2nd Trimester

Ugly boobs :...(

Anyone else have ugly boobs?  Mine have gotten enormous, and have dark blue squiggly lines all over them from my veins swelling I guess.  They look like someone used them as a punching bag!  Is it normal to have veins that dark this early on in pregnancy?  I am assuming it's just my milk ducts preparing for breastfeeding, but I am praying they someday go back to their normal color and size...  I can't even bear to look at them it's so bad.  I feel like a mamaw:(

Re: Ugly boobs :...(

  • Lol, you are not alone, I feel like a mamaw, too!  I am especially fond of the 'flying saucer' nipples.  These things take up major surface area...it's just creepy.  I want to go back to normal in the worst way.

  • Ugh, I can't stand mine either. Enormous, uncomfortable, I HAVE to wear a bra at all times or they feel floppy and gross...they make me feel gross :( I really hope eventually, one day, they go back to looking somewhat normal.

  • LOL...mine are like this too with the blue lines and my nipples have gotten dark. My DH loves them though since they are so big right now and I am usually a small B. He makes me feel better about myself but I try not to stare in the mirror for too long.

  • I hear ya with the veins.  Its pretty weird, but all part of the process.  Got to make those milk ducts.  I have 1/2 inch veins running under each boob, its pretty gross.  Yes, 1/2 inch!!!

  • Even your boobs get bigger faster the second time around.  At only 13 weeks mine are gross.  I currently refuse to take my cami off turning sexy time because I'm distracted by how unattractive they are.  He says I'm ridiculous.  It takes a little while after birth but they do go back to their former shape (give or take) and color.  The road map of veins recedes.  I lost a tiny bit of elasticity but not bad.
  • i HATE my areolas!!! they are supper dark.. and HUGE! they look like coasters.. lol... my nips are still the same.. though they itch.. a lot..

  • This is one thing that is causing me issues for sure.  They are HUUGE and HEAVY.  I feel like a milking cow or something.  I can't wait for these suckers to go back to some semblance of normal, if that's possible.  At first DH thought they were awesome, but they keep growing and he says they feel different, like they are "full of liquid or something."  So now I think he's kind of grossed out by them, but he won't say as much.  And I keep outgrowing bras, which is just annoying since I hate shopping for bras and I hate spending $ on something that I won't be wearing for long!

  • I know how you feel, I bought my first maternity bra yesterday.  Fun, fun experience.  I hate bra shopping to begin with.  I measured in at a 40E, lovely!!  I am usually a larger C.  I wonder what size I will be wearing when this little girl is born.  I probably won't be able to buy a bra at a regular store.  :(
  • totally normal unfortunately - they turn into these odd freakish looking things, dont they?! But they will go back. The veins will fade, the nipples will shrink & they will resemble the boobs you had pre-pg. Until after your 2nd of course - then they'll be jacked and even you wont recognize them .... Im on #3 and saving up for new ones that dont hang by my belly button.?

    LOL...me too

  • I feel your pain! My boobs got huge but also have blue lines all over them like a road map. My areolas are big and dark now, and I have noticed little stretch marks forming on the bottom part of my boobs. It's very upsetting! lol. I'm sure they will never look the same again, but I really hope they get better than this after the baby is born.
