I have had four kids and every pregnancy my chest will grow very little just to give little milk for each baby. My chest (during pregnancy) could not even occupy a size 32-34 bra. Now that Im not pregnant, they're very flat again. Please help and advise. Thank you.

Sometimes a woman's breasts don't develop much during puberty and she remains "flat-chested." Unfortunately experts like doctors and lactation consultants don't really know WHY this takes place.
Breasts develope during teenage years and depends on hormones - estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone - maybe hormonal imbalance(s) could be part of the reason or maybe something went differently during the gestational period.
During pregnancy the breasts do usually develop more and grow in size.
A reason why some teenage girls & women are flat chested is if they're dieting a lot or even anorexic. Women who are underweight usually have very small breasts. A fatless skinny body means no fat in the breasts either.
Teenage girls should eat healthy so as to give your body the best chance to have everything working properly.
If you got your period fairly late... or especially if the period has not yet started at 16, there is a possibility of some hormonal disorder or delayed puberty for some reason. It is advisable to see a doctor.
Breast development occurs in two different stages of life - Puberty & Pregnancy.
The beginnning of breast development is one of the earliest signs of puberty in girls, the appearance of pubic hair being the other. In other words, pubic hair and breast buds appear close together timewise.
Breast development normally begins about 1 year before the mestrual period begins. The development takes several years.
In the first stage (during childhood) the breasts are flat.
Next comes the breast bud stage. In it, the nipple and breast are slightly raised as milk ducts and the fat tissue begin to form. Also, the areola begins to enlarge. Then the breast starts to get bigger and the areola begins to darken.
In the initial stages of breast development, it is the hormone estrogen that drives the development, causing fat to be deposited in the breast, and the milk ducts to grow. This is the time for the biggest growth in size.
After the girl gets her period, the ovaries start producing progesterone, and that changes things. Progesterone causes the milk glands to develop at the ends of the milk ducts. This development causes less visible growth sizewise, but is very important for breast feeding later in life.
The whole process of breast development usually takes about 3-5 years, but for some girls it may take close to 10 years. Many girls can get a little rounder and fuller breasts in their early twenties, when they naturally get more feminine and a mature appearance with 'feminine curves' (meaning girls gain a little weight leaving the skinny teenage look behind).
Breast size is determined by your genes. You can look to your mom and other female relatives and get somewhat of an idea of what your breast size might end up being, though this is NOT a guarantee.
Another factor in breast size is how skinny/fat you are breasts have a lot of fat in them. The skinnier you are, the less fat your breasts contain and smaller they are. When you gain weight (or fat) some of that fat will get deposited in your breasts, and if you lose weight (fat) from your body, some of that fat will be lost from your breasts, too. This is why athletic girls often have small breasts - their body's fat content is fairly small. The same for anorexic girls.
Exercise won't make breasts bigger because breasts don't have any muscles. Nor will sleeping position, wearing bras or not wearing them, milk or any other foods - but eating a healthy diet so your body can develop as it is supposed to helps.
There are no real ways of increasing your breast size other than breast implants. But those carry very serious health risks.
About anorexic girls and breasts: (because I feel it is a big problem with young girls)
Anorexia, bulimia, or severe dieting will cause the fat to disappear from breasts, and that is why breasts of an anorexic girl will look very small, or shrunken.
When a girl is recovering and gaining weight again, fat gets deposited back to the breasts. However, it won't always be the same amount of fat as was there before.
The milk ducts and glands shouldn't be affected - if they had already developed! But if anorexia hits while the breasts are growing ducts and glands, then that development will stop since the starved body will stop producing hormones that drive that growth.
With anorexia, it is hard to say how things will go afterwards. Most girls become fertile again and resume menstruation, or continue their pubertal development if it wasn't finished, but some girls never gain their menstruation and fertility back even after recovery.

32-34 is the circumference of your rib cage or bust, it has nothing to do with breast size.
I would love to be in your shoes! My back aches with what child bearing has done to increase my breasts. I look forward to a reduction in my 40's.
Some people may give you home remedies and even suggest plastic surgery, however, my I suggest that you get a nice set of falsies for that day when you are feeling like your self esteem is low. I honestly rather encourage you to accept your body the way it is, unless it is causing you debilitating pain.

There are bra's that have gel and padding. Those who use them are very happy, and they do make a difference. They are a bit pricey but worth the money. Check out this site; it will give you some idea of how they look. But it would be better to find a retail store. You will need to try them on first.

Nope. They will not grow anymore. There's nothing out there to enchance them naturally. Don't try those over the counter pills either.

I would think to bulk up the weight or exercise for muscle game or just get the hormone pill from a respected doctor. In the mean time the notice of a gel bra may help. Breast hurt and sag so if you do not have to go through this Great...Men are not into breast and I thought they were but it is your own self esteem and your one thought of yourself. Do not get the noted B job unsafe unless you are doing it for your self silicone or saline Whatever
