    Oh forgot to say with regards to bras....

    I hate wearing any bra now ~ I don't get out much (SPD is really bad), so on the odd occasion I do go out, I'll wear a normal underwired one and whip it off as soon as I get home.

    Can't see the point in paying out now for some new bras in a bigger size when I'm due in ust over 3 weeks.

    Think I'll just flop flap free for that time :D

    :rotfl: I cant not wear a bra, (.)(.)'s hurt to much when i dont. To heavy lol.

    I hope i go back to my normal size after pregnancy, have some quite nice bra's that i got at ann summers end of season sale :)

    Hiya everyone hope your all well and your bumps are blooming.

    I'm on my third baby after a 7 yr gap. I have a very quick question when did you first get braxton hicks im 19wks gone now and swear i am getting them already. They are totally painless and last no more than 30 seconds to a minute at a time and happen roughly a couple of times a day normally in the early evening but not everyday. They are just a tightening in my bump making it feel rock hard. Its just that it has been so long i cant remember when they started with my other two and wondered if its normal to have them this early on thats if it braxton hicks.

    My boobs are a 40f(:eek:) at the moment - I just can't breathe properly when I'm wearing a bra, so I have to suffer with the weight of them instead!

    I'm on my 3rd after a 12 year gap. I started getting BH really early this time too.
    Can't really remember when i got them with the other 2, but I know I was into my 3rd tri before I felt them, whereas this time I was in 2nd tri.

    Pre pregnancy i was a 36DD, and now only one of my old bra's fits. Thats a 34DD i think, i had to get it smaller as it was the only one they had left and i really liked it and it was £3 :D

    Im going to wait until i grow out of this one before i buy a new one :)

    In mothercare they are expensive though, like £18. :eek: I've never spent that much on a bra before lol. I could buy lots of clothes in primark for £18! :rotfl:

    I was getting braxton hicks ridiculously early and this is only number 2... They're getting more uncomfortable now too...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Oh I spend loads on my bras/underwear. I think nothing of £30odd for a bra and about £15 for bottoms :o

    My size before pregnancy was 36/38e (depending on brand and style of bra)


    I've been secretly eyeing up the Triumph 'Doreen' bra, how comfortable does that look?! It's bloody horrendous though :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:
