Breast Development Question?

Alright, so, I'm 5'1", weigh about 105 pounds, and I'm 21 years old. I understand that breasts start developing around the time you get your first period (I was 13 or 14). I became pregnant at 16 years old, and I don't believe my breasts were done developing. I am curious as to weither it's possible that my pregnancy may have interrupted my natural breast growth, or if they may grow some more still? As it is, I barely fill an A cup, and my breast still has the 'nipple mound' on top of the actual 'breast mound'. I know realistically that I will never have big breasts without breast augmentation. I just wish they'd grow a little bit more. I'm sick of looking at myself in the mirror and seeing the body of a 12 year old child.

    breast buds usually appear before your period does, not when you start, and if anything the flood of hormones during pregnancy would have sped up their development, not stunted it, also being so skinny it would be likely that you have not stored any fat in your breasts, and mammary glands and breast tissue itself does not take up a lot of room. just because your breasts are small does not mean they are undeveloped. also if you started your period at 13 you would most likely have finished growing at 15, before you got pregnant.

    I know how you feel. I'm 5'3" and small chested and am always I.D'd and mistaken for my daughters sister! Its unlikely your breasts will grow anymore from puberty, the only way they will grow now is through weight gain or hormones or surgery like you said. And its unlikely that having a child at 16 interrupted their growth. If your mum has small breasts, your destined to be small I'm afraid. Not what you want to hear I know! But there is something that may help. Try taking the female hormone pill for example Yasmin (the one that contains female hormones, not male). take it continuosly for 3 months before stopping for period (this is how I take mine) and your breasts will swell due to the hormones. Mine have gone up 2 sizes without gaining weight, however when I stop taking it for my period they deflate back down, so sadly its not permanent but 3 months at a time isn't too bad a deal!

    Try to love your own body, your cute and petite. Your breasts are small and pert... better than big and saggy. Personally, I think big natural boobs are quite ugly as they tend to look like long saggy things with no bra on, they only look good when they're fake as they are more pert and round looking. Have a look at natural big and small breasts on google. Look at celebs like kate moss and keira knightley. Everybodys different. Love who you are!

    I agree with Irene, your very skinny, your the healthy weight of a girl 14, but your 7 years older.

    yes, and because of that they wont grow anymore naturally

    becoming pregnant may temporarily make them bigger as your breasts get ready to produce breast milk for the baby
