for pregnancy or non-breastfeeding outings "Zabu" brand from farmers are fantastic, I was a 10D before this pregnancy and always hard to find 10D bras that are a good shape/fit/colour.

went up to 12D / DD when pregnant early on. now at 23weeks just went down got another zabu 12F sigh, too squashed in the 12E, have got 12E/F hotmilk bras for after as that is what I was last babies so here's hoping they will fit again.

by the way
zabu retail at $44.95 but at the moment with the red dot sale I got bra for $14 and they had loads on sale.

I find the new hotmilk lacy styles not supportive enough and prefer the moulded cup from a few years ago styles azure blue or the pinky/brown floral.]]> Sun, 26 Jun 2011 09:29:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1353137&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1353137 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1352994&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1352994 Author: Inkedpixie

I went from a DD to off the charts when my milk first came in, then it settled down to a G! After 2.5 years of breastfeeding, they're still big but I'm also pregnant so I wouldn't have expected them to go down yet. My friends who have experienced big increases have mostly said they shrink back again when you're finished with breastfeeding ... I really hope so!

As for bras, I hate maternity bras - Fayreform, Womama, Hotmilk, Hickory make them in larger sizes but I really prefer breastfeeding singlets. I find the boobs are always escaping every time I bend over in a maternity bra. As a 16G, I usually find the XL size to be a good fit - the lyric ones from Farmers are ok, or the Lovable brand. ]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2011 12:20:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1349912&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1349912 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1349477&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1349477 Author: Cinderella

I went from a 12C to a 14DD. They stayed like that even when I stopped breastfeeding. Who knows how massive they'll be this time? I didn't really notice too much change until my milk came and they got huge - almost looked like a porn star they were so massive and solid.

I went from a 16E (underwire) to a 16G (nursing bra) but if I put on my underwires, for exercise, then I'm the still a 16E, but they are definately a different shape and heavier.

I started off a full DD and am now filling G's!! My chest size hasn't gone up at all (Still a 14). My G's had a bit of room (purchased a cup size up for when milk came in) but overnight the other day my mams got even bigger . I do have to say that this is hotMilk I'm talking about. I've found with theirs you have to add about a cup size to what you would be comfy in and for bigger busted girls ALWAYS go for the full cup styles (otherwise I got really bad "foob" issues). And even though I'm not BF'ing yet (soon I hope) I've found the A frame support ones much better.
Like MrsJMcD I've found the Triumph ones to be great and was comfy in my 14E's for ages after I out grew my E cup hotmilk bras. But due to availability (or lack of) I had to go up a chest size to get the F cup in the Triumph so I have a lot of spare loops to hook into if my chest suddenly explodes lol.

Hope that helps and congrats on your pregnancy. ]]> Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:12:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1347737&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1347737 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1347542&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1347542 Author: MrsJMcD

I was a DD before pregnancy, got up to an H by the end of my pregnancy, that saw me through the early days with heaps of milk, and I've since gone back down to a G...hoping that I drop back further when I stop feeding in a few weeks...

As for brands, I found hotmilk quite unsupportive (I'm wearing an 18 right now.

I'm 40w + 3 pregnant at the moment (not that I'm counting or anything, heehee) and was a 12E pre-pregnancy. Now I'm wearing a 14F-16E depending on the brand. Will be interesting to see what my boobs do once I start breast feeding.

I'm big boobed..

With Daniel I started out a 12E/F (bra dependant) and grew to a 16G.

With Alex I started a 14F and ended up only JUST fitting a 16H.

But now I'm down to a 12E/DD but that's from weightloss. I'm 10kg under my pre preg weight.

Bra wise I've tried most brands out there. Everything really in NZ is crap if you get past a G. This was my fav...linky..

Hmm well I'm only small - 5 feet 2 inches if that and was 54kg pre pregnancy. All up I gained about 15-16kg over the 9 months (I did lose about 3-4kg in the first 3 months so really only gained about 12kg) and my bra size was a small B cup and before I gave birth I was a large B cup/Small C cup!

For me personally my bra size didn't change until my milk came in with breastfeeding. I went from a large B cup to a large DD/small E in the space of about a night. Ouch! Anyway that was as big as my boobs got and they got smaller as time went on and are now back to if not smaller than pre pregnancy. ]]> Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:52:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1346404&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1346404 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1346391&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1346391 Author: kiwiking

I'm only 5 weeks (and 3rd day of actually knowing) and this is one of the things I'm interested in finding out.

I'm already an F cup and have been all my adult life. My best friend from school was an FF/G and when she had her kids she went up to a J and is still there a year on.

Please tell me not all big boobed women get even bigger and stay that way? Shopping for bras is a nightmare at the best of times.

And if they do get humungous, which labels would you recommend (already aware of HotMilk through my work but always keen for actual reviews from customers).

Many thanks and be prepared for more questions!]]> Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:38:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39576&PID=1346391&title=how-big-do-your-boobs-really-grow#1346391
