If you're pregnant... Does your breast get bigger?

Question

Well, I'm pregnant. I'm 12 weeks far and I would like to know why my breast hasn't gotten bigger. I'm very happy because I'm not feeling sick or anything. But is this normal?

Answer 1

Congradulations!!!! Yes you are lucky for not having morning sickness or nausua during your first trimester.. Anyhow YES your boobs are going to get enormous!!! soon you will be a walking belly with huge boobs to match LOL.. No worries you are still in the early part so your boobs wont get huge until you are 4-6 months long, but trust me, they will get HUGE. Good luck and congradulations!!!!! Just remember to take good care of yourself, and get lots of rest.....

Answer 2

Yes they can but it doesn't usually happen toward the last few months of the pregnancy. A woman's breasts start getting tender because your hormones start setting everything in motion. Your ducts start to fill and so forth.... to prepare for the baby. I can't really explain all the details but if I were you I would ask about a really good book about nursing and taking care of a new baby at the library or your doctor. There is so much wonderful information that you can't just get from friends and that doctor's don't tell unless asked, so if you don't know to ask you generally don't get told. I thought I knew all about it because I have one already and then by time I had my second son 4 years later I was amazed at how much I took for granted and didn't know. One thing was that baby's internal thermostat doesn't work like ours at first and they have a hard time keeping their body temperature regulated. That is why you should keep the baby warm at all time, not ridiculously covered, but always with a light blanket unless it is super hot out and then you just may need the blanket for shade. I didn't even think about it because my first was born in the winter so I always had him covered. My second was born in late summer and even though the weather is nice to you, it is chilly to the baby, My advice... find a good book.

Not everyone has changes in their breast while pregnant. I, on the other hand, did dramatically change with my first pregnancy. I'll tell you what happened to me....at the beginning of my first pregnancy I was a 34A and by the end of it I was a 34 D. Then after a while I lost it all back down to 34A. When my son was 2 I decided to get breast implants and went to a 34D. I'm now pregnant with my second child and was a 34D and I'm only 4 months pregnant and now I'm a 34DD. I can't imagine what I'll be by the time the baby gets here in September.

Answer 4

As the mother of three I can tell you each pregnancy is different. With my 1st child I did not get sick, my breasts did not get any bigger and most people did not know that I was pregnant until about the 8th month. My last baby however, I was sick almost from the moment of conception, stayed ill for the 1st four months and my breasts grew from 34C to a whopping 38DD.

Answer 5

Yes it is safe to take prenatal vitamins. In fact, doctors recommend it if you are planning to get pregnant in the future year. It didn't make my breats any bigger but I gained some weight and they got bigger. I put on 30 lbs and filled out. I don't think it's proven to increase breast size but you can go to web-MD and it should say.

Answer 6

You are normal. While most women do experience larger breasts during pregnancy, I was not as fortunate. I kept waiting and waiting for them to grow. I think it was during my last month I finally asked my OB why mine hadn't grown. Of course I told him it was because I was concerned about nursing (which was partially true). He told me that breasts come in 2 sizes, too big and too small. (Gotta love a Dr. with a sense of humor.) The only thing I noticed was that my breasts got a little fuller, but not bigger. I am 18.5 weeks pregnant again and not experiencing larger breasts with this one either.

Answer 7

I am 34 weeks and my breasts are not really any bigger. I have implants so I do not know if that affects growth during pregnancy. I was not sick at all with this baby either.
I am glad my breasts did not get bigger...they are big enough..lol

Answer 8

That is very normal, some women experience their breast getting bigger right away when they are pregnant and some don't get bigger until later on in the pregnancy (towards the end) and some don't even get bigger at all during pregnancy. So don't worrie and congrats! :)

Answer 9

I work with a woman who is currently pregnant, and she's friends with my wife and me. I know (because they talk about it) that she's at about 20 weeks right now.

I have known the woman for a couple of years now, and I know she has always been very slender and flat-chested. But now, her breasts have grown to the point where they're...uh...hard to ignore. She still wears the same clothes/outfits as ever, but now the clothes are (shall we say) straining under the pressure.

So I think it's inevitable for you; it's just that womens' bodies react to pregnancy in different ways.

Answer 10

Yes Bonita they will get bigger. They will get even bigger once you have your little bundle and your breast milk comes in. Ouch! Good luck to you and don't worry it's normal. If you're not feeling sick, that's great! Every pregnancy is different, enjoy being pregnant it's fun!

What's with all the thumbs down? My answer is good. boo on you thumbs down givers!

Answer 11

Not everyone has the same experiences during pregnancy. My breasts did not get bigger until I gave birth and the milk came in, but I have seen others' who did start growing at the start of their pregnancy.
