June 2010

Since babe is coming 10 days into the world cup... on Wednesday when we were celebrating 50 days to the world cup... I was celebrating 60 until I hold my LG

Nelria- that pic was when I was 21 weeks so I was still small then. At work we have a lady that is 36 weeks and I am the same size as she is!!!

I am going on leave on 15th June and having c-section on 21st.

Simone - we are always here for support.
I am going on maternity leave the 14th of May, baby coming via C-section the 24th of May. So another 3 weeks of work left for me.

As for bras, I bought the cheap feeding ones at Woolworths. Went up a cup and a siza around the body. But will see, I have given DH instructions, so he will go and buy more when I need it. Only bought two for now. Don't really want to buy that many.

Thanks ladies for your support.

Thanks Mrs S H for your kind words. Have a great week-end.

When is everybody starting on their maternity leave?

My GP gave my employers the medical certificate stating that baby is due approx 15h June, give or take a week, so I am starting maternity leave on the 1st of June.

What about everybody else?

Ladies sorry, but I really feel like you making gaining weight a big issue, it is a normal thing during preggy days.

I for one have always been big, I wear a size 38bb bra and I'm a size 36/38 in clothes, so for me its not really an issue, and I have not gained much since being preg still wear the same bra. My only fear is that after birth I will be looking so bigggg and ugly, but its okay I have accepted myself as a naturally big person.

Makes me feel sad when all of you are stressing about small weights gain during preg and I have to deal with weight on a daily basis.

Life is unfair.

Nadia- I’m also popping out at Femina, after birth please tell about the experience and treatment at the hospital

Bras - ladies I went to Storm in a G Cup for 1 proper last fitting and was shocked... intially a 34D went up to a 36E and now a 36F! They told me to get 1 cup size bigger. Then I bought 2 more bras from Carefix and I just made sure I bought in the same range. So got like XL I think. It is loosish but fine on me now. So whatever your size is close to BIRTH - just add a cup size.

oooooh the damn bra thing it has me in upheave too as I seriously dont know

I am a b and still am a b and even when my milk came in I was only a c but then down to b again within 4 mnths (breastfed for 9 though) and then proceeded to go down to small b

ok so last time I bought mine from Tums & Tots and they are sportbra like ones that looks like a normal bra from behind so it was super nice for wearing all tops and due to it being sportbra u go for sm, med, lrg etc so it stretches with boobs

so I might recommend to get 2/3 sportbralike ones (carriwell-babycity do nice one) wear these in hospital and to sleep in as they stretch with boobs - then after recovery go to woolies or whereever and fit some on?
