Anyone else feel like their boobs are going to suffocate them? Especially while laying down!?!? I hate them!

Re: Death by boob suffocation
YES! and i don't even have to be laying down to have this worry. in fact, upright may be wose. at least when i'm laying down i can tie them in a bow and throw them over my shoulder.
don't even get me talking about how much i worry i will suffocate lulabelle while breastfeeding. that's a lotta' boob for a lil' babe:
OUCHIE!

I agree. I was over them before I even got pregnant! Now its just plain ridiculous. My back hurts and they are just in the way all the time.
OMG - your subject line is SO funny!
I find mine irritating but not suffocating, except when they are unleashed in the shower, which is the only time I am braless these days, and then I feel like they weigh 10 lbs each and they are just completely in the way. I find them icky - I cannot imagine that people get implants to get even BIGGER than I am - UGH!
I am a new mom to our 4 week old daughter and i just make sure i leave space for my baby girl to breathe while feeding, no biggie. Before pregnancy i was quite big anyway in this dept, but now that i'm only slightly bigger since lactating i can truly appreciate why GOD gave me these things in the first place. So I have to say my self body loathing is significantly reduced these days. Not to mention that they are more sexual while lactating than before it. Maybe tmi, but there you go. Good luck in your pregnancy.

LOL! I must admint...when I first read this, I read "bf" as boyfriend, not as breastfeeding. Oh, that made my morning!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
hahaha SAME HERE!
Also, non-first-timers.. uhmn.. when do they stop growing? Do they grow throughout the pregnancy? Beyond it?! And do you always go back to your pre-pregnancy size?
& Can anyone tell me what DD and DH means? I'm a newbie, and I can't seem to figure it out.
Same here. I was a D before getting pregnant, and didn't grow any bigger while pregnant or post-delivery.
I've also been surprised by how little support I need these days. Most of the time I just wear a loose-fitting cami. That means more air on the nipples and keeping the nips dry means no chapping. Yes, my breasts sag somewhat, but they feel more comfortable swinging free than they do squeezed into a nursing bra and right now that's all I really care about.
I am kinda jealous I don't have that problem!! LOL
LOL, I read it the same way! Man do I miss caffeine!!

Just like everything else in pregnancy, every body is different! However mine with both my son, and with my current pregnancy grew throughout pregnancy, and then after I had my son, they really blossomed! I was busting out of my 38D! (and I started as a 36
, however, I couldn't breastfeed, so they deflated very quckly! And as for the DD and DH, you got me too. I'm new to the Bump. So I'm with you on the confusion! 
Well, this is my first-time pregnancy. And I can tell you that they grew like wildfire during month 2-3 & I went from a 38C to a 40D. When I was pretty sure they were done growing, I went out and bought 3-4 new bras. While they were growing, I found the miracle of non-underwire Vogue sports bras. Not incredibly supportive, but my breasts didn't feel so constricted & achy. They've been growing very slightly since then, and are now starting to "blossom" like mad again. Next bra purchase will be nursing bras I think.
As for the DD & DH thing. I dunno if there's a translation of abbreviations anywhere on these blogs, but from what I can gather DD = Dear Daughter, and DH = Dear Husband.
I could be wrong. I've barely been on these blogs myself.
I think you can safely say they are done growing AFTER the first real milk comes in. I thought I had to be done growing by the time I was nine months, right? Well when the milk comes in and you look like Dolly Parton, it can be a rude awakening! After the engorgement (sp?) goes down though, I think the worst is over
NO you do not always go back to pre-pregnancy size either. Pre pregnancy I was a C cup and here I am on my 4th baby sporting a DD. After the first though, I hear they don't grow as much, if at all in subsequent pregnancies. I hope that is true this time around!
DD= Dear Daughter OR Due Date DH= Dear Husband DS= Dear Son
DD = Dear Daughter
DH = Dear Husband
I cannot wait to add a baby ticker to my profile!!! TTC this coming Spring 2011, hoping for 2012 baby!!Oh I am right there with you. I had big boobs before I gotpregnant now they're effing ginormous! I'm so over it! None of my bras fitright (even my brand new ones that are the right size) and no matter what shirtI wear I get self conscious cuz I feel like my boobs are hanging out like I'msome kind of porn star!

I have read about this actually happening, but only if you fall asleep while nursing and are in a bad position. It was fairly common in the days when women used wet nurses to nurse their babies instead of doing it themselves. It seems to be pretty rare these days.
I am 28 weeks and have already gone from a 34/36 D to a 38 E!!! and I'm only 4'10"! DH is pretty happy... Pam Anderson is his dream woman, so... I don't have to compete with her breasts for attention now! LOL I bought 2 nursing bras already and the stores around here don't even carry sizes bigger than E cups. Lordy, what am I going to do when my milk comes in?!! Also my nipples have been behaving oddly for months- the aureolas tighten/harden in spots giving a wrinkled lopsidded appearance, big tracks (ducts?) appear in popped up in the skin around them, colostreum has leaked a little (leaving a kindof gross waxy substance), and they went from palest pink (almost impossible to see the aureola) to brown! DH is utterly fascinated by all this of course and keeps calling me an alien & waiting for DD to pop out of my midsectionlike the movie! LOL nice.
Definitely! I hate the big boob thing too. Guess it would be OK if I was just a B or C cup before pregnancy, but I was a 34DD. I feel I have reached porn star status! Not to mention the trouble finding bras! I have had to order nursing bras and can only find them online. Furthermore, when you get this big, the bras are sooooo ugly. All beige and they look like surgical garmets due to the engineering involved. Totally NOT sexy. THey look like grandma bras!
If anyone has any suggestions for cute nursing bras in size 34 or 36 J-K, let me know please!!!!
I have one bra on order from Her Room that might actually be cute, but I am not holding my breath.
Cant wait to have my "little 34DD's" back. Worried they will not be where I left them.
first of all lol.... secondly I have always been a member of the ibtc (itty bitty titty club) so i am loving the bigger size so is my dh i actually have the need to wear a bra now so im happy... yes i know im silly but this is revenge for all you normally big chested women lol... now us smaller ones get to have cleavage and stuff...
muahaha
For everyone else out there who doesn't know the acronyms...here's a link to a whole bunch of them for your future reference
