Big BB's during pregnancy = girls? It's science.

[begonia]

Just found this study online and 'bout started cracking up. But hey, Atomic, it references good ol' TW! I love the last part where they surmise that perhaps women who have female fetuses on board get bigger breasts to entice their partners to stick around.

Here's the link:

FWIW my girls got MUCH bigger with DD1's pregnancy :bigsmile:

****Props to anyone who laughs at "It's science" and imagines Will Ferrell saying it in Anchorman.

That is one area I do NOT need to grow in!

I can't remember at all the difference between my boobs during pregnancies with my girls to my boys. :)

OMG. If my BB's get any bigger during this next pregnancy, they're going to need their own zip code....

[Indira]

Aah now this is good news! since loosing weight on the girl diet made my boobs look like peppermint tea bags :tissue:

[shouldihope?]

I know since being on the girl diet they seem like big deflated balloons.

So for me... C before preg with DS1, D after him because I got preg right when he stopped nursing, since DS2 will be nursing while I am preg I wonder if they will stay the same, very worried they will go up in size with the next baby, and if they get bigger I will fall over because boobs plus a baby can be painful on the back!

lmao me neither!! maybe I should tell my husband this and he might join in on the girl sway, because he is all for breastfeeding because "it keeps your boobs bigger" *rolleyes* lol I guess 9mos of big boobs isnt long enough for him lol

OMG my bb's were b's and by the time i was 10 weeks preggo they were d's! I had deep purple stretch marks at that point also and i didnt even get my first belly stretch march until i was 33 weeks pregnant.

[nicnee1976]

With DS1 they were enormous. Went from 36B to 40DD!!! They have got smaller after each pregnancy and have not gotten so big with each subsequent pregnancy. This time they are the smallest so far with only 1 size increase.

Mine get HUGE. I nursed my youngest son til he was 2 and I was wearing a 36DD. they get even bigger.

:rofl::rofl:hahahahaha...what a HILARIOUS post! thanks for the laugh girls...i agree, big boobs are such a pain, specially when u run...wish i was a B too...

My DH would get onboard for sure! I am a B and only got to a C with DS1 & DS2!! Mind you, no matter how big they are when I am BF I don't want DH anywhere near them. Just feel like a feeding machine.

[purple sky]

OMG I would love to complain about big bb's LOL mine are sadly a small B :( haha but with DS1 they got HUGE! not as big with ds2 and ds3 though

[alreadyneedivf]

by 6 weeks--I already went from an a to a c (although it may be the hormones from ivf also) and now my boobs are popping out of the cs--so I guess I went from an A to a D--but I'm having a boy:) Hoping I at least am a B after birth but that may be unrealistic:)
