Question on breast size?

Question

My husband and I have been pregnant for 3 months now and my breasts haven't really changed at all. I figured that I would start filling up soon but haven't yet... has anyone else had this issue? And if you have did you eventually fill up?

Answer 1

Don't worry your breast will eventually fill up. Is this your first pregnancy? If yes, sometimes some women do not produce any milk at all during their first pregnancy, so I heard, but I'm not 100% sure.

Answer 2

They'll change a lot in the last trimester.

Breast size has nothing to do with your ability to nurse. Breast size is based on fatty tissue. The "plumbing" in the breast is what's really important.

At some point you may notice that you have colostrum. Some people leak while PG and some don't. Either is normal and either mom can successfully nurse her baby.

The milk won't come in until 3-5 days post-partum. Then you'll see some HUGE breast changes. The colostrum will be plenty for those first few days as it's super packed with nutrients and immune factors.

Answer 3

Congrats on the addition to your family As a mother and grandmother, most of the answers here are correct. Although I did have one pregnancy for whatever reason I did not produce any milk (2nd pregnancy) so my breast never grew on that one
My first, I did get bigger around 5 months but not from milk
Once my daughter was born and started to cry my breasts started to grow and leak (could be annoying)
Just concentrate on what the size of your belly is for now, you want to gain consistent weight but do not go crazy. Once the milk comes and your breast swell, you will be slightly uncomfortable.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy baby and an easy delivery

Answer 4

Honey everyone is different some people have a huge change and some people's beasts stay the same size. My breasts didn't get any bigger until I started leaking colostrum. I started at 20 weeks but most people don't until 28 or even until after birth. You cant rely on what happened to other peoples breasts though, everyone's body is different.

Answer 5

With my first pregnancy my breast didn't start getting bigger until i was about 6 mo along. And then they doubled after I had him when my milk came in. Now with my second pregnancy they doubled by the 4 th mo. ( and when I say doubled...I wore the smallest bra made before I got pregnant so they aren't like huge are anything)

Answer 6

I swear mine shrink during pregnancy. The only think that changes with mine are the areola (which gets darker). It stinks. My sister-in-law, who is due in April has HUGE breasts right now and well, here I am 4 days away from my due date and mine are the same if not a little smaller. Everyone is different. You may not get much bigger if at all..who knows.

Answer 7

Usually happens the last 2 month when you start to fill up with milk. If you do not breast feed it will not last long but beware when the milk drys up they will deflate

Answer 8

I was an A cup before pregnancy, and now that I'm 31 weeks, I only JUST went up to a small B cup. Some people don't grow until their milk comes in.

Answer 9

My breasts were much bigger by the end of my pregnancies, but not "full." Some people don't grow much, bust-wise, at all. It doesn't affect your ability to nurse, either way.

And your milk doesn't come in until a few days AFTER your baby is born.

Answer 10

In our pregnancy we learned that size had nothing to do with milk output. My wife had large breasts...before and after...pregenacy. But she didn't produce enough milk...our Dr. said we were starving that boy! While maybe not exactly what you were asking, I pass this along because both of us parents were uninformed enough to think that "size mattered"! Oh and on a side note, a lady who works for me is pretty darn flat chested...and she has plenty of milk for her new born.
