Not sure how tall or what you may weight maybe lose weight and that may help

ps buy a prego test to see if you are preggers.
That's a lot of shockingly bad advice all rolled into one. You shouldn't have major surgery because it's inconvenient to find a bra that fits.

Her breasts aren't going to change size just by going to a different person and she shouldn't be wearing bras that don't fit right. They're uncomfortable and don't give proper support, just increasing the inevitable effects of gravity.

Manufacturers do vary a bit and the shape of your breasts may make you need to go up a cup size, but your band size isn't going to change unless you gain substantial weight. The measurement right under your breasts is your band size. If you're 32 inches around, you wear a 32 band. I don't trust companies that go along with that silly "add 4 or 5 inches" system.

You've given a lot of great advice in this thread, UE. Thanks! I especially enjoyed the link to the Thin and Curvy website.

You lived with the existing bras probably for at least good 7 or 8 years before acquiring this amazing knowledge; I'm pretty sure you can make it for a few more months, need be!

I think when someone makes such a bold claim, proof of said jugs should be made public.

You try 36 or 38 and see which one fits better. But that's a pretty large ribcage, I bet fewer ladies are 37 inches around than wear a 36/38. I measured my boyfriend last night as a frame of reference for this very conversation. He's slightly stocky and is 37 inches around (and would wear a AA).
