how much bigger can they get????
I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have gone from a 34B to a 40DD... I'm getting a
little frantic! It's getting more difficult to find bras. My milk hasn't even come in yet! Seriously, can I expect them to get even bigger after baby is born? With my first child, I didn't get anywhere near this big. I'm getting new stretch marks and it's starting to bug me. Betsy |

Betsy Most people go back down once engorgement is past, although you might remain a size or two bigger. Not me, however - I'm up 3 cup sizes from my non-pregnant, non-bfing self, with a 6mo baby. Last time, it took near-weaning to get me back down to my regular size. Have you really gone up from a 34 to a 40 in your bandsize, or are you just getting the 40DD because DD is the largest cup size available where you're shopping? Cup sizes go through the roof, but I'd be surprised if your ribcage has increased 6 inches in diameter (1 or 2 is more usual, IIRC). Not to scare you, but you could be more like a 36E or even F. I only mention it b/c this is what happened to me, and then I got measured and realized that I'd been getting too big a band size and too small a cup size. Good luck (eventually, they will go down again!), Melania |

Well, not necessarily - I was a 38D pre-preg, got up to a 40DD during preg, and now while nursing, I'm a 38DDD. DD is almost 4 months, too - I had hoped they'd go back down a bit so I could wear my old nursing bras from DS - they are a 38DD. Oh, well. I will eventually get my body back . . . :-) |

Not actually trying to be rude...

You only own your spirit. (Some would even say you don't even own that, but you know what I mean.) 2. Ageing is inescapable change. You can never to back to being what you were before. Children or no children. Now, when some women say that, what they mean is that they don't have to share it so completely with a chld. That much I will agree with. :-) Larry |
