Mine went from a A/B cup, to a definite B cup for a couple of days when my milk came in (maybe a C if I was lucky, I was wearing nursing singlets so it's hard to tell), and then straight back to normal after that. Despite not being stick-slim or anything, the boobie fairy missed me  In saying that, I have no trouble with supply.

I was a large B or small C before I had children, I went up to a large C with my 1st and hasnt changed after 4 babies wish I could say the same for my weight each one adds 10kgs but never take it with them when they leave. took me a hard month to loose the 1st 10kgs now I have 30 more to go.

I went from a DD to off the charts when my milk first came in, then it settled down to a G! After 2.5 years of breastfeeding, they're still big but I'm also pregnant so I wouldn't have expected them to go down yet. My friends who have experienced big increases have mostly said they shrink back again when you're finished with breastfeeding ... I really hope so!
As for bras, I hate maternity bras - Fayreform, Womama, Hotmilk, Hickory make them in larger sizes but I really prefer breastfeeding singlets. I find the boobs are always escaping every time I bend over in a maternity bra. As a 16G, I usually find the XL size to be a good fit - the lyric ones from Farmers are ok, or the Lovable brand.

for pregnancy or non-breastfeeding outings "Zabu" brand from farmers are fantastic, I was a 10D before this pregnancy and always hard to find 10D bras that are a good shape/fit/colour.
went up to 12D / DD when pregnant early on. now at 23weeks just went down got another zabu 12F sigh, too squashed in the 12E, have got 12E/F hotmilk bras for after as that is what I was last babies so here's hoping they will fit again.
by the way
zabu retail at $44.95 but at the moment with the red dot sale I got bra for $14 and they had loads on sale.
I find the new hotmilk lacy styles not supportive enough and prefer the moulded cup from a few years ago styles azure blue or the pinky/brown floral.

How big do your boobs really grow?
