    Hahaha men. I don't know about growing boobs, but make sure to put lots of lotion to avoid stretch marks.

    They'll get bigger. I'm 6 months along and this is the biggest they have EVER been in my LIFE. And I was always a very busty girl.

I am only 5ft tall and weigh 110pounds I am going to topple over if they get any bigger and I am ony at 2 months lol.

    I'm wearing two bras right now, just to have some semblance of structure. It's not working that wel. I may have to had a sports bra, if I can fit one.

    This might be a really stupid question but where do you ladies buy your bigger bras? I've moved up a size but am starting to bust out of my DDs. Are you buying maternity/nursing bras or sticking to normal ones?

    @Cole B: Having always had a large breast (DD) and now at 10wks a F.  The best place to find bras is Cacique. It's the lingerie part of lane bryant. However the smallest back measurement is 36, so I'm not sure if it will work for everyone.

    I've only moved up a cup size so far (C to D) at 13 weeks. So I can still fit in "regular" bras and went to the department store to get one in nude and one in black. I figured that if they're supposed to get even bigger, I shouldn't waste my money on getting bras in cute colors. 2 will do until things settle down.

    But it feels like I have bowling balls on my chest. So. Freakin. Heavy.

    I went out a bought 2 two new bras yesterday. so far at 18 weeks I've gone up from barely filling a 34A to a 36B..  I'm actually enjoying the increase in size so far and so is my husband...

    I'm 21 weeks and have jumped drastically. I went from 34C to 34DD in the first couple weeks. Now the DD are too small. I'm probably at about a 34DDD/E to 36DD range now. They are still going too. So yeah, up ~3 cup sizes so far with no end in sight yet. My mom told me she got ridiculously massive with each pregnancy too.

    DH is loving it. Me, not so much.

    @Cole B: and @simpleandchic: I have naturally large boobs (I'm scared what future pregnancies will turn them into) and I normally wear a 36F.  I buy all of my bras at Nordstrom's.  I have also bought a couple of things from Bravissimo.com which is a UK company that specializes in larger sizes.

    Sorry for the dumb question, but they shrink back after breastfeeding is over, right?

    @Evie19: Sometimes. My mother said she never went all the back to her pre-preg cup size. She gained a bit of boob with each kid.

    I honestly don't care what size they end up being. DH already promised me new ones after we're done with kids. lol

    @secondchances: @JewishBride: The soreness gets better! Mine were unbearable for a few weeks but that went away at like... 12-13 weeks, I think. They get a little tender still, but not the "OMG, I'm going to cry if you touch them" pain.

    @Evie19: Yeah. DH and I had already planned on new boobies for mommy before I even got pregnant.

    @Evie19: I have no idea, honestly. I know it can leave some horrible scarring though. I'm sure if you hit up the google machine, you can find tons of stories and pictures of breast reduction surgeries. I just want them fixed and lifted after, no reduction. No saggy boobs for me.

    Wait, wait.  The size thing doesn't go completely away once you have the baby?  I was a D before, are you telling me that party's over?  Because I hated them then...

    With my first, my boobs were a 34 B and I went up to a D after my milk came in, and then back down to barely a B cup when I stopped nursing.  With this pregnancy, I'm already wearing my 38 D bras, and I'm only 20 weeks.  :/  I think they're going to be like a DD/E when my milk comes in this time!  Eeeek!

    I just buy bras at the department store.  There's a woman to fit you, and the bras are relatively inexpensive and sturdy enough to hold it all up.

    see, mine got bigger for the first 10 weeks then went back to normal.  They stayed exactly their old size until I started BFing.  Now the bubbies are outta control lol.  For me.  I was always a 36C, MAYBE occasionally a 36C.  Now Im a 38C to a 36D.  I cant wait till they go away

    @Evie19: My mom had to have breast reduction surgery after having kids because her boobs didn't go back to their old size (she started as a C and three kids later was an H/I).  I'm worried I'll be the same way (except I'll be starting at a 36F)!

    From what I recall from her telling me about her surgery / recovery, it was quite painful and a decently long recovery.  Much more so than a breast augmentation.  But so worth it IMO to not have boobs that cause daily back pain.

    I've gone from a 32B (small B) to a 34C - 12.5 weeks along.  I am enjoying the size difference but not the soreness.  They still.hurt.so.bad.  I'd be happy with being a 32 or 34C forever : )  I have no illusions that they will stick around post breastfeeding though.

    I love the talk about surgery - DH says he likes the bigger boobs and I should keep them. I told him I'll get bigger boobs if he throws in a tummy tuck when we're done making giant babies!

    @Goldilocks1107: Even when I get a reduction, I'll probably only go down to a full C to a small D (so still what many/most would consider "bigger boobs").  I've ALWAYS had a larger chest and I can't even imagine myself going any smaller than that.  I don't think I'd feel like me!

    @Evie19: @Mrs.KMM: A friend of mine recently had breast reduction surgery, big-time. She was really sore for the first week and couldn't move her arms much, but the week after was better pain-wise although she still couldn't raise her arms higher than boob height. Now she's fully recovered and the scars are healing nicely. So it's not always complete hell, and she is SO happy with how they turned out.

    Hers are actually perkier than mine now. So not fair, lol.

    Wait till your milk comes in ;) Just kidding...sort of! I went from a large C to a E but now that I've been nursing for 6 months + I am more of a DD or even a D in some bras. As far as comfort, try a comfortable sleeping bra that you can later use for nursing and a larger support bra for day wear.I really like this one for nighttime.
