to hold on to my boobs when I run upstairs?

I don't think I am, my post pregnancy and breast feeding boobs just need a bit of extra support sometimes, but I am very embarrassed that my (elderly male) neighbour just saw me do this.

hey Thingie, it's OK, I won't stalk you really.

(See? I've already forgotten your name)

cadelaide: Damn! I knew some meddling fool would read it sooner or later...

Re: Books. Still mucking about with them as I have been since 1985.

Incidentally, I don't really do what I said. I was joking. sorry.

Yep me too!! I do it going up the stairs but not down them, weird! I have to remember NOT to do it in public though, once did it in the patio cafe area at Wisley while running after my v active DS1 , ooopps.

Recently went on nephews trampoline and alternated between boob-holding and leg crossing to avoid wetting myself.

Zippidy · 26/05/2008 21:24

Well, this cheered me up! My dh always takes the piss out of my 'down the stairs boob holding run' (Obviously I do this only at home!). Nice to know am not alone!

MaeWest - I just miss the bus rather than have the bus driver laughing at my bouncing boobs (not PC but wish I could say ogling,but after 2 kids not a chance!!)

i did a spinning class at the gym once, without a sprots bra. and baing rather large of norkage.
also, forgot to put my glasses on, and forgot hairband, i have long hair, and lots of it.
so there i was, cycling away, boobs flopping about every which way.up down, sideways, dripping sweat off my nose, glasses on floor. hair plastered everywhere, grabbing hold of boobs coz the flopping around getting painful. the instructor thought i was having a heart attack.

I tend to take a fencers stance whereby I use one arm to shelf the tits and the other to try and tame the audibly slapping bum-cheeks. In a debonair fashion.

beansmum · 26/05/2008 22:40

and I really thought I was going to be the only one to admit to this

YANBU if it's your own norks.

YABU if it's someone else's.

GrimmaTheNome · 26/05/2008 22:48

Heck yes, when I'm inadequately supported.

I've recently taken to wearing sports bras all the time (well, not at night!)... DD is having a scooting craze and I keep finding myself having to run as we go to the playground. I can't hold onto boobs and dog lead at the same time.

beansmum · 26/05/2008 22:50

When running with the dog I hold my elbows really high and push them together, seems to work.

Half your luck for having something to swing - what I want to know is AIBU for being annoyed with my 16mo ds for hiding one of my chicken fillets? Isn't losing my boobs to bfing enough - now I've lost my chicken fillets too?

solo · 27/05/2008 02:38

LOL!@ Stitch and Bluewolf(boobs awobbling as I chuckle!)

mananny · 27/05/2008 03:04

I have to hold mine firmly, as they could cause harm to an innocent bystander. And here in America I could be sued for that

Tutter · 27/05/2008 05:44

barcodezebra, might i have been reading you this weekend?

Tutter · 27/05/2008 05:47

ha yes i've just read something that confirms it

ILovePudding · 27/05/2008 06:37

maybe the old man thought you were unreasonable for not letting him hold your boobs when you ran up the stairs

cadelaide · 27/05/2008 10:54

Oh Tutter, you old sleuth you.

bandgeek · 27/05/2008 10:56

I do this too

BarcodeZebra · 27/05/2008 20:53

I dunno Tutter, what were you reading?

I do this too. I also hold onto them in the shower (not sure where I think they would go if I let go....)
