Accepted Answer

Yes/no-see answer: The size of your breasts before being pregnant does not  have a causative relationship as to whether you will get sore breasts during pregnancy, however, when the breasts swell during pregnancy with hormonal changes and milk production, that will have a direct relationship as to how sore your breasts can be.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Mostly yes: Breasts can get much enlarged and swollen which can make them more susceptible to bumps and bruising. Wear a good support bra, and take good care of them. Best wishes.

Question 10

i've read that growing breasts during pregnancy is a healthy indication of future milk supply, true? the bigger the breast, the more milk?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly: Breasts have gland tissue and fat tissue. Gland tissue is what supplies the milk (makes the milk and temporarily stores it). The fat tissue helps give the bigger breast size, but doesn't make milk. Normal gland tissue in breasts big or small can make enough milk at a steady rate for their babies, and make more if a baby drinks more. Some breasts do store more milk so meals can be farther apart.
