Last week I was worried about 'lack of symptoms.' It turns out I needn't have worried too much.
The peeing has begun. There's nothing quite so confusing as having to go pee less than an hour from the last time you did and having there only be a piddling amount; but what relief. Also, the reflux/heartburn is quite pronounced in the evening.
On Sunday we got home from new lease shopping (very disappointing day, Toy.ota doesn't really want to lease cars it seems, at least judging by the prices...) when I took my bra off I was not a happy camper. The sides of my breasts were so sore, I could hardly walk with any speed. Lest you think I was bra-less, I wasn't, but my bralette, which has seen me through 2 IVF cycles, is sorely lacking the structure needed to support these mighty bosoms. So I spent some times frantically searching the Internet and came up with this one. I ordered it and it's little sister (I can't quite believe this whole G-cup thing, honestly!)
I did a little frantic shopping, came up with a couple of shirts, ordered a denim skirt from Old N.avy and a couple of t-shirts from Gap, and I got two Bella bands. I'm hoping this will get me through until I'm dressing the bump, not the bloat.
***Bella band is not my favortite thing--even though I got the right size, even rolled down, it hits me in the diaphram (I'm short waisted). The Bell.a Mater.na bra was not a hit. The straps were set really wide, and I had to have them so short they were digging in to my shoulders. It is odd to me that a 34 band size would have shoulders that befit a linebacker. I am a 34G cup, not a 40 G! The search continues.
