oh my boobage.

So I got a new 36C bra in December right before my bfp. Fit *perfectly*. Of course they then got a bit snug, and now at 14w, they give me a SERIOUS case of quad boob and an angry red diagonal line where the edge of the cup sits. So back to kohls I go to grab a 36D. Luckily I decided to try it on just in case. Yeah, no. Not enough. Since kohls doesn't carry dd/e, I decided to go for 38D, figuring that would be plenty big enough even if it wasn't the 100% proper fit. Yeah, no again. And that's the biggest bras kohls carries in store. WAHHHHH. I need to do a legit measurement, clearly. I was really hoping to get a quick fix to get these girlies some breathing room, but no such luck. Sports bras it is, ladies!

ugh - I know the feeling! I spent a ridiculous amount of money on GOOD bras last year ... When I measured myself last year I was a 34DD / 32DDD - and they are causing red marks now . I don't want to spend a zillion dollars on new bras, but dang it I want to be comfy.

Girl. I feel ya.

34DD normally. But now I'm 36DDD! at twelve damn weeks. Ugh!

Exactly. I was hoping to get my usual $20 special that I adore and be done with it, at least until after I have the kid and my milk comes in. Ugh. I'm too disheartened to even measure tonight. Lol

Ugh. I know I should be thankful that I'm small enough (well, smallish and large band size) that I can normally shop at kohls, rather than bitching that I have to go elsewhere now that I'm pg. But I really just wanted some boob relief, darnit. Lol

Yup, I went from 34D to 36DDD by about 11 weeks (and haven't grown since).  I had good luck at Nordstrom Rack, if you have one near you.  They have big sizes in the store.  I got several nicer bras (Wacoal, etc.) in the $20-30 range.

Yeah, I hear ya. My boobs are out of control, too. Currently wearing a 34HH.  :? I'm very worried about how much more they're going to grow!

Man, and I all like WTF that I'm in a 34 B right now. Lol. Usually a 32 A! I wonder if I'll ever make it to a C by time im done?

I have to be up in the Chicago area soon-ish - I'm going to build in a trip to Nordstrom Rack...

Odonata, pick your moment, dear. This isn't really the thread to be complaining about your small size.

[centralsquare]

pixiedust, from your lips to god's ears, as they say! I'm hopeful mine will stick where they are, b/c frankly, they hurt so much right now, and my clothes don't fit, and I just can.not.fathom something bigger. CAN.NOT.

What makes you think I was complaining about my "small size"?  

I'm just comparing how I'm over here being WOWED by how "big" my A's got but it's nothing in comparison to those on the higher end!

I was a 40D and now I'm a 42E. I exploded by week 10. I'm scared once the baby comes & my milk comes in. I'm going to look like a porn star lol
