It was time
to get a new bra. These breasts of mine
grew considerably at about six weeks, but I've been putting of the inevitable
shopping excursion because I wanted to see if they would get bigger still! However, I couldn't squeeze myself into any
of my bathing suits - not even the expensive brand new ones from Hawaii that I
bought at Christmas - and I felt like I was flashing too much skin at the beach
this past week. My parents live on a
lake - a busy lake - and I didn't want to embarrass myself or my family...it
was TIME for a shopping trip.
I know the
importance of a good bra fitting - I've been well endowed since the age of 10 -
and so my mother and I headed into the best lingerie boutique in the Lower
Mainland: Forever Yours in Langley. Ladies, if you're BC women, it's worth the
trip! Diane and Jessica were extremely
helpful. Of course, this meant that at
one point there were four of us in my change room as straps were adjusted and
room (or lack there of) was assessed - a proper bra fitting does not allow for
shyness! I was pleased to know that I
haven't increased too much in band size.
However, my "I" cups (yes, you read that correctly) were now
solid "J" cups. I had
suspected as much, but it's still disconcerting to see that size!
Then Diane
(the owner/manager) gave me some wonderful advice, and this isn't anything I've
seen on any of the pregnancy or mother discussion boards. She told me that as my uterus grew with the
baby, my rib cage would also expand.
This will obviously mean that I will need a larger bra soon. And, as my pregnancy progresses, my breasts
will begin to change shape as well as size.
So, on her advice, I got a bra that was an entire size larger. I have room to grow and PLENTY of support! I checked, and they carry nursing bras in
these larger sizes (all the way to "L" cups) and even have a style
that has adjustable cup sizes for before feeding and after feeding. I'll get fitted for that bra in January.
The next
issue was bathing suits. I eventually
found one suit (bought two of them) at a store called Wishes in White
Rock. The store claims to carry bathing
suits from size 3 to 48, but they had only 5 styles in my size (a 26 to allow
for those humongous boobs!) and nothing larger.
The suits I purchased will last for the next few weeks - at least I'm
"decent" again - but now that I know my NEW bra size, I'll go
shopping online.
Ladies, my
advice to you is to get a good bra fitting.
Find a reputable shop with a solid reputation - the fitting is
free! Of course, if you're above a
D-cup, the bras themselves become pricey, but I'm used to that after two
decades! LOL!
