Family Background <\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One thing that has the biggest contributions to the size of your breasts<\/a> is your genetics. Your genes have lots to do with your characteristics, including the size of your breasts. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, just because your mom is a D cup<\/a> does not guarantee that you\u2019ll be one too. There are other factors that influence the size of your breasts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Age<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Your boobs may continue to <\/span>grow or shrink depending on your age<\/span><\/a>. Breasts start growing at puberty. Not all teens start developing breasts at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breast growth depends on the amount of estrogen, a female hormone, you are producing. <\/span>Your breasts can start growing at the age of 10 and typically stop growing once you are 18 to 20 years old. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you get older, your breast tissues will begin to shrink because of tissue dehydration. Later on in life, your breasts will start to sag and get smaller<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body Weight<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Changes in your body weight can also affect the size of your breasts. Your breasts are made up mostly of fat tissues, so the more fatty tissues you have, the greater chance you\u2019ll have bigger breasts and vice versa. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Period<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Menstruating means having more hormones in your body. During your menstrual cycle, you may experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) which includes pain in your lower abdomen and back, headaches, mood swings and tender swollen breasts that are painful to touch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These symptoms are all because of the change in the <\/span>amount of estrogen and progesterone in your body<\/span><\/a>. These hormones can stimulate milk ducts making your breasts more tender and larger. After your period, your breasts will return to their normal size.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pregnancy and Nursing<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pregnancy can cause massive breast size changes because of your hormones changing. These changes are the bodies way of preparing your breasts to nurse a baby<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n
