They won't necessarily get worse. I've heard mixed. Some people get them when pregnant and some when the milk comes in. <P>They will fade to a whitish silver. Just think that this is their purpose. Breastfeeding is such an amazing thing. I would never, ever trade breastfeeding for "perfect" boobs. It's what they were designed for. I know it's all hard to take in but it's so utterly absolutely worth it!!!!!!!!Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:21:48 GMTjbucklehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic426190-15-1.aspx[quote][b]jbuckle (7/7/2008)[/b][hr]Sounds like stretch marks... do you think?[/quote]</P><P>:crying: :crying: :crying: OMG I just google imaged stretch marks on breasts from pregnancy and that is totally what it is!!!!! :crying: :crying: :crying: eww this is horrible - I haven't even grown much!!

I know my chest is like a road map right now. When your pregnant your blood volumn increases A TON- which is why you can see your vessles easier. Maybe just check with your doctor at your next appointment-?! Ease your mind.Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:39:37 GMTeeklrbhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic426190-15-1.aspxThat's totally normal! You're carrying alot more blood and your boobs are filling up with colostrum, etc. and getting ready for le bebeh! :)</P><P><FONT color=#1f5080 size=2>ETA: Mine didn't grow at all until Rachael was born ... and let me tell you ... they are HUGE more that my milk's come in! LOL</FONT>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:38:36 GMTigottajlohttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic426190-15-1.aspxhi all, this may be TMI but I just need to know I'm not alone (or that I am and need to see a doc)</P><P>I am about 4.5 months along and lately my breasts seem to be turning funny colours :P I've been noticing red and purple marks on them almost like blood vessels are popping just under the skin or something like that :ermm: they don't hurt and I haven't had a huge growth spurt (obviously they have grown a little and are definately fuller but I'm still wearing the same bra I did 4 months ago albeit its tighter and getting close to needing a new one). Also, I'm pretty sure it is not stretch marks. </P><P>did anyone else get this? will it go away? do you think something is wrong in there?Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:35:06 GMTballoongrl
