Anybody else whose boobs keep growing in midlife?

Yep! I’m 49 and am 5’7” and 132. I look fat in chest up pics because of my boobs. 34DD

Mine are generally small and deflated but every four months or so, they are full and sore for a few weeks. These magic boobs are usually accompanied by a period that comes two weeks early and lasts for 10 days. I'd rather have the small deflated boobs.

The joys of being 51!

This is me, although I've had only 1. Back to DD now.

This is terrifying.

Yes! I'm 46. I was always a 36B and after 3 kids I'm a 34 C. I love my boobs; I can't believe they've gotten nicer with age. I weigh about the same as before kids so I dunno if nursing did it or what.

Ok I really look forward to this. I'm thin and I've been a B cup my entire life (except when I was pregnant and nursing and went up). 43 now. Exciting stuff.

Those whose boobs got larger later in life--do you see the same trend in your family, i.e., your mom/aunt/sister?

This did not happen to my mom, so I'm not holding any breath here. I've been A most of my life. Whenever I do gain weight, all would go into my middle and nothing to my chest.

Mine aren’t larger, necessarily. They’re just *longer*. Gravity. And 3+ years of nursing.

Yep it’s hormonal changes. I’m 43 and never had much in the way of breasts. Now they just keep growing. Yes I’m gaining some weight, but weight never went there before. Most of my weight is going to breasts now. I also have acne that I never dealt with when I was younger.

Not my mom, but my dad’s mother. She had the most enormous knockers. I’m turning into my grandma.

I love big, Mom boobs. Sorry… 🤷‍♂️

Yes. I'm 48, 5'7 and 125 lbs, so not fat, and mine went from 30DDD to 32J after the kids. I look like a p* star and always have to dress carefully.

I’m so jealous. I had cute Bs, now after nursing for a cumulative 4 years, they are like pancakes. My youngest is almost 5, so no hope of recovery. I’ve considered implants just to feel like myself again but can’t justify it on multiple accounts (cost, time, some cancer risk, worse mammogram views….).

+1. In better shape now than ever. Only place I have gained weight is my boobs and I hate it. The “I wish” posters are missing the point. It’s uncomfortable and unflattering, especially when you are otherwise petite like me.
