What is the average size a woman’s breasts increase during pregnancy? My friend is extremely flat-chested, and has been considering a boob job. (she’s a 32A, and the “A” is being generous). Anyway, she’s not looking to be a stripper, she just wants to be proportional. She and her husband are planning on having a child, so she was thinking that she would wait to see how large her breasts get and then sometime after the pregnancy just get the job done. Do small-breasted women see more of a significant increase in their breast size during pregnancy, or is it just random (like everything else?)
Anyone care to share their experiences (their own or significant other)?
I would defnitely wait til after the pregnancy, to consider something drastic (and IMO, silly) like breast augmentation. Although a friend of mine had about a c-d cup before pregnancy, then they got to a full d, and now shes prob. only a b. she swears the breastfeeding made them shrink. But all women are different. For another friend of mine, hers stayed bigger than they were before she got pregnant.
During pregnancy, my wife went from a “C” cup to a “DD” cup. Our son is now nine months old. My wife has lost her pregnancy weight, and has remained a full “D”.
I agree that your friend should wait to get the boob-job. She could end up not “needing” one after her pregnancy, thus saving the money and the surgery.
She doesnt NEED one anyway! For some reason it just really ticks me off to hear of women wanting to get breast implants. I would rather have a woman with nearly non-existant breasts then one with implants (I say this without regard to personality of course, the main thing.) Nobody has to be 100% confident about the way they look, and I dont beleive anyone is! But you shouldnt be ashamed enough to want to spend thousands of dollars and pain thats endured to change yourself.
Thats my $.02. BTW I am about as far away from picture perfect as a body gets, so Im not being one sided here.
I can’t believe i’m going to admit this, but I went from a DD (all natural) to an H. I’m sure if I wasn’t breastfeeding they’d get smaller again. BTW I am seriously looking forward to having a reduction some day.
And her husband isn’t pushing for the boob job. She is just tired (I guess) of not having breasts. But if she can go from being flat-chested to a ‘B’ cup, perhaps she’d feel better about things. especially if the size stayed.
Woo Hoo! My wife is now 2 months pregnant and she says her breats are getting bigger (I haven’t noticed yet). She is a full C cup and I am happy with that (I’m happy with anything). She is more excited about it than I am.
I agree with the previous posts as far as implants. Even sexually speaking, breast implants are a turn off. They look horrible. They look like balloons attached to the body. Give me an A cup over a silicone D anyday of the week!
I had a girlfriend once who was flat as a board-literally. She sent me a photo after she had her baby. She had large breasts. I don’t know if they stayed that way.
I am against implants. It is really men’s problem. No woman should have to do this to be considered attractive.
I would definitely wait (actually, I would definitely not augment anyway, and especially because it can interfere with breast-feeding); I went from a B to a C, and stayed there; I know lots of friends who had a similar experience.
I repeat: she should wait. Like suicide, you can always do it some other time, it’s reversal that’s difficult.
I have to totally disagree. There is a gender among us that is obsessed with breast size. That gender is female. The vast majority of guys could not possibly care less about breast size. I must admit, there is a certain freakshow mentality that evokes curiousity about a woman with driver and passenger side airbag breasts, but this rarely figures in to a man’s choice of a partner.
Does she NEED an augmentation? That’s between her and her plastic surgeon. But in answer to your question, I knew a woman who claims she went from a AA (and that’s being generous) to a “full” (whatever she meant by that) B during pregnancy and nursing in two pregnancies, and then went back to AA each time.
My wife went from a small b to a large c for the birth of our son. now 7 months later she is a large b. go figure. as for the breast implant issue, I think big breast are fun to look at, but when it gets down to one on one, the smaller the better.
I was a D before child and went to an H at my peaks. They have gradually shrunk to a DD, which I think is weird considering I’m not carrying any extra weight. My breast size has always fluctuated with my weight, but I am six pounds lighter than I was when I got pregnant, so they truly did get bigger.
My good friend went from an A to a C, and back down to an A.
My advice is for her to wait. Best case scenario is that they get bigger, stay that way and she’s happy. Maybe she’ll realize that big tits are a pain in the ass and not want them after that.
As for me, after my next kid I’m going to get a reduction and a lift. I’d love to be a perky C-cup.
I want to know: If I want to get a reduction (which I do), would it be better to wait til after I ever have kids, or to just go ahead and do it now (I’ll be 23 in July)? Also, do they (boobs) come back after having kids, if you’ve had a reduction?
After reading this, I’m really scared about ever getting pregnant. I’m already a DD…I don’t want to have to get an H or J cup.
I would LOVE to be an A cup. For real. Hell, I’d settle for a full C. My own size is just plain ridiculous.
An issue you need to consider before getting a “reduction”. If you have breast augmentation, you risk not being able to breastfeed.
In a reduction, the doc is scraping tissue out of there, he will not be able to tell what is what. The mammory ducts (this may not be the correct term) are randomly mixed in and look the same as anything else. In a drastic reduction, DD to B perhaps, he will have to relocate the nipples, which may also render you unable to breastfeed. I’m not sure this is as much of an issue with an enlargement, as the doc just adds the inserts, I don’t think there’s as much damage in this case.

I agree completely! As a woman who was flat as a picket fence until 24, slightly more curvaceous five years later, I can swear that most men are more turned on and more attracted to boobs that are perky than those that are merely large. Smaller ones are firmer and, as my ex said, “have more personality.”
NOTE: One pregnancy didn’t change my size, but made them squishier – less firm, less perky. The perkiness has started to rebound, a year later.
