    Hi everyone,

    On the subject of bras...

    I am really surprised at the amount of well endowed ladies on this thread! I went and got measured at Bravissimo on Sat and bought 2 new bras - £70!!!:eek:

    I was a 34HH pre pregnancy and now wearing a 34JJ! If they grow any bigger, I will be completely stuck and unable to leave the house. Have noticed my back getting very sore in the past week with the extra weight I am heaving around.

    I actually went to get bigger bras as I have had extremely painful nipples. Not sure if I have asked about this before, but has anyone else suffered? It's not my breasts, just my nipples when I get cold. :o They become massive, and have me crying in agony and turn a funny colour. I thought they were getting bruised because my bra was too small, but now I am wearing a JJ and it's still happening. Anyone else had this? I mentioned it to my midwife twice, but I don't think anyone realises how much pain I am in. It doesn't seem like what I imagine to be normal when people say they have sore boobs.

    Need to get some bigger jeans/trousers, feel like I've had a big dinner all the time, even when I haven't, but actual bump not really there yet - might be bump pushing the chubby bits forward! :rotfl: Might be cheaper to use old hairband trick for a bit longer & get some nice (cheap) summery things later.
    A xo

    Haha thats what my bump is lol. Just it pushing my fat forward :D

    Also i have a permantant hairband on my jeans :)

    And primark do some lovely and very strechy, summer dresses. I bought some for my holiday and now they'll be handy throughout summer when i do actually get a bump :)

    And they are very cheap to, roughly £6 a dress :)

    I asked him to help me tidy and he said "whats the point you only make mess with all your magazines as soon as i've done it!" :O lol.

    But to be fair i do have like 100's of magazines (pregnancy and wedding ones) and nowhere to store them :D

    When i tidy up though i sometimes get an urge to 'sort' instead and just sort out random area's of the house, then i get bored and tidy quickly and read all my magazines lol. x

    you sure our OHs aint the same person :rotfl:thats what i get whats the point its only gonna get messing again :rolleyes: x
    :)Still searching .....:)

    EA - apart from the above problems with my nipples and extreme tiredness, I had no other symptoms. I am now 18 weeks and have had no sickness at all. I was like you in that I just wanted it a little for reassurance, but once I had scan, and from reading stories on here, I am sooooo glad I didn't!

    I have sore nips on and off... at the moment they're sore... I found that putting a little cottonwool infront of them helped cushion them :) Like you I'm a 34J (checked my bra before I stuffed it in the wash lol) now and should probably go up a size but I've only got 4 weeks and a bit to go! I'm not buying another bra now! :rotfl:
    Also make sure they have "air" time :) I found that helped a little too - nothing rubbing on them at all for a couple of hours in the evening does help I find...

    Have you looked for nursing bra's yet? I haven't found any yet that look to fit me... there aren't even any in Bravissimo as far as I can tell! :eek: I'll go and get fitted for one in another couple of weeks and just hope one of them actually fits me! Then wait till about 4 weeks after Roo arrives before buying any more as no doubt ribs will go back down to 32 back size and I have NO idea what the cup size will do :)
