breastfeeding question?

Question

i am now only 3 months pregnant, but i have had hardly any breast pain, ect. They seem to have gotten a little larger, very little. i was just wondering if this little or no change in my breast is going to affect my breastfeeding abilities, or if i should even be having more change than this? just a little worried, is this normal?

and i'm not really worried about the actual size of my breasts, i'm already a full C and wouldn't really like to get any bigger, just everyone keeps telling me that they should be growing.

Answer 1

You have nothing to worry about. I did not start having change in my breast until I was about 5 or 6 months pregnant. My daughter is now 7 weeks and I am beastfeeding her. She is very healthy and I have no problem feeding her. Good luck on breastfeeding.. you will do just fine!! Just do not give up!!

Answer 2

Congratulations! I only had a little breast tenderness towards the end of my pregnancy. I know a woman who's breastsize did not change at all while pregnant and she still managed to breastfeed her baby. Some women change a lot and some don't much at all. I have heard of some women having such small breasts they don't even wear a bra but still breastfeed their babies.

There are groups you can join now while pregnant to learn about breastfeeding and to build a support base around you to help learn the 'art' of breastfeeding. The first 6wks are tough because there are so many adjustments happening both physically, emotionally, and mentally for both you and the baby.

With determination, information and support you should be able to breastfeed successfully.

Answer 3

You will have more changes later on. Don't worry. Your breasts will be growing a little larger when you are around 5-6 months pregnant. I was in a 32B sized bra when I was expecting, now I"m a C cup. And it depends on the brand of the bra. I hope this helps. And this is normal. Your breasts will start to enlarge around the 5-6 month. so no worries.

Answer 4

I did'nt notice any change in breast size while I was pregnant but after I gave birth and the milk started trickling down it really got huge! The breast size does'nt determine your capacity to produce breastmilk. It's your willingness, determination and positive attitude that will make you produce milk. If you are really eager to breastfeed then definitely you will be able to do so. Breastfeeding is not an easy thing at first but if you are really determined it will be a walk in the park. Try to learn as much about it while you're pregnant so you'll be an expert once your baby arrives. Try visiting breastfeeding.com.

Good luck and God bless!

Answer 5

everyone is diffrent Im a almost C and went to a full C whilepregnant and breastfeeding (I wish they would stay like that lol)

I wouldnt be concerned the size of your breast does not affect your ability to breastfeed nor does the fact that they havent grown much. When your milk comes in they will be fuller or later in yoru pregnancy but its not like your goingto go from a C to a FF just they will round off more

Answer 6

Breast size doesn't matter when you talk about breastfeeding. Your body will know what you r baby needs and they will produce enough milk. I know everyone wishes that there breast would just like grow over night and say hello to the world before they enter a door but don't worry your body will do it's work.

Answer 7

Not all women experience breast tenderness during pregnancy, but almost every woman is able to nurse after their baby is born. You don't have a thing to worry about!! I suggest you contact your local La Leche League, which is a breast feeding support group. They can answer any and all questions you have about nursing. You will be amazed at the change in your breasts when your milk comes in, but for now, just enjoy being pregnant and don't worry :-) Congratulations and good luck!!

Answer 8

sounds to me like you are fine i had very little breast before pregnancy,i thought breastfeeding was going to be a no for me ,but the got large throughout the pregnancy and i was able to breastfeed. no matter the size breastfeeding is possible

Answer 9

I noticed all my breast changes in my last trimester, so personally I wouldn't worry about it. Very little can affect your ability to breastfeed

Answer 10

Stop worrying; they'll grow more as your pregnancy progresses. Remember, it's important to minimize stress when breast feeding an infant, start working on stress reduction now. Enjoy!
