Please don't laugh at this but I've really wondered and had no one to ask. I have a rather large bust size and have heard that when you are pregnant that your breasts may get bigger. Is this the case if you're already large?!?? I'm seriously concerned about back problems at work and stuff. Thanks in advance if anyone can answer!

I've been pregnant twice and found that I grow all over during pg. even adding to my already voluminous bosom.

So, yes big boobs get bigger. At least for me anyway, but everyone's body reacts differently to pregnancy.

Good luck...

I was a C cup when I became pg. When I started nursing I grew into a DD. I didn't really notice any extra weight or strain on my back though. I also have back problems and had worried about it. But personally I didn't notice any pain. I think I got more back pain from walking the floor with a newborn. Good luck!

I am a DD. When I am pg I am any place from a G to an I. It is real hard to find a nursing bra. sigh!

Well - mine got HUGE (for me anyway) - especially with this last one - went from a small B to a double D. I hope you don't have that happen but I think it's very likely they will grow once those glands fill up with milk :o) Mine do go back down after I stop nursing though.

I'm a small C (smaller than before pregnancy/nursing, unfortunately!) I didn't change much in size while I was pregnant. I was a little fuller, but not that much. So it's possible not to change too drastically.

Not only cup size, but don't forget your rib cage expands some, too, so instead of being a 36C, I went to almost a 40D!

I also grew I was a small A and went to a D cup during pg. When I nursed I was out of a DD! My sister had the same reaction. I know MANY people that have only noticed minor breast enlargement during their preganancy, so I guess like everything else, everyone is different.
