M-it-3 - make sure you check in here each day!

It'll be interesting to see if you overtake me!

I'm just wondering what the first thing I'll feel to indicate stuff is happening will be..

I want regular updates from you too.

Also I'm really curious how close we will be given we were within a day of each other getting our CBFM peaks.

Lol at the boob convo, mine are 36C, same as they always have been lol. No change, altho I did have some yellow crust in my nipple this morning (do hope no-one is having a late meal lol)

Ice - I used maternity pads for the first 24-48hrs post birth as it was really heavy, and had to change that every hour or so for the first 12hrs ish, even doubled up on the maternity pads lol. Then went onto night time towels with wings as they were comfier (sp?). Dont panic when you find clots in your pads, thats normal, and pleasant too might I add lol.

Can any of you ladies who have had babies before help with something please.

Maternity pads, is it worth getting the proper maternity pads or will super plus / maxi / night time normal ones work just as well?

Any opions?

i used normal always ultra ones. i did buy maternity ones, but tbh it is like putting a pillow in your knickers. omg so uncomfy and they are huge :eek: i've never seen anything like it, i only wear thongs , that was so funny trying to keep the pad in my thongs, lasted all of 2 mins before going back to the always.:rotfl:

Hi Ladies

I would suggest night time towels as these will give you more protection from leaks etc and you dont always have to spend alot of money on these either so shop around. Dont forget to buy breast pads as these are brill and will save on doing loads of washing and again you can get cheaper versions of these as well.

By the way, I'm currently expecting my fourth child in april so i will be stocking up on these and if you need any advise feel free to pm me and good luck xx

I would start the 1st week or 2 in Mat pads as they are designed for very heavy flow I don't think a standard pad could have coped with my 1st 2 weeks of bloodflow I then moved onto stardard ones reducing down to a liner.


Bras: Royce go upto a L cup! I've seen them in John Lewis, just had a quick look and heres one for example http://www.johnlewis.com/14362/Style.aspx

with DD I was a pre pregnancy dress size 6 and bra 32A ended up a size 16 and bra size 38 DD !

This time I started dress size 12-14 bra 36C
I am now 14-16 bra 38D
Hoping not to get much bigger.
I found that from 3 till 6 weeks after the birth they were artificially larger as my milk had come in but hadn't settled into a good supply and demand routine. Once I got to 6-8 weeks after the birth they settled to the size they were just before the birth as DD was consistant and my boobs know where they stood so to speak

Mine are a bit manky too, was the same the first time, I think they are leaking a microscopic amount which is drying in the crevices.

Lord I hope mine grow some more. I'm a 36AA and it's only since I got pg that I filled the cups out completely!
I did have a browse and most places don't do nursing bras under a size B, I'm a bit worried about what I'm going to do tbh Is there any other below-A women out there or am I the only one?

Glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing this. Did wonder if it was normal or not.
