Some women do gain breast sizes when on birth control due to the hormones.

That's why. Lower dose pills have fewer side effects, and higher dose pills have more side effects. One of those side effects is increase in breast size.

That usually doesn't happen until the 3rd trimester, very far along, when the fetus and womb are very big and begin compressing the bladder. A woman normally knows she's pregnant long before she has t constantly pee!
