I started as a 38DDD. As of today (24w2d) I'm a 38 I. So...yeah. The lady at the bra shop says she wouldn't be surprised if I get up to an L or M.

Wow.. Im usually a 32 h but since weight gain and pregnancy i feel my boobs have grown a little.. Yours did alot lol... Hoping not to get too much bigger... Bras are pricey when your big busted

Tell me about it...just spent $69 today on ONE bra. Haven't told DH about it yet lol!

My band size is the same though. I measure at 36 so they fitted me in a 38 at the smallest hook.

Honestly, it's different for everyone. Textbook and standards it's about 1 to 2 cup sizes, but you can never truly tell what you are going to get in my first pregnancy, my breasts never increased in size at all, and about 4 months after she was born and my breast milk had regulated itself, I was already back into my pre pregnancy bras. Seriously, the only time my boobs got bigger was when I was engorged, and then I looked like a porn star with big fake, rock hard boobs.

I'm 8+ weeks now into my 2nd pregnancy, and still wearing the same bras, no change at all...

It's really difficult to predict so I wouldn't buy any new bras until they grow. I started as a 30F and I'm now a 32GG but that was all within the first 12 weeks and they have stayed the same since then.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum on breast size, I was a 32 AA (chest was actually 28" but they don't make Bras that small). I am now a 34 B. I had to get a few different Bras through my pregnancy, but most of the growing happened during first Tri. I am still waiting to get a nursing bra though as I am growing again. Good luck.

Mine don't grow in pregnancy. I'm 38 D, they'll grow a little when I nurse, but shouldn't be too much.

I think your best bet is to get fitted. I was one of the people whose cup size increased drastically.

Thanks ladies..ordered a few in my size and a few one cup size bigger.. Hopefully they fit and yes everyone is different so if i keep gaining ill keep buying lol

I went from 36D to 40DD so far. *sad face*

 

[misspriss]

I went from a 32DDD to a 34H so far (although I got a 36G so I'd have some growing room)....who knows if they will get bigger?

 

[ttc1soon]

I started out with a very full 34DD and to me they don't look any bigger but they are because I sure don't fit in my old bras. I am now squeezing myself into 36E and they are uncomfortable. Now I feel like I'll need a 38F but that is only while my belly is big. I have a very short torso so my bra band sits partly on my bump and so as my bump gets bigger my band size needs to go up but once the babies are born I won't need the large band. I would be afraid to order online because each bra seems to fit so differently.

I went up 3 cup sizes before I had even hit the 2nd tri. I swear they started growing the second i fell pregnant growth seems to have tapered off now but my boobs were looking a bit tortured coming out of a proper bra so the last few weeks ive been wearing sports bras. I have a couple cheapy nursing bras from walmart waiting in the wings. Im sure they'll fit as they have stretchy cups to allow for the milk coming in. if not, I only spent $30 for the two so no biggy if I have to buy more.

I was 34b and now 34d are too tight!! I also heard they get bigger again when the milk comes in after birth!!!!!!

I'm from Australia so our bra sizes are bit different to yours , I stared a 10 c and I'm 18 weeks pregnant and now a 12 f

Mine have shrunk, at 33 weeks I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy bras. I've gone down an inch on the chest band measurement and the cups gape.

I've taken to wearing a stretchy wide belt under them when wearing sweater dresses so that boobs and bump don't blend into one!

I'm 6 months and I've gone up to a 34D from a 34B. Not sure how much bigger the ladies will go from here! I guess we'll see.

That's what I was told.. and I'm almost nervous I won't be able to stand up straight if they do! I'm not used to them being so big.
