Jealous of the ladies with bigger boobies! Mine haven't grown AT ALL during pregnancy, in fact they are a bit smaller - same thing happened last time too boooooooooo.

For those a bit nervous about breastfeeding in front of people (whether it's family or when out and about), I would highly recommend going to your local breastfeeding support group when baby arrives.
It is a good opportunity to practise feeding when there are other people around, no-one sits with their baps out in plain view, but if anyone does catch a glimpse then there's no embarrassment as everyone there will be doing it at some point. My group was fab, just like a group of women sitting round chatting and drinking tea or whatever and feeding their babies when needed. There are 'staff' on hand to help and talk to if having any problems with latching, positioning etc, but if you feed fine you are still welcome to just go along and enjoy getting out and talking to people without feeling self-conscious when baby needs feeding. I loved it that I got to practise feeding in front of others, seeing the best ways for me to keep covered where needed and to manouvre baby into position and off again without flashing too much, before feeling confident enough to do it when I was out and about shopping or something.

I agree honeypop I went to a b00b group and met a lot of friends who I kept in touch with. I did at times feel the councellors were extremely patronising and I know there job is to help women and encourage them to continue b/f'ing but some of there expectations/advise was utterly ridiculous. I later found out that one of them had never had a baby before let alone b/feed I was really :mad: at that !!

I am finding under my b00bies really sore and they are starting to get really red, I don't think they have grown but obviously my already enormous rib cage is getting bigger. Going to have to finally get another bra.

I got a letter in at the weekend inviting me to an Ante Natal class but it is just on infant feeding! I wonder if they are doing any of the other classes, was kind of looking forward to going back to them.

Ooops check me all my posts are about (o)y(o)

I remember walking from the bedroom to the shower with no bra on and there was a lovely trail of breast milk all over the floor :eek::rotfl: It just used to pour out of me. I also remember when the MW came round and I was feeding DD and her I was chatting and a bit distracted and hadn't realised that toots had come off my breast but was getting a lovely shower of milk, she was soaking, I will never forget the look on her wee milky covered face PMSL:T!

Haha the trail reminded me of Hansel and Gretel. And I couldn't help but literally LOL at the showering. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I actually considered writing, "If you do an episiotomy without obtaining my written consent I will sue you for assault." but I decided it might be a little too antagonistic and OTT.

Ooooohhhhh I want to write that in now! I've always had a flair for the dramatic.

....No but seriously, do you think they'd take notice? Just I don't want to be sliced and diced down there :rotfl:
