A member asked:

Can a woman's breasts still grow after a miscarriage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: That would depend upon the gestational age of the miscarriage and how quickly the pregnancy hormones leave her body. Presumably the hormones associated with pregnancy will cause breast enlargement and the hormones of pregnancy do not disappear immediately after a miscarriage.
