    Alright ladies, this might be TMI for some of you but....

    How big do your boobs really get once you're preggers?! Husband and I are still a little while away from TTC but I am a VERY full DD cup and sometimes worry about the consequences of pregnancy on my fun bags!

    Anyone want to share?

    LOL "consequences of pregnancy on my fun bags!"  HILARIOUS!  Ok so its totally different for every person.  Mine went up a cup size in the first trimester (Im a small c-cup to start) but went back to regular size during the second trimester.  I also know some bees on here whose have gotten huge.  It really affects everyone differently, sorry I couldnt help more!

    I went from a 34A to a 36C within about 12 weeks; I was wearing a 36D when I had the baby, but I lost all the baby weight + 25 pounds, so I'm back to an A cup now. My advice is buy cheap bras as you grow since you'll only wear them a few weeks!

    I'm a C cup, and they pretty much stayed a C cup, except they were just fuller, and more swollen. Buuuut, if and when you breastfeed, WHOA! They got even bigger. I didn't think it was possible for them to swell up that much, lol! They were a full D cup in the midst of my nursing.

    @Wonderwoman217:

    It was the tightest, most miserable feeling in the world when the milk came in!

    @Wonderwoman217: Is it better if you don't breastfeed? Mine are pretty massive too and I'm going to have to have a stroller for them and a baby too if they grow too much!

    I was a small C cup pre preggo. Went up to a D by 9 months preggo then a DD while nursing. After nursing they have shrunk down to barely a B possibly a saggy wrinkled A cup. Very sad! I miss my perky perfect boobs!

    @jo.lee:

    The milk will come in and hurt for about a week if you don't breastfeed; after a week or so, your body will realize you are not using it and will stop producing it and your boobs will deswell. But for the first week, if I even rolled over wrong, they would feel like they were on fire! And seriously, rock hard is the most apt description.

    @jo.lee: Bahahaha! It's entirely up to you. I didn't with my oldest son, but I did with my youngest. Just be sure to find lots of nursing bras that you like and are comfy, if you do decide to.

    I'm a pretty small a to start out with and at 9 weeks I'm still in the same bra.  They seem fuller though.  I'm pretty sure I wore the same size bra when I was pg with my son too.

    Wow, rock hard huh?!  I've even heard women say they leaked in the shower or when nursing on one side, or even when they heard babies cry!!!

    I definitely want to try and be a breast feeding mama.  God graced me with these bad boys, might as well set up shop for my future children!

    God, I can't imagine how big mine are going to get.  My husband should be thrilled!!

    @nskillet:

    YESSSSS they leak like crazy at first; you have to stick these special absorbing pads in your bra to soak up the milk, and when you sit in the bathtub or get in warm water... it's just so frustrating!

    Um yea. I was a 32 DD/ DDD before, and I'm easily three full cup sizes bigger now. So 34 F+ at this point. Hell, i can't even tell because the bras I bought out of desperation are sports bra-ish and just squish them together. I need to buy at least a couple of well fitting bras this weekend, and I'm going to order 34F/G. Argh!!

    @KellyV  Thanks!! I try to bring a little funny to these types of things!  Your info is perfect.  I've always been so curious!

    Is it true your boobs itch like crazy too and your nipples like morph into super nipples?

    I'm barely a B to begin with, and I went up to a big D (almost DD) after I had Addie.  It was the most surprising thing for me, post-partum!  I had no idea they'd get that big or that hard.  As soon as my milk dried up, though, I was back down to my barely a B cup.  :(  I would've been fine if they had stayed just a little bigger than my usual...

    I started out at a 32I and stayed that way throughout my pregnancy.  Postpartum however, I am up to a J/K cup.

    I was a B before and I'm now up to a DD. I don't know where these boobies came from but they're certainly not mine.

    I was a C pre-pregnancy, now at 17 weeks I am a full D.  I expect to be a DD by the end (if I follow the same pattern as last pregnancy).

    I think I was a 36DD when I got pregnant & my bras near the end were I think 36F & 38DD but it was too small...sadly, I can't really remember.  When my milk came in, I was HUGE...I don't even know what letter bra it would've been but >I, bc when my supply settled down some about 12 weeks I got 2 bras, one 36h/i and one 36f/g (a little tighter, but I continue to "calm down"...I'm guessing I was at least 2 sizes bigger than that for awhile!

    i'm a 34a/32b. I did not grow AT ALL during pregnancy. During nursing, I did but that obviously went away pretty quickly.

    I am so scared for pregnancy/breastfeeding boob growth. I am a full 36F to begin with ... any bigger and I will topple over I think.

    ok so just a heads up my girl is 13 months now so its been a while but this is one thing i will never forget. I was in a very perky nice c cup when i got pregnant and then 9 month later... BAM there are D's kinda borderline DD's and btw its actually worse after the delivery! when I got home I was like a full cup bigger than before I haad her... so yea... oh and then when all that wonderful milk is gone... those "fun bags" will not be looking so fun... talk about sagging sadness... and right back to the now unperky C

    Well, I'm 10weeks (11 weeks?) tomorrow and my boobs won't fit in my normal bras anymore! I've been wearing sports bras because I don't want to spend good money on a bra I'm just going to grow out of. I was a 34 D before, I can't IMAGINE what I'm going to be later down the road. And yes, they hurt like HELL. And I now have morph nipples as I think you called them. They aren't so much morphed as I have really fair skin so now, EVERY SINGLE VEIN is visible and my areolas got much darker.

    @Ms Mini: I'm also a 36F and I'm afraid of what my boobs will do during pregnancy.  My mom started out smaller than I am now and her's got crazy big and never shrunk back down (I think she was untimately an I before all was said and done).  She had to get a reduction as her post-babies boobs were giving her back problems.

    I'm at 17 weeks and grew from a 32A to a 34B. I'm really hoping to clock in a C before I'm done with all this. Anybody have input as to what they're boobs ended back up as? I really like my little ones, but I'd also be thrilled to stay a full B cup...

    @Mrs.KMM: That is not good news. I consider my F to be manigable, but any bigger than that will be tough to take.

    Here is my question for those of you who were A or small B cups.  What happened after your boobs grew so much and then shrank?  The way I am imagining it, it involves stretch marks and no perkiness left :(  Am I crazy for being worried about this?

    @JurisPrudence:  I never got stretch marks, but the perkiness is definitely different.  Having you ever seen the the movie, The Sweetest Thing?  I was remembering that scene where Cameron Diaz lifts up her arms and says "20" and then puts her arms down and says "30."  Lol!  It's kinda like that  :).  My boobs are back down to their pre-pregnancy size, but they're softer and not as full, if that makes sense.

    I went from barely a C cup to a solid D cup.  And they're a lot firmer and perkier too.  DH loves them.  Me?  Not so much!
