Pregnancy #41

[Married2019]

For the ladies who have been pregnant/had babies before, how many cups sizes did you go up during pregnancy/post pregnancy if you breastfed? And did they go back to your original size eventually?Might seem like a stupid question but I had to get measured for bras today and I've gone up 2 cup sizes already at 26 weeks and I'm starting to get concerned because I'm only 5'0 with a slimish build/ they weren't exactly small to begin with and I'm going to resemble some kind of very questionable dolly parton knock off

Didn’t get measured in my 1st pregnancy but I did this time and at about 22 weeks I’d gone from a 34a pre pregnancy to a 36c they haven’t gone up any more though but I’m obviously not big chested to begin with after my 1st baby though by the time he was down to a few breastfeeds a day around 9 months maybe, they’d gone back to normal size and still had plenty of milk x

Sperm softens your cervix and orgasms trigger Brixton bucks/the uterus to contract so between the two they’re a dream team it might seem.

just been for my cervical length scan and I got results they’re very happy with but the midwife asked me if I’ll “ go for another section” I didn’t “go” for the first though so feel a bit weird And I feel like I have this decision hanging over my head which is annoying me. I guess I can just book a C-section cos then at least I can choose her birthday and then she can decide if she comes out before that or not.

Tbh I think mine went from a D to an E but god afterwards they shrivel up like sad little things - my boobs looked like they’d done a deal with Queen Ursula from the little mermaid and come a cropper.

That's a relief to hear they do return to normal, otherwise if this level of growth continued I'd be a wee bit concerned I spent enough time pre pregnancy trying to hide them when I'd pick out clothes, never mind making it worse

Don’t get me wrong they definitely weren’t as perky as pre pregnancy my cup size actually ended up smaller because I lost more weight post pregnancy mainly thanks to bfeeding I think, but obviously everyone is different!

I'd cope with not as perky once they go back to a more manageable size. Gone up to an F cup which I know isn't the largest, but when you're only 5'0, the cup is actually bigger than my head

This is my first and I'm almost convinced something will go wrong due to family history. Same as you every little twinge I'm panicking something is wrong. Definitely not alone !

Sorry to hear you’re feeling like this! It’s such a worrying time, I just want to enjoy it as I’m pretty sure it’ll be my last child but I’m finding it almost impossible to relax! How far are you?

14+2. It's my first and probably my only so I am trying to enjoy it but so far it's been constant exhaustion and sickness. The sickness has passed to be fair but has been replaced with pulsing headaches. I feel guilty for moaning, baby is so wanted but jeez I can't wait for pregnancy to be over already

I didn’t go back - pre children I was a 34D and after 2 I’m a 34E… pregnant with number 3 and scared for whats to come! Xx

Anyone from Scotland? I’m not sure if England works the same with the GROW charts. Had a scan today at 38+5 and babygal was 6lbs 6 having been 5lbs 11 at last scan 3 weeks ago and prior to that 3 weeks earlier was 4lbs 4. But I don’t think it could be that accurate today as they couldn’t get her head measurement as she’s so low down which brings down the whole weight. They mentioned me seeing a doctor today to discuss where to go next but the scanner said the doctor not concerned as everything else fine. But no reassurance as to maybe the weight being off due to missing measurements and I don’t get why the scanner wouldn’t say that?! Now booked in for another scan on Monday then the doctor after and I think they’ll speak to me about being induced. I’m just a bit all over the place with what to do and don’t want to force her out if I don’t need to. I’ve just sat and thought/worrying about it all day!! Anyone else experienced similar?

I’m in Scotland not had a scan since I was 32 weeks and that was to check my placenta I’ve not had a growth scan or estimated weight which id actually quite like

Do you not have access to the Badger app? As the grow chart is on there and has the estimated weight. I was getting frequent scans as I was a smoker when I found out I was pregnant.

Im just a bit undecided on what to do!

It doesn’t have weight on mine? Just height and weeks?

I'm not in Scotland but it does work the same here with growth scans.

So with my daughter, they couldn't get her measurements properly, so has the opposite to you and it looked like she jumped up the charts after 3 scans of dropping.
And they just shrugged it off basically.
I've never had an accurate growth scan.
They estimated my second to be 7lb2 at 40 weeks. She was born 5 days later 11lbs.
And this time around, they estimated her to be over 9lb at 40 weeks. She was born 6 days later at 6lb14.

If they can't get the head measurement properly, it will completeeeelyyy change the measurements.
Which will be why the doctor isn't worried and they're happy to just give you another scan next week

You can 100% refuse induction if you don't want it

Does anyone have days where they just feel so overwhelmed by everything? Trying to balance work and life plus being pregnant can just sometimes take its toll. Work is really busy right now and I’m trying desperately to start slowing down, I’m nearly 18 weeks but I’m used to rushing around the country and doing international travel and I’m trying to scale that all back now but it’s just really tough. Had an argument with my other half and now whenever we argue I just want to burst into tears which doesn’t help anyone but I feel there’s so much going on and it all just gets too much.

 

[WeepingCassandra]

Anyone had stomach pains/bladder pains on omeprazole? It makes my heart burn go away but then I can’t sleep the night I take it because my bladder feels like it’s spasming all night

Yesss! I feel like I can manage one thing a day e.g if I'm working that's it I'm too exhausted for anything else. And feel you on the bursting into tears, me and my partner had a stupid argument over something petty last night which I'd usually brush off but I was full on sobbing lol.

Me. I’ve really been struggling with exactly this for the past month or so. My work set-up sounds very similar and also the company is super disorganised and can’t seem to fathom that I’m almost 7 months pregnant. You really do have to advocate for yourself and put boundaries in place, which is a lot easier said than done.
I also end up feeling like when I’m concentrating on work that I’m not concentrating on prioritising baby. It’s a real head messer.
Just know you’re doing your best, put yourself forward and lean on those around you as much as possible x
