my breasts!

Lol sorry for the title but I'm expecting baby number 4 and I'm exactly 25 weeks I do have big gaps between children and although my breasts have always grown in the first tri I can't remember them doing it again until the milk came after birth, over the last few days they seem to have grown significantly and are very tender. Is this normal? I've got 3 boys now and don't know what this one is I'm both nervous and really excited due September 5 and still trying every old wives tale out there to predict the gender. Would live to hear what everyone else is up to? Rachael x

I'm sorry to hear about your husband as well. I hope for his speedy recovery, my husband has some medical issues as well we are working through. I hope this journey will be safe for us and our spouses as well. This is my 5th pregnancy and only second child i've had miscarried three and this will be our last one we have a 13 yr. old girl, this is a boy! But, i'm sorry i digress I haven't noticed that my breasts getting any bigger, i have noticed my milk has come in a little bit earlier then last time though I'm 22 weeks exactly today. I already have big boobs so i hope they don't get too much bigger...lol

Firstly thanks for chatting I'm hoping when his treatment s over i'll get him back to how he w as or I don't know what I'll do secondly congrats babynesha on your baby girl, I'm convincing myself this is a boy but pretty sure when he or she is in my arms it won't matter, I knew when I found out that there's no guarantee s but in my situation this is my last so a girl would be an amazing surprise.  As for breastfeeding if u can and are willing I would def recommend it s just a feeling you can't describe when your feeding its amazing and something you'll never experience anything like again. Good luck all of you and hopefully speak again soon Rachael xxx

Mine are 12, 10, 8, and 6. I was wondering if the age gap had anything to do with my breasts growing this time :) Monday, sorry to hear about your husband.

My boys are 17 14 and 6 and I too feel like its just as exciting as my first , without giving u too much info I breast fed all after my second I lost weight and my blobs were just flat and empty then they seemed to improve after bfeeding my youngest but this time they seem enormous I can't imagine how they'll be when my milk comes lol I too thought that I wasn't having anymore my other half is ill and in treatment for it he's finding it tough and a nightmare to live with at the moment so it's nice for some light relief in here, thanks for replying xx

Same here.  This will be my 4th. With my other three I don't remember having huge boobs like I do now till after I gave birth and was breastfeeding. With this one by my first trimester I was a whole cup size bigger and my boobs were so tender and achy .

Baby number 4. My kids have a age gap as well. 15,13, and 8. New baby is due july 13th. I dont know if you ladies feel the same but I feel like a band new mom at this. Crazy hun. My breast have become more fuller, but definitely after. I breast feed all of mine. My 8 year old was the longest bc I thought she was going to be my last. I had my birth control fail. O well have a good one.
