What on earth has happened to my goddamn boobs?

At 36 weeks I bought nursing bras, anyway I tried one on again today and size wise I may as well have been wearing a cotton wool pad on eath nipple....what happened?!

I have suddenly gone all Jordan-esque tit-tastic

bumperlicious · 07/06/2007 20:18

Bet DH is happy TA! (That's TA for tits and arse!)

trendaverter · 07/06/2007 20:37

PMSL
I didn't think of that
He might be pleased if I let him anywhere near me!

hmmm if only men could get pregnant, be riddled with hormones and get a boost in size....

evening all,
CONGRATULATIONS BROWNSUGAR - LOVELY NEWS - beautiful baby xx
what interesting families you have
i saw MW today and am now booked in for induction on Wed so if nothing happens before then at least i'll have my baby this time next week
right now my baby is sitting so high that i actually think that it is trying to get out my mouth instead of the usual exit - i can hardly breathe in at the mo
it's been a lovely day here today and so i've walked constantly to try to get things moving - will be having another dose of prostaglandins later as well think DH secretly delighted this baby is late!!!

lilKelBel · 07/06/2007 21:00

LOL Will & Grace ... not far from the truth actually ;-) though of course I like to pretend it was more Sex and the City!

don't even get me started on families. my MIL has been here for 2 weeks and I could go on for months about how my head is done in from guessing why she disapproves of everything -

ok 9pm, bedtime. looking forward to more babies popping in the night!!

trendaverter · 07/06/2007 21:01

Yep, it's that time again, goodnight all, sending those that are ready labour vibes and sending those that aren't good sleep vibes!

FANTASTIC NEWS BROWNSUGAR! WELL DONE!

Great news about your date too Derlor, fingers crossed for you!

DesperateDerlor · 07/06/2007 21:35

Hi DG, certainly was frustrating however, just have to get on with it - it wouldn't be so bad if i wasn't being constantly bombarded with calls and texts asking me if there is any news!!!!! - thinking of unplugging the phone and switching the mobile off, we'll see what tomorrow brings with that - how are things going with you?

DesperateDerlor · 07/06/2007 21:36

Hi SFL, how you doing????

riabutterflew · 07/06/2007 21:57

I got 44%.

Aren't families just fab? (Mine is oh-so-normal, apart from the fact my Dad never answers back and my mum cleans things a lot! And I got both those personality traits. Lucky me. They also live just round the corner and are fab - most of the time. I am very lucky (but wouldn't have said that when I was 15!))

bumper, just ignore me if this is too nosey, but how did you find it when your mum first said she was gay? I have a friend who has just swapped her lifestyle (don't want to give too much away as I don't want to accidentally "out" her). I was the first person she told I think and I have been fairly ok with it all (her DH wasn't a friend or anything) but I have started feeling a bit odd about it this last week. I am hoping it's because I am PG and not cos I'm underlyingly homophobic.

Anyone know if crawling around on the floor picking up leo is a labour-inducin pasttime? Have already inadvertantly eaten fresh chilli as I'm stupid and put it in the pasta without it occuring to be it was a)spicy b)what spicy food is meant to do.

DesperateDerlor · 07/06/2007 21:58

Oh well - looks like i've joined in too late tonight so i'm off to prepare for my prostaglandin filled evening - first some pineapple....
back tomorrow girls sleep well x

DesperateDerlor · 07/06/2007 22:02

Hi Ria, i think crawling around the floor picking up lego is similar to scrubbing the floor so people always suggest that - also i was wondering about how spicy food works today as well?!?!?!

riabutterflew · 07/06/2007 22:17

I don't really want anything to happen until the morning. Hoping things kick off for you soon though derlor, and hopefully it'll be really easy as you've done half of it already?

Don't actually know if I can get on the floor to pick up the toys, but I have to so there is a clear path for the MW when she comes to check my BP tomorrow!

riabutterflew · 07/06/2007 22:20

The only thing the chilli seems to have done is make me feel a bit waffy in my head and eyes and the rest of me feels particularly ill! Also the LO doesn't feel that impressed either (great - another child who hates my cooking!)

bumperlicious · 07/06/2007 22:25

Ria, I think it was an unusual situation with my mum in that although I wouldn't have guessed, I also wasn't surprised, it was kind of a case of "ok, what's she going to do next" and she "came out" when I was 19, so I really wasn't bothered about it. Also, I don't think about the physical implications of it as really no-one wants to think about their parents having sex gay or straight!

But as for you and your friend. Firstly it's difficult to be objective about anything when you are pg isn't it! I probably wouldn't use your feelings at the moment as any kind of barometer of how you really feel!

Secondly, I don't think it is unusual to feel a bit funny about it. I am sure you are not homophobic, it just adds a new dynamic to your relationship. I guess you have to think about what it is that makes you feel funny. Are you worried that she might come onto you (which is a common but usually unfounded worry)? Or is it that she has changed her lifestyle, and it's not fitting into the perfect picture that most of us imagine? I don't know. But it's pretty normal, and how you deal with it would depend on the type of relationship you have with her. She obviously trusts you to have told, and you don't want to upset her by saying something that might offend her. On the other hand (and this is exactly the sort of thing my mum would say) if you are feeling funny about it for whatever reason it will be "out there" and she will probably pick up on it, so some times it's better to deal with any issues and you will probably feel better by discussing them and understanding her choices better.

Sorry you probably didn't want a session of psychoanalysis - and really, I don't have any answers just my own experience and my psychology MSc which qualifies me for nothing!! But if you need to talk about it some more I am happy to!

riabutterflew · 07/06/2007 22:59

Thanks for that bumper. I think it's having met her new friends that made me feel funny, as they have been together a long time and are openly "out" and I just felt that they were maybe putting pressure on her to be something she isn't quite ready to be (they were also talking about someone else and said something along the lines of "are you sure she's straight?". I know gay people have put up with that kind of prejudice forever, but it was a bit off-putting, as though I'm lesser for being married. I'm just over-sensitive I think), also her new partner hasn't fully committed yet as she is still living within her previous relationship, and my friend is finding that frustrating as her marriage just ceased to be with the revelation.
Thanks for listening though, and I might pick your brains in the future!

Must go as Jack and Sarah is on and I watch this every time I'm pregnant (have also missed the bit where she dies so I can enjoy it too!)

Night all.
