Hi there, you really don't need to be too concerned about the size because it has nothing to do with being able to breastfeed successfully or not. I started out a 34b and went up to a 38d once I started feeding my first. Afterwards I went down to a 34aa but have had no problem feeding my next 4 children. I'm expecting number 6 in June and am still feeding my 23 month old! Once your baby arrived it will take a while to establish feeding so expect your boobs to change size more than once so definitely get measured and get a good supportive bra. If you need help with feeding you can find support either at the hospital, through your local NCT group or there is lots of advice available online. I hope that's put your mind at ease somewhat and all goes well for you when your little one arrives xx

How many weeks pregnant are you? From my knowledge most woman grow at least 2 cups sizes over the 9 months. I was more concerned about how fast mine were growing and how uncomfortable they are!

Don't worry about it they will still fill with the milk needed for baby no matter how small. They will enlarge as the pregnancy goes on but they will stretch more when the milk comes through x

This was my worry because I was only tiny and I have 2 children now and my beeast are still small ( didn't seem to grow) but I still breastfed! Honestly don't worry your self, milk will still produce and you will be able to feed the baby the way you want :) xx

Boobs are amazing. Do not fret. They'll do exactly what needs to be done to feed your child for as long as you both want to. And remember: it takes up to 6 weeks to establish good breastfeeding - so if you're keen, don't give up. My milk didn't come in for 5 days and lo took 11 days to latch due to an undiagnosed posterior tongue tie. I expressed with an electric pump and used medela teeted bottles and combination fed at the beginning but by 6 weeks had managed to breastfeed exclusively and went onto successfully breastfeed for 18 months. As with everything, your journey together will be just as unique as every baby born xxx

Don't worry! Not all women's boobs change much in pregnancy. Size has nothing to to do with breastfeeding. You still have milk ducts. Infact sometimes women with smaller boobs can have an easier time in terms of doing things like feeding one handed etc. X

Boobs whether big or small are quite efficient at breastfeeding.
