Anyone else think bras are a little expensive or is it just me 😐 i have to buy comfortable ones especially during pregnancy when my boobs get bigger.

Avatar

Diapers and formula because to be honest I was planning on breast-feeding but that didn’t work out and The nightmare behind buying a bra that actually fits and how after pregnancy you may lose the weight but if you go on birth control at least the one that I am on you gain all that weight back from your pregnancy really quickly and trying to adjust having to buy bigger pants and also why can’t A tall girl with a big backend find pants that will fit because like Walmart is where I’m in ago and they have some cute things but their pants always suck like they might fit me my waist wise but not hips or length either Like I feel like I have to customize my pants at this point and I’m not even good at sewing like I know how to but dude I suck so bad
