the alien in me....

in 1st Trimester
I am sorry I have to have a little fun with this pregnancy.  

So I am going on we think 5 weeks...and its already a pita.  I feel like I am always eating.  Now I eat crackers for when I don't feel well to keep my stomach ok but other than that I feel like I need to eat.  I can only imagine my food bill will be going up soon.  Let alone I think I finally hit the point of a smell my that makes me sick.  My husband came back from a run and sat next to me talking about something and I felt like i needed to throw up.  Not a good feeling which most times it hasn't been as bad till than.

Last my boobs are killing me.  Is it normal to need to buy new bras within the first few weeks because you can't wear your normal ones as is?  If so where do I go?  I feel like target or kohls won't really be able to help me.  I live kind of in the middle of no where.

    I bought some sleep nursing bras at Motherhood, they have little support but are so comfy! I wear tank tops with built in bras also. However, there are days when you need a real bra. Extenders in the back help give a little extra room.

    I bought new bras last week (at 4wks). I just couldn't stand wearing my non-breathable ones anymore and needed something a little looser...

    Target and kohls are probably where you should go for in between bras. They're cheap and comfy. Everywhere else (for the most part) is more expensive. I see no point in buying expensive bras that may only fit for a few weeks.

    I bought new bras at eight weeks and already outgrew them. The extenders do help and you can get them at Target.

    First semester is about survival. Eat whatever you can stomach and don't worry about weight gain. Your metabolism goes up so it's normal to want to eat more.

    Why can't you buy bras at target? Cheap ones are perfect for the inbetween time. They also make bra strap extenders.
    Cause I don't know any better.  This is my first kid and not really the most in-tune with things.  I don't have many people to talk about all this with since we are waiting to tell people and don't have  friends where i live.  :-/
