could i still be growing?

im a 16 year old girl and im turning 17 in june.

im 5'1 and well im obviously going through puberty and well i was wondering if i am still going through the physical change that bodies go through? could i still grow taller? and could my hips get more curves and my waist get narrower still?
also well im not sure if my boobs are still growing. i was 34D but yesterday i was told im a 32E.... do boobs grow till your 18? cos im getting a bit worried that if my boobs get any bigger im going to have a bad back. im already getting back aches.

i was just wondering.

I think you continue growing for ages.

I was definately not fully developed when I was 16. My body became far more woman-like in the last 3 years (I'm 19) than before I was 16. Before I had no hips at all, and now I do. My breasts didn't really grow that much and I didn't get any taller.

I envy your breasts-size. I am a small girl but I accept what I was given :smile:

People grow till there 18.
Even after then your figure can still change drastically with weight gain/loss.
I always had a very boyish figure with A boobs and narrow hips.
Then I hit 22 put on a couple of stone and I have B's and hips :smile:

If you get a very bad back from your boobs you may be able to get them reduced on the nhs in the future. But i wouldn't worry over much.

I thought my boobs had stopped growing when they reached what I thought was a 36B at about age 16. Now (age 18) they are a 36C/34D! I think it's due to hormones etc from a new relationship that I'm in.

Have you tried asking your Mum when she stopped developing? I was talking to my Mum about boobs the other day :biggrin:

and I told her how I had found out that I was bigger than I thought and she said that she was about that size before she put on weight. So, it may be interesting to ask your Mum about her own development :smile:

34D and 32E mean that your cup size -the actual size of your breasts - has stayed the same. You were just wearing the wrong backsize before.

If you go on hormonal contraception at any point they may grow.

When I thought I was a 36B, some bras fitted fine. I've also become more "fuller" and generally perky. I went on the pill over 2 years ago.

Whether the OP was wearing the wrong bra size or not before is irrelevant really isn't it? She wants to know if she's likely to have stopped growing now or not.

Do you know why they may grow as a result of hormonal contraception? Is it just a side effect/result of the additional hormones?
