HUGE Breasts

Posted by expat2006 (133 days ago)

Will my bust size reduce after delivery? They are disturbingly huge. I don't see others of the same size. I am only half way there. Will it grow more? Aw! it looks disgusting. Any assurances?

You think they are big now, wait until your milk comes in after the baby is born!

The first trimester your breasts are tender and swollen, but more often than not, the second trimester things settle down only to go through it again towards the end of the pregnancy. It's completely normal and you should be grateful that everything is working normally.

After delivery, once your milk comes in they will be large and very tender, and if you are going to breastfeed, it will take a couple of months for them to settle and once your baby is in a feeding routine you will only produce the amount of milk your body needs to sustain your baby. Of course, if you choose not to bf then your breasts will reduce in size and go back to your pre-pregnancy size.

Go with it and don't stress about it, just make sure you wear a comfy bra. It's not disgusting at all, it's a beautiful, natural thing!

If it's any consolation, I'm normally a D cup when not pregnant, but being pregnant and when baby is born, i'm going to in Pamela Anderson's league!! Of course my husband is in 7th heaven!

Hey neenib,
Thanks for that. And to know that they will grow bigger, boy! that will be some thing to digest as well. Good to know though that they will shrink to pre-pregnancy after I stop breast-feeding. It's just that they are growing faster than my tum and I am not too keen for them to grow any bigger. All a part of being pregnant I suppose. How far along are you?

my hubby used to love my pregnancy boobs. they looked HUGE! then the tum started to get bigger... it's all relative. when that tum starts, the boobs look smaller!

I'm 37 weeks and OVER IT!!! Very much looking forward to having my body back to myself. That light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger thank goodness. Much harder second time round chasing after the first but blessedly easier living in HK and having a helper!

Can't wait to see what the new edition looks like! Definately agree with Cara, once the tummy pops, everything will even out. Good Luck!

Ha, Ha.... expat2006.... I am in the same boat as you are. I haven't even reached the half mark and I barely fit my D cups. They are already scary looking, nipples even more so because they have become so much darker and proportion seems off! Knowing my body, I know I will have to work quite hard to get pre-pregnancy anything back.
