Bra size!!

I know that your breasts grow while your pregnant. I figured it would go up a cup size, but also feel like the band size is getting tight. I used to be a 36 DD, but with covid I have no clue what I’ll be. Did you go up in band size as well as cup size?

Yes. I've gone from a 32DD to 32FF

Yes. So far two band sizes from 30-34. I think it’s pretty normal!

I went for my normal band size because atm the bump comes in the way but after it will go down to normal size eventually. I just went up a cup size. Also bras tend to stretch over time.

Yes the band size will go up too as your rib cage expands to make room for the baby. You can get band expanders rather than continually buying new bras. I’ve gone up a band size and 3 cup sizes, and I think I need to go up again!

Yup. I just started buying bralettes as they’re more comfy

My boobs are very uneven size been that way since 15. So i don't really know now

When I was pregnant I went from a 40 dd to a 40E

The bands on my bras are all way too tight now. I’ve gone up 2 sizes to accommodate my expanding rib cage.
Not sure why I was surprised but it really did shock me that my actual bones have to move for this little boy to grow! Same for pelvis/hips too!

I went from a 34 C to a 36 DD. After that I just started wearing sports bras because regular bras were too uncomfortable

You can buy little bands of fabric that will extend the back of your bra, that’s what I did saves you so much money on buying all new bras! I’m normally a 32e and now I’m a 34g (my due date is tomorrow) apparently they’ll get bigger when your milk comes in too 🤦🏼‍♀️

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
