Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

Oh how fun Girly! Mine didn't leak at all with my son and still haven't yet with this one.
 
...mine have leaked since 14 weeks :-( I'm a freak of nature! Thankfully, the sore/itchiness wore off a week or so after and they feel perfectly normal now. However, the past few days, my right one has become a lot more uhh...active?
 
It is odd that they would leak so early, but it does happen occasionally apparently. I've had very few breast changes this pregnancy (nipples are darker than they were now though, sorry if TMI) and they were only sore for the week before and after I found out that I was pregnant. I keep wondering if they'll change significantly in August or September.
 
I've already gone up 2 bra sizes so I guess I should've expected it at some point. Lol. It really goes to show everyone's pregnancy is different. I was really hoping I wouldn't leak until the end. May have to run get those breast pads soon!

Another thing that surprised me, I felt Braxton hicks for the first time the other night. Any of you other first timers felt them yet? Felt quite strange, but I haven't felt any since.
 
Mine have been leaking from an early stage too but not noticeably. I've gone up from a 32D to a 36E! Huge boobies, although unfortunately they now have stretch marks :( DH calls them my udders!

Yep had BH a couple of weeks ago for the first time, and then again a couple of days ago. They are horrible! Whoever said they don't hurt, lied. It's not unbearable pain, but the first time it happened it was really worrying as I didn't know what they were and everywhere I read said they aren't painful. I've found drinking a big glass of water and lying on my left side for 20 mins/half an hour really helped.

Can not wait for October and to reclaim my body!!

Can I ask your ladies opinions the name we are thinking? We decided ages ago on Dylan for a first name, but middle name has been tricky. We were listening to Johnny Cash the other night and Dylan started kicking away like made. Since then every time we put it on he goes crazy so we are now thinking middle name of Cash. What do you think, Dylan Cash? I don't want something too modern that in years to come we might think why did we pick that, but it just seems to go, and I love that he's basically chosen it himself!
 
Broody, I love the name Dylan Cash! It's also a great way the name was chosen. We are having the hardest time with a name. I'm pretty sure we will have a few to decide from and wait until she's born. Grace will be the middle name. I know it's popular, but it's my grandmother's name. One option is Stella Grace, which combines both of my grandmother's first names. They are both still with us and would be so touched.

I haven't leaked, yet but there has been some dried substance on the nipples and my nipples have gotten gigantic! I have also went up a bra size and think I may have to again as the new bras are now uncomfortable.

I'm not sure if I've gotten BH. There has been a couple times when my whole stomach gets hard, but I wasn't sure if it was from her moving around or not.
 
With Sophie I started leaking in the third trimester, have yet to start leaking with this one though. For a second when I was on a plane this week I thought they were going to start but if they did leak it was only a tiny amount. It can be totally normal though.

Dylan Cash is a great name... I met a kid with Cash as a first name after Johnny but I wasn't wild about that. I think it makes a great middle name though. (His baby brother was named Thor, he was born the year the Thor movie came out.)
 
I love the name!!! :)

I wish i had some breast changes with this one...... i have had NOTHING.... no pain/growth at all. I have small breast to begin with so with Mason it was nice when they grew :) .. i never had leaking with him either thou.... I am thinking that i never got breast changes because I stopped Breastfeeding my son on the day i got a BFP with this one.... i guess my hormones were just out of wack :shrug:
 
I really like Dylan Cash and Stella Grace, they're both very nice names.

Personally I wish mine would either get slightly bigger or slightly smaller as I'm between sizes right now. A D cup is too small while a DD is too big. Trying to find bras that fit has always been a nightmare. Victoria's Secret was the only place that had bras that fit me properly, possibly because all of their sizes run slightly small to make you feel like you have bigger boobs (I was wearing their size DD before I got pregnant). I don't feeling like shelling out $60 for a new band size though. I'm still measuring at a 34 band, but I've found that it feels too tight so I went up to a 36 band.
 
I love the names that both of you have suggested.

My boobs hurt like hell after ovilation forward about a month or more. Before I got my bfp that was one of my first signs and that my nipples changed. The started getting bigger harder and darker. My nipples are normally small and soft. The vains started showing up not to long after the bfp and before I knew It I had gone up a size. The boobs have stayed about the same since but the nipples have gotten bigger and so have the areolas as well as darker. I also seem to have a dried funky like substance on the nipples daily. No real sure what it is.
 
Broodymrs I really like Dylan Cash. I'm quite partial to Cash as we are using it for our middle name after my great grandfather. However, he is from Austria and it's spelled with a K there (Kash) so that's how we will be spelling it. Its been really important to my dad and grandma that we stay true to the spelling.

Maze my husband's friend just had a boy last week and named him Thor :huh: To each their own I guess.

Sbmack I also really like Stella Grace. Girls names were so hard for us when we didn't know what we were having yet.

Girly I haven't had any leaking yet but I've gone from a 32B to a 34 C. I am kind of happy about that :winkwink:
 
I leaked once about a month ago-I was sleeping and is was on my shirt when I woke up. I haven't had any since though. I also have dry and itchy nipples and my boobs have grown about 2 cup sizes. Also the outter nipple part is way darker and rough or lumpy feeling (tmi sorry!). I hear once your milk comes in you will grow a lot almost over night...lovely. lol
 
The crusties are colostrum! I've heard not to mess with any crust/plugs because they're plugging your ducts for a reason.

My boobs haven't grown much, but they were huge to start with. 34F, now I'm a 34G, so really only one cupsize. I normally try to squeeze the girls into a 42D, and it works for the most part. Victoria's Secret tried putting me into a 38D and I laughed in their face and literally showed them what one looks like on me. I think that lady saw more rogue tit then than she has ever seen in her life!

I've been having braxton hicks for the past couple of weeks. They don't hurt me at all, but they definitely tell me to slow the heck down, as I only get them after bending/lifting or getting up too fast.
 
I didn't leak at all in my first pregnancy but I've just looked down and seen quite abit of leaking through my top on the left side :dohh:

Lets hope I have some breast pads left over from feeding DD or I'll be stuffing tissue into my bra for work tomorrow!! :haha:
 
Girlandboots i have been getting some really strong braxton hicks contractions for about a month now awell... i dont remember them ever being this strong with my son
 
I try not to disturb the crusties but they always seem to stick well to my bra. Meaning that when I get undressed for bed, I end up leaking for most of the night. I havent leaked at all at work yet. Still think I'll pick up some breast pads just in case.

My braxton hicks haven't been painful. They just feel strange. Like my tummy feels like its stretched to its limit and I can't imagine my skin and uterus having any stretch left to allow baby to continue growing. If that makes sense?
 
Not Braxton hicks for me tvleast I don't think so. I have been removing the gunky stuff from my nipples though. It's not exactly crusty.
 
I don't know if I've been having BH contractions, but my stomach does feel like it's being really stretched sometimes and it feels sore when I get out of bed or if I get up from sitting in certain positions for certain periods of time. It also feels hard sometimes.
 
I really like Dylan Cash and Stella Grace. We would love to use Grace or Gracie, but my sil just had a gril and her middle name is Grace. My boobs hurt really bad from ovulation. The soreness of the whole boob has went down, but my nipples are still very sore when squeezed or pulled. They haven't gotten bigger luckily, but they seem squishier and shaped a bit different. Also my nipples and areolas (am I spelling that right:dohh:) and bigger and darker and my nipples seem to always be extended, even though not hard.
