Second pregnancy - need some bra help
I'm 21 weeks pregnant with my second child, a girl, and I'm up to 30FF from 28E. With my son, I remember growing to around 30F and staying that size for quite a while. I ended up at 30G/GG at the end and slowly went down as I lost weight. But this time, even though I'm doing a better job controlling my weight gain, it's like consistent growth all the time. I bought a bunch of cheap 30Fs and FFs thinking it would take a while to grow out of them, but most of the Fs are already too small and the FFs will be getting there soon at this rate. Bands are starting to get tight as well. I'm only halfway done!
I'm trying to plan ahead and have bras ready for when I need them, but I don't know what to expect - am I just going to end up at 30GG sooner this time, or will I get even bigger? Or maybe the growth will suddenly stop? Hard to plan ahead when I have no idea what to expect.
So I'm wondering, other moms who have had multiple pregnancies, did you grow more (or faster) the second time? Is it different depending on the sex of the baby? I know everyone is different, but it would be helpful to get anecdotes from moms who actually know what they're talking about and won't just tell me they went from an "A" to a "C".

I grew less the second time, even though I gained more weight. I figured it was because my body was more accustomed to the hormonal changes the second time. I guess we all respond differently. I doubt it means anything, but my first child was a girl and the second was a boy.
My friend went from 28F-ish to 28J when she had her son, then to 28GG. Now she's pregnant with her second (most likely a girl)"and now is around 28J in 34th week - so she'll probably grow a bit more.
I am in week 7 (my first pregnancy) and my breasts are now heavier. I am praying they won't grow much, I am 28j/jj so not much cup sizes to go. :D
