Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

Thank you all for the well wishes for my friend. I still can't believe it. Loraloo, what is SANDS? Is it here in the states or only where you are? If it's here too, I'll definitely pass along the info.
 
And I also saw this and thought how pretty for when I'm BF. Hope they are still doing them when I know what size I shall want!!

Wow! that is pretty. yeah, currently ALL of my bras are nursing bras. one without underwire and one sleeping. The rest have underwire, but are nursing too. I used to work in a maternity shop, so I was lucky and knew which ones were comfortable. We had to try on various clothing items so that we could actually describe the feel and fit to customers. I just bought the bras I have less than 4 weeks ago and didn't feel I wanted to go bra shopping again. Plus, the extenders have 4 more sets of hooks so I should be okay til after baby and can gradually make them smaller as my ribs and boobs get smaller.
 
Peanut - When I was nursing, at least when the milk initially came in, I went from a full C/small D, to a full DD! It was CRAZY!!! DH couldn't keep his eyes off them! But they were not comfortable. They felt like rocks... after a few weeks they went down to a D, then after nursing was all done, back down to a C. I am a full C right now, and went from a 34 to a 36. I bought some nursing bras that were stretchy, almost like sports bras, and some nursing camis. I lived in those for weeks and weeks!
 
Oh, in case anyone isn't on FB, here is my little cub as of yesterday at 13+3:

I am afraid it might be a boy again (I was kind of getting excited at the thought of a little girl... especially since my son has been a real beast lately!) This little bean was moving like no tomorrow!!!

Its the Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity hun, its based in the UK but people from all over use it (not sure if they have it in other countries now or not) there is an online support forum (which was absolutely invaluable to me), helpline number etc, lots of info and help. Some of my closest friends are people i met through SANDS. Bless them all :nope: :hugs:

Good luck to those with scans coming up, cant wait to see more babas!

I have my consultant appt tomorrow, not looking forward to that. Im not sure really what they can offer me seeing as there was no cause for Alfies death and so nothing to really prevent this time iykwim? And Eves death wasnt pregnancy or birth related. Just reassurance I hope.

I like that Nursing bra creative, i didnt know ASDA did them. I have found it really hard to find a decent fitting and pretty nurtsing bra in the past. Matalans fit was just AWFUL! Marks and Spencers fot was nice, and comfy, but so ugly! Can anyone recommend some more please? :flower:
 
Love your scan pics bubs :cloud9: what makes u think it's a boy?

I don't know... just reminds me so much of my son I guess! I could be wrong, though. I was SURE my son was a girl up until the gender scan and it was clear as day he was a boy! I was shocked, because I was so sure! So maybe my instincts are backwards??? Who knows... I was really just hoping for a mellow-yellow jelly bean this time, but so far that is not the case! This little shrimpy was moving the whole time!
 
Aww bless well I do hope your wrong and comes gender scan it's a little girl :) am convinced am having a boy other half thinks girl , but aren't finding out so got a good few weeks to wait!

I would guess girl! And welcome to our little group
 
Hello to the people who just joined :)

I loved seeing all the scans. Yay!

I have my first appt tomorrow. I know it's just urine, weight, blood. But please say a prayer for me that they can hear a heart beat. I am going to ask about an u/s in the near future, but I don't think I get one until 20 weeks. :'(
 
Gemie - sent a request, I'm Chloe incase you were thinking I was a random lol
Please can you add me to the fb group x

Thanks for the info Loraloo. I'll pass it along.

Bubsmom, I still only wear nursing camis and dd is 9 months. I went to motherhood maternity to try to get a decent bra and bought one but it's awful. I fall right out of it. The clerk kept trying to convince me I'm a C cup when before I was pregnant I was a D and have only grown since then. I ended up buying the d but it's still not enough coverage imo. My boobs shouldn't fail out every time I bend over to pick up dd!
 
Regarding bras, I am wearing some sad, stretched out, now too big for me nursing bras (that were expensive!) but so far I have not gotten any bigger yet (which is weird since with my first I went up multiple sizes almost immediately!) I see no point in buying more right now since I will get bigger later, and plus I like underwire for now, which is a no no early on. I try to ignore my sad little boobs in my big bra! :haha:

Bubsmom, I still only wear nursing camis and dd is 9 months. I went to motherhood maternity to try to get a decent bra and bought one but it's awful. I fall right out of it. The clerk kept trying to convince me I'm a C cup when before I was pregnant I was a D and have only grown since then. I ended up buying the d but it's still not enough coverage imo.

i used to work at Motherhood and the way they teach the clerks to measure is always wrong. They are taught to measure the rib cage then add 5 inches then measure across the breast and the difference is the cup. If I did that even before pregnant I was a 34 and my ribs were measured at a 32.5 to 33 inches so if i followed it I would have been placed in a 38 and my cup was 35.5 inches so by motherhood I was a 38A but in reality I was a 34B. So I always asked the mom what she wore before pregnancy. Then got out a few different extenders. Every 2 sets of hooks is another size up in band width. I would have started you in an E cup to see how much room you had. There should be 2 finger widths in the cup in order to have correct coverage especially since when the milk is in the breast they are larger.
Sorry you had an incompetent clerk. Another thing you can do is go to Kohls if they have one near you. Their maternity section is cheaper than Motherhood, and here is a secret. They are manufactured by the same place and are actually part of Motherhood. Kohls has larger sizes in the cups and they have more coverage. Motherhood currently has sexier half-cup type styles because they are carrying Jessica Simpson line and for some odd reason the style is sexy and you can go out and party with the bra on and look cool!! BLAH!!! But, seriously Kohls is cheaper and they have a sale going on so their nursing and sleeping and sports maternity bras right now are $18 each or 2 for $25
 
since we're on the topic, this is my first preg...is it weird that my bbs have not gotten that much bigger, if at all? I'm only about 10 weeks. They have been "fuller" since about 4 weeks, but definitely haven't gone up any sizes or anything, and are less sore (but still a little). It seems like so many people are busting out already, haha. I was small to begin with (barely 34B, sometimes wear 34 or 36A--I've never been properly fit heh).
