I have always been thin (5’5"/110lbs) and have always had small boobs (flat until 16ish, small boobs thru college, huge when pregnant/nursing, back to small b after kids). But I am now in my late 40s and my boobs have gone up to a C. My weight and body mass are still the same. So why are my boobs getting bigger? They always swell up during my period, but for the past 6 months or so have been getting gradually bigger. Periods are still normal and no signs of menopause. Any idea what’s up?
