Q: why are my girlfriend's breasts getting bigger. she's not pregnant and not even close to her period time. they only grew a bit? she's really skinny too so why are they getting bigger?

: Since breasts contain fat tissue, weight gain is one cause of breast enlargement. Genetics are a major cause though. Look at the women in her family. Sexual intercourse can cause temporary increase in breast size.
