I am not as worried about my weight gain anymore.
While the great majority of women I know seem to have lost weight in their first trimesters (which I find discouraging because that makes me feel like a fatty in comparison), I have come to realize that not every woman handles pregnancy the same way.
Some women just gain more in the beginning than at the end. There are many sources that say most women who gain a lot of weight in their first trimester tend to plateau in their second semesters (and my weight has certainly plateaued in the past few weeks). And as long as you’re not stuffing your face with KFC (did anyone else hear about their new Bacon Sandwich on Fried Chicken? I feel my blood clotting just thinking about it!) and sitting on your ass all day, it all evens out at the end.
And personally, I would rather slowly gain weight from the beginning rather than all at the end, which makes you more susceptible to stretch marks.
Last night, I got further affirmation that the majority of my weight gain is in my boobs (breast enlargement usually doesn’t happen until later for most women too).
Because I got out the measuring tape…
And discovered that I have gained 4 inches in my chest.
I was a 36B/34C (depending on the brand) before pregnancy.
And according to the tape measure, I am now a 36DD.
I now officially have porn star boobs.
LOL. Welcome to my world. Le Mystere and Chantelle are both very comfortable bras for 36DD…if you don’t go heavy on the support, you’ll notice how sore they get.
Enjoy them while they last! =]
I saw this and thought of you!
