My poor boobs.
Yep, I said boobs.
Mine are HUGE. I'm getting stretch marks on my boobs.
Stretch marks do fade away eventually right?
I hope so.
I paid too much for my boobs to have stretch marks.
$3,795.00 to be exact. For the most perfect perky bouncy 34C breasts.
Course if I'd known then that having twins would double their size for free...I might have done this earlier.
Then again, I wasn't ready in 2002.
Am I ready now?
Some days I think yes, other days I wanna run for the hills.
Doesn't every woman go through this?
I sure hope so.

I sympathize with you about the discomfort caused by a sudden enlargement in the "upper frontals." With my first pregnancy, I went from a 30AA to a 36C overnight. I was bumping into things because I wasn't aware of how much they stuck out. I felt like my boobs were arriving in the room 10 minutes before I was. ;)
As for the stretchmarks, they do turn silvery with time but never go completely away. And the perkiness may droop somewhat after delivery. The main thing is to wear a supportive bra and try not to gain excessive weight. It's really hard to lose the extra pounds if you eat like a mad woman.
Ah... I see you've been visited by the boobie fairy... :-)
Pregnancy is NO JOKE. I hope you have a decent time at it. That's as much as I will tell you at this point -- unless you ask!
No joke is right...it's kicking my butt! Tell away!
Well, there's the weight issue. If you are like me, it's really hard to separate between the "I'm gaining weight because I'm pregnant," and the "holy SHIT, I'm fat as hell!"
There's the time (and you'll see what I mean when you're closer to delivery) when you look in the mirror and the point of your belly button and the back of your butt is like, three feet? It's not easy to see; it's not easy to comprehend.
You're rewarded with labor. NOT FUN. Take the drugs. Seriously. I have done it once naturally, once with minimal drugs, and once with the epidural. I don't see the medal hanging in my livingroom giving me *anything* for standing the nightmare of natural birth,and no one really cares if you do go through it naturally....
After birth, you do not go back to normal for a LOOOONG time. It's a thing that you hope for, but rarely happens. I didn't feel 'right' for a year after my first one. Tampons fell out. And my hips hurt - and STILL do.
Losing the weight never seems as easy as before. I remember just not eating for a couple days and losing weight.... Not after kids. I successfully gained 10 pounds after each child, and it didn't matter how much I starved/exercised.... The numbers NEVER went back down.
Breast feeding? Holy shit. Awful. And I tried. But my boobs didn't want to let down. I had huge, amazing boobs that I hoped would nourish my kids.... And the harder they sucked, the less the milk showed. I felt like a failure for raising my babies on Similac with Iron.
And after you have the baby, your hormones are freaking out. You cry. You feel like a terrible mother -- FROM THE GITGO.
Anyhow, I could go on and on, but that's good for now -- and this might not happen to you AT ALL!?!??! For some women, it's no issue.
For me? UGH. The last time, my Dr. got me on anti-anxiety drugs (which sucked, too) but it stopped me from panicking about going back to work....
It's no joke.
