breast feed so it shouldn't be anything to worry about

Mine have gone up enough that I had to buy new bras but they seemed to do a small gradual increase in tri 1 like just a cup size and then a bigger spurt around 24 weeks and I wouldn't say they've grown since. I had to ditch anything that was underwired by 28 weeks due to bump but I took a long time to show so for most people it would be a lot sooner than that.

As my boobs didn't explode overnight, I was able to pick up bras in the sale so didn't end up spending too much.

My boobs were already an F before pregnancy so it’s not easy finding bras that fit anyway, hoping that my boobs will grow a bit more gradually from now if at all
