During pregnancy, most women will increase one full size in both cup and rib band (i.e. from 36B to 38C). About 48 to 72 hours after giving birth, your breasts will increase at least one more full cup size (i.e. from a C to D or even DD cup), when the milk comes in.

A few weeks after the birth of your baby, your ribcage will gradually start shrinking back to your pre-pregnant size (i.e. from a 38 to a 36 size).

After about 10-12 weeks of nursing, your cup size will also begin to reduce a little, gradually reducing approx. one cup size.
