Yeah I breastfed all 3 of mine for 10-12mo and unfortunetely I never kept any of my bigger size, if anything they look worse now than before I had babies, but don't know for certain, as I was only 17 when I had my first.. I just remember being embarrassed by my size back then..

im an A cup can wear B but i like them feel snuggle not loose. They say during pregnancy your boobs grow well maybe so but it went back to my boob size afterwards. Well with my sister it was the other way round. She was an A cup and now a C cup. I guess with the breast feeding for long period of time it stays big. I breast fed but only for short period of time. Her daughter is now 2 and she still has big boobs. Maybe if i ever have one i will try to stick around a little longer on breast feeding so i can have a bigger boobs.. lol

I always buy A cup, but I think a AA would work fine, I just rarely see them around.. I tell everyone my 30th b-day present to myself will be a pair of implants, haha.. But I highly doubt I'd ever go thru with it, or have the money to waste away on them.. It would probably be so weird getting used to, I can't even imagine.. I can still dream though!:)

Tanya, I too am small..I'm an A cup normaly so your not alonr there. I am almost a B I think now because I'm preg. I hate being in an A cup cuz it's hard to find bras that are pretty my size & sometimes I have shopping in the lil girls section. At least we get to enjoy being bigger during pregnancy! :)

I believe there is something they can give you for sickness, not sure what its called as I never needed it, (& they didn't prescribe it 9 yrs ago when I had my first, when I was so sick I couldn't even hold down water).. I believe a vitamin is also supposed to help.. Vitamin B12 I think it is.. I know its a definate NO-NO to take your prenatal on an empty stomach...No way could I hold those down with nothing to soak it up..

I know the tiredness is hard to get by.. It was the worst with my 3rd baby.. I would fall asleep so early and sleep for 12 hrs then be dosing off on the couch afew hrs after waking up.. It really is true that every pregnancy is different, because with all 4 they have been completely different, especially with this one.. You'd think this was my first baby I'm asking Dr so many questions on things I'm feeling that I've never experienced before..

Well before I was pregnant I weighed 53kg (116lb) then I went up to 54kg (119lb) and now over the last 2 weeks of being sick I am back down to 53kg. I am not overly worried but I am thinking of going to the dr to see if there is something I can take to make me not throw up as much and feel a little better....

I haven't had the blue veins start yet, my nipples are a little bigger but not too much... I am a C cup, sometimes a D but mainly a C, I don't class myself as big, I would be happier with bigger but Hubby always says more than a handful is a waste! :) He is a funny bugger. My bbs aren't too sore either, they have settled down.

So far today I am feeling okay, I threw up this morning before breakfast and now it is 10am and I am still okay so far..... I am tired though, I have had a couple of little lie downs. My house is so messy, I have to try and do some cleaning today! I have to try and find some energy.

Yeah with my 1st I showed late and my next 3 I think I showed earlier and earlier.. I think because everything has been all stretched out before, I gain alot of weight, so I know with my 1st I had stretch marks on my butt and thighs before I even had a belly... But my boobs never grew 2 cup sizes...or even 1!! I wish!! I am normally so small.. a AA, so being pregnant and nursing (when they seem huge) I am still wearing the same bras, they are just fuller... I know before too long you should start getting blue veins thru them though, And my nipples are huge.. I like to cover them up getting into the shower because I don't even like looking at them.. They will stay this way til I am done nursing... Too bad I couldn't keep the size though, even though I am still small, its better than normal!!

:) that's so cute, wearing maternity clothes to fit in with being pregnant! :) The biggest thing I am really looking forward to is feeling the baby move and having Hubby feel it too! I am looking forward to getting a baby bump but I know it will come and then when I get big it will be uncomfortable so I guess I am to just be great full for the moment.

So with your 1st pregnancy you didn't show till late and with this one you showed really early - didn't you?

With the night job I wasn't too worried if they flipped, I figured if they put pressure on me or was nasty about it I would simply resign as we don't need the extra cash it brings in but it's nice. I said when I had started that job that I wasn't going to over do it and that goes double now that I am pregnant - Me and my family come first! :)

I haven't changed at all body wise, I was reading the posts on August babies where a lady was saying she was 8 weeks and can't fit into her clothes and her bbs have gone up 2 cup sizes! My belly is still the same, my bbs are a little fuller/heavier but haven't gone up in cup sizes. Other than being sick, you wouldn't even know I was preggers!

Well I am glad your job was understanding.. Alot of places I've worked at wouldn't have cared less if you were sick and throwing up.. One time I had strep throat, bronchitis and 102 fever, WITH a Dr.s note and my boss called me and threatened to fire me if I didn't make it in that night.. I came in and was laying on the table while I had to sort out 8 peoples medication and she came in and was yelling at me because I had my head down on the table... Those were good times... I'm so glad I don't have to worry about working.. I leave that all up to hubby, haha..

I remember with my first I had my 1st u/s at 17 w. (back then they never did the early u/s') and I wore maternity clothes for the first time that day.. I didn't even need them but I wanted to fit the normal pregnant woman look... So don't be surprised if you don't show right away.. By 6-7 mo I was huge!!

But I can't wait to see that baby bump, when ya get one:)

I am planning on taking photo's of my belly and I will then update my photo, but at the moment I have had no change, as I won't till after 12 weeks no doubt... But I will.

You have updated your photo again, you look really happy and healthy! That's great! I am 7 weeks and 2 days today, I have been feeling a bit better the last couple of days, still throwing up but I don't feel quite as horrible! So hopefully I will keep improving.

I do lie down a lot during the day, having little naps so that all helps as well. I was due to go back to my night fill job this week but I rang them up last night and told them I was preggo and suffering from all day sickness and they were really understanding, so I will give them a call when I am up to going back.

We started back at work with our business on Monday, it has been okay, a bit quite so I have been able to rest plenty.

I am really looking forward to the ultrasound, after that's done and everything is ok we can then tell the rest of the family and friends, yay!

Thanks ladies, I hope she likes it..

So sorry you are feeling this horrible Becky.. Hopefully it doesn't last all the way til 14 weeks.. I know how horrible it is, and just wanting to feel normal again... You'll have so much fun in Feb. at your first u/s.. Its so amazing watching your little one move around (or doing cartwheels and sommersalts) on the screen:)

Wow Tanya, you have done a great job! It looks fantastic! I can't wait to do mine, but I think we will wait till after I'm 12 weeks.

Oh, I have been so sick, I have been throwing up all the time! I have also been so tired,, feels as though I could stay in bed all day, which is what I have been doing, then as soon as I get up, I'm sick! It's horrible, when I am not throwing up I feel like I am going to - I want this to go away! I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant, I have read that it gets better by about week 14! I am not even half way there! :(

I have just booked in for my first ultrasound, it is on 10th Feb. Can't wait to see this little baby that is making me so ill!

Hope you are not feeling too sick Becky.. Throwing up is so much fun, I know.. I think it is worse with your first.. With my first I couldn't even hold down water I was so sick, then with the boys and this one, I didn't throw up once.. But still felt horrible!!

Here's the walls that I spent hrs and hrs on.. haha..

I even found the matching light switch and outlet covers to the bedding..

The test is only a ultrasound but they focus it on the back of the neck to measure the thickness, as if it shows up thicker than the normal range then it has a high chance of down syndrome, but if you were really wanting to confirm for sure there is another test where they stick a needle in your belly and take a sample of the fluid around the baby but this increases your chance of miscarriage. I am only having the ultrasound part done. Hubby and I have given it much thought and debate and have come to the conclusion that if baby did have something wrong then we would have to terminate, I understand your side where you say you would keep it anyway, but then on the other side this world is cruel and hard enough to get through as a healthy, able person. Anyways as the dr said there is a really slim chance as we are young so hopefully we will never have to cross that bridge as I am not even sure if I could go through with it!

I had a great christmas. I threw up for the first time yesterday and a little today but feeling really ill today and have such a lack of energy! I have just finished a chocolate milkshake and that seems to have settled my belly a bit.

I am sure your baby's room looks great! You will have to post a pic! We are painting the outside of our house - it was my bright idea, but gosh it is taking forever and now I want to do a baby room too! One thing at a time though!! :)

I never did any of the testing for downs or anything with any of my kids... There was always a very small, but still a chance of miscarriage, and the way I looked at it, IF anything was to be wrong with the baby, I wouldn't terminate the pregnancy anyway.. But I guess if there was, it would be nice to be prepared, instead of finding out at birth.. If you choose to do the one, I believe its called CVS? Then I believe they can tell you the sex of the baby at like 10 weeks, so that would be neat to find out if you are planning on doing that test..

Well, me and my bright ideas.. I wanted to do her room in stripes, thinking it would be simple.. HA!! Took me 3-4 hrs just to tape up every other stripe, my back was killing me before I even started the painting.. But, its been about 24 hrs since I started and am alittle over half way thru.. Its really looking nice, although I'm not too fond of the pink I chose, I should of chose a more pastel pink instead of Nestle quick pink.. But, whats done is done.. This was my first time ever painting so I'm pretty proud of myself..

Hope you and the hubby have a GREAT Christmas!!!

And you too Angie.. WHERE ARE YOU?!?

I went to my dr appt yesterday, she just went through the things I shouldn't eat and gave me a ref to my ob at the hospital. I rand and made a appt with him - it's on Feb 19th, they are sending me out a pack and I have to go to this other place between 11 and 13 weeks in my pregnancy for a ultrasound to make sure baby is fine and to confirm dates, then I also have to have a blood test within 3 days around the ultrasound to make sure there is no down syndrome or chromozone defects..

Thats great doing the baby's room! I can't wait to do ours! We are doing up the outside of our house this Christmas - painting, it's looking good so far!

Wow, time has gone fast - you will have a baby in no time!

Well I wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas! I hope santa brings lots of nice things!

And Angie, I wish you a Merry Xmas too, I hope you have your BFP for Xmas!

Could I be Pregnant?

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:35:07 -0500

I have been on the Pill for 7 years non stop. I stopped taking the pill on 13th August, got my period 16th Aug - 20th Aug (5 days), had spotting/bleed 24th August, nausea and reflux 12th Sept, Negative pregnancy test 13th September and really sore nipples 16th Sept, they have calmed down a little now.

I have been reading alot in posts and alot of women have said they have had pregnancy systoms when coming off the pill and taken months to get pregnant, could this be what I am experiencing?

I had normal regular periods before starting the pill.
