Boobs
Posted: 08-09-05 07:56am

My boobs are sore and definitely getting bigger. I'm usually a c cup but my bras are getting to small now may have to move up to a d. I'm only 7 weeks pregnant and already they are gettin noticably bigger.

I got more questions. After your pregnant do they stay big or do they get smaller again.

Does pregnancy cause your boobs to sag after wards? If so how do you prevent that? I don't want saggy boobs.

Pregnancy symptoms are different from everyone. The first time I was pregnant, my boobs got sore right away and blew up even before I missed my period. When the pregnancy ended at 8 weeks, they got a little smaller but were still bigger than my original size.

Now I am pregnant again and almost 6 weeks along. My boobs are just a tad sore and a little fuller, but thats it.

It is different for everyone and its different from pregnancy to pregnancy. The only thing I have heard about sagging breasts is that breast feeding causes that.

Usually boobs start to get bigger during the second trimester but it really depends on the person. Usually on the first trimester they become sore and they swell a little (at least that's what happened to me). Then again it really depends. Also, after pregnancy you lactate so your boobs are still big. They will go back to their normal size gradually in the latter part. There is a possibility that your breast will sag specially if you have big ones. They advised you to star wearing support bras while pregnant to minimize the sagging afterwards. Also, exercise helps a lot. So if you have spare time (hopefully) a few weeks after you give birth try doing so. I hope this helps.
