Yes my breast have grown through my pregnancy but i will be 36 wks tomorrow i dont think they'll grow larger, just until my milk comes in, (if they do). And thanks all the answers helped me :) i was just lost with this. Lol

When my milk came in three days after giving birth to my son I went from a 34B to a 36E overnight. Two weeks later I settled into 36D and stayed there throughout most of the two years I lactated. If you're going to buy nursing bras in advance I would suggest only sports bras or sleep bras (sized S-M-L) definitely going up a size and saving receipts and absolutely not to buy anything sized with regular bra sizing until at least a week after your milk comes in to regulate your supply and find out what size you really will be while nursing.

I already got some.
They come in s-xl,  not measured like normal bras.  But usually I wear a M,  so I got L to be more comfy and account for larger breasts.
But they're usually really really stretchy.
I hour this helps.. I'm kind of guessing too..  Haha

I've always read, buy one size bigger than you are. I went for the soft, cotton, sport bra type so there's room to grow. When my milk came in my boobs weren't much bigger, just heavier.

Have your breast grown at all throughout pregnancy? Mine got huge and they say they will get bigger.  I would say get a size bigger,  but keep the reciept just in case
