Besides pregnancy, what are other *natural* causes of breast enlarging?

I'm sure you expected me to ask for a quick and easy way to enlarge my breasts?

Au contraire... I've noticed - and so has my boyfriend - that my breasts have been getting bigger. I naturally don't have the biggest pair of milk glands, but I've grown used to them over the years and I certainly don't want them to get bigger now I've finally grown attached to their humble size!

Although I am trying to lose weight, I'm not much over my daily weight and I've been struggling with fickle weight problems for years, never with bigger breasts as a consequence. I also doubt that I'm pregnant, but the growing pair is definitely putting me off track.


So, what other natural causes could there be?

Lowryd3r --- they've nearly grown out of my bra's... all of them. I always buy high quality bras that don't shrink in the laundry and last me for years. I've been doing so for years and they never shrunk. So I doubt the bras have shrunk now.

hormones caused by a change in your diet

hormones, weight gain, taking the pill, when u r sexually aroused they can swell. age.

you want bigger ones?

I've heard that stress can cause them to swell.

OMG!! Is that really true about soy?? I keep edaname in the freezer for a quick snack. Do I need to empty out my freezer? Seriously? I've gotten bigger but I thought it was due to weight gain. geez!!

Have you been drinking soy? When I was working at Starbucks I was drinking a lot of soy because I'm lactose intolerant and my boobs grew about a cup size.

Sometimes when you work out a lot, a combination of your muscles getting bigger and fluctuating hormones can cause them to get bigger, but that is rare.

Sometimes, just for no reason at all, your hormone levels can change and a good amount of women have had breast size increases at a certain age.

Other than that, there are a few other foods that I can't remember at the moment that have been known to increase your bust. Hopefully this makes you feel better!<3

Over consumption of soy products (fast food) can do it from what I have read. I guess it has estrogyn in it. It could be a late growth spurt or muscle mas turning into body fat. Just the ones I know of.

Well written question!
Natural causes is simply getting older. When a woman gets around mid 30's, which is round-bout the time that menopause begins to kick in (and risky birthing starts), then the fat poportions of the bod begins to shift.
When I was 34, I went to Glamour Shots. The makeup artist had to literally "brush" a darkened area between by boobs to show up as 'cleavage' in the pics.
When I went back at 37, the brush technique was no longer necessary. I weighed the same (since high school), but the fat distribution shifted and I had up'd a cup size.
My Mom & Sister both passed me up at much younger ages and had great figures. I was the scrawny, stick-armed and stick-legged kid that was doomed to be a barely A-cup for the rest of my life...or so I thought. Now, pushing 50, I'm a C-cup and missin' back in my B-cup'n days. I feel too big, but my hubby ain't complainin' so I shouldn't either, really.
Had no kids, exercised tons between 30 to 45 yrs of age and had nicely toned body, yet my chest continued to go do it's own thing.
So, I guess our hormones change periodically thoughout our lives, and some fairly flat-chested gals of early years do eventually fill out. I had it in my genes; it's just that my genes took their silly time. This is why I find it very destructive for parents in my town to "gift" their 15/16 yr old daughters with boob jobs. So superficial and dangerous to boot. A little patience, and those young ladies would have eventually filled out and been naturally balanced.
Enjoy the ride! If they reach a point of being painfully heavy, you can elect to get a reduction...but until then, feel blessed!

Yes, as Taliesin said, an excess of soy products will increase estrogen production and as a result cause your breasts to increase in size. Other than that, fluid retention may temporarily cause the breasts to enlarge. I'm sure you know that fluid retention is a premenstrual symptom. Finally, I hear you saying that you are not pregnant, but are you absolutely sure?

Well...if you're not pregrant....surely the only other possibilities would be weight gain or just gravity (age?) making them sag so they seem bigger?

it may be your weight but it can also be from something else like if your boyfriend sucks on your breast they could start to produce milk and that can also enlarge your breast
