Breast size: If you are having regular cycles and your nipples are fully developed, that is your breast size. Otherwise, see your gyn.

Got periods?: Have pubic hair? Have regular periods? Developed nipples? Then you probably are small breasted-some women are. Any doubts or questions see gynecologist or follow up with pediatrician.
