I was 36DD and went up to 38G but they feel a bit big so am going to get myself a couple of 38F for nursing I think, just cheapo ones until I get sized properly a couple of weeks after the birth

I would love a prediction from Princess Coupon if she has time lol (totally of subject I know but it popped into my head in the early hours of this morning lol)

hi
If the bras are only a little bit big i would get a 38FF as then thats only 1 cup size smaller, and may be a bit more comfy, especially when your milk comes in-I remember feeling like dolly parton when mine came in lol I looked like I had 2 great big melons stuck on my chest :rotfl: although I made sure i wore a baggier top cos i was always embarrased by them as they looked reeeaaalllyy big compared to normal luckily they went down after a few days lol

Hi everyone,

I bought new bras and now they are too tight and digging in grr, so need to get more.

Nic - I am having the pressure on the bladder at the moment too. Never really had the whole needing the loo all the time thing but is getting rediculous now.

Our car has gone into the garage for the third time in three weeks, is actually driving me mental!

Jojo - I am glad you got your TENS machine. I am torn about whether to order it or not as we'll most probably - hopefully - have moved by then. I will set up a mail redirect though, and I suppose I could ring to change the address... Hmm... Decision, decisions... Is it only £2 you save by ordering now?

Digital , im not out the woods yet , I dont physically have it. I done the same as you, bought loads of wipes and the required nappies and added my free bag with the code, it was all showing up nicely then like you didnt show on paypal. After reading what had happened to you I phoned up right away and she put me on hold , came back and said they have been having losts of issues with the free bag, she said she had put notes on the "system " against my order and gave me a reference number. She told me to go into the store on monday (to collect order) , with my boots card and ref number and if they didnt accept it then I was to make them phone customer services. Not sure how that will pan out , but I want my free bag , I have the coupon aswell so if they get really stroppy I will buy more nappies,but will try the begging pregnant lady first,lol

Hi,
if you're after a bra for after baby, then I wouldnt get a larger back size (the 36/38 bit) as that size *shouldn't* get bigger when your milk comes in-it should only affect the cup size, so perhaps a 36F?? But as others have said, with both ds1 and ds2 my b o o b s did get a little bigger in the cup size for a couple of days when my milk first came in properly, then they adjusted themselves back tpo the size I had already been wearing lol

To tell if your bra is the right size, the back should be straight all the way round and not ride up your back-if it does then you need a smaller back size and possibly a bigger cup size, and the cups shouldn't 'pucker' at all-the material should be smooth, and there should be no 'bulging' out of the top or sides of the bra. And the best piece of advice is too always try them on as you may be one size in one bra and a different size in another-even in different styles of the same brand.

Sorry if sound like a bossy boots know it all I used to work in a lingerie shop, measuring and fitting bras! x

Not bossy at all, I'm thankful for the advice.

I was measured at bravissimo originally who had me at a 36E so I got a couple from there, then got a couple from primark in the same size but they puckered when I first wore them. They are now ok though so I guess I have gone up another cup size?

Its all so bl00dy confusing isn't it. I think I'll get a set of 36E and a set of 36F from Matalan and see how I get on.

thansk for the advice.

still no news from my friend who went into labour last night - hope she's ok

re: TENS - I got mine from ebay, the Elle for £37 - plan on relisting it after I've used it. Worth a look though - you can get some bargains on there and they dont lose value so you should be able to re-list and get what you paid for it.

No pun intended :rotfl:

I have no idea on bras but I know I need some new ones - OH's brother nearly got an eyeful yesterday when I bent down for something! :rotfl:

My sister's friend has a baby (1 week old today) and she's just posted on Facebook saying that she's put him on hungry baby milk to make him sleep but he's only taking 1 oz at a time and then being sick
How can I tell her to put him back on the normal milk without sounding like a bossy old cow? It can't be good for him being so little or should I just ignore it?

wendz86

Haha didn't realise I had done that!

Well I hope it's just a random hormone attack PP, I kow how hard I'm finding it at the moment and my 20mo is mobile enough to get up and down the stairs / in and out of the highchair...

That's what I did. In fact I used them while I was pregnant as they're the same price as the maternity ones and it seems a waste to pay for separate maternity ones for just a few months.

I never bought maternity ones, just straight to nursing ones, they're only soft bras at the end of the day...

Boo had a rubbish nights sleep but hey ho at least I got back to sleep. Was away to have a quick peek at lappy this morning and it fell of the arm of the chair.....again for about the 7th time and I have now broken it :(. The screen is completely shot I think and it will be £250 to replace it so it looks like a new laptop is in order. Not sure what I will do without it on my days of LOL. I do need it though as I do all my banking online. I was dreading telling DH as he is forever telling me off for leaving it there but he was not too bothered and was like "oh well cold turkey for you ha ha ha!!":cool:

Ouch!! I did this to hubby's laptop... I ended up pushing the charger into the back of it though, he got it fixed but it's never been the same again...

Would you consider a netbook? I got mine from Very, got a new customer first order discount and buy now pay next year... I've been paying dribs and drabs off it so I don't have to find a lump sum come April...

Norks nice word!!!

Why thank you... It's a particular favourite of mine

Apricot, I would put something like "ooh, doesn't sound like it's agreeing with him, might be worth swapping back to the other milk"
