We are so totally individual! I wouldn't worry too much unless your doctor says you have reason to worry. Is he/she OK with your deficit? That seems like quite a large deficit even for the early stages of pregnancy. I am struggling with food aversions and a very compressed stomach. I can't eat a full meal usually, I end up…

I am having some major food aversions still. I'm just short of 17 weeks and I can't do meat really at all. The smell of a cooking steak makes me run for the bathroom. I can do some fish and breakfast meats. Bacon really loves me. :) I'm surviving on fruits and veggies, a lot of potatoes. I had a check up today. My OB is…

So how much is everyone feeling earlier in the 2nd trimester? My mom thinks they will redate me to further along because I'm feeling some distinct baby movements. It started as bubbles, but this morning my DH felt what felt to him like distinct kick/punch movements. I'm sitting at 16w1d. It was enough to wake me from a…

I have them. I am not here for weight loss, I'm here for other health reasons. I weigh the same now as I did when I got them. I've had them for over 3 years now and it is the best thing that I have done for myself.

I have them and love them. Best thing I have done for myself. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and they have not had any impact on the changes to my natural breasts, things are going exactly like they should. I plan no breastfeeding if able, but I'm fully aware I may not be able too. A good portion of the women in my…

Oh goodness, I just love this!! I think I'd be a little disturbed if a little girl was doing it though. Yesterday during my u/s the tech was trying to get my baby to move so she could try and determine the sex. She finally got the baby turned to get a bottom shot. She looked at us and said, "You see those two bright…

Amber, just let me know if you have any questions! Hopefully this is your first and last! Chicky- I'm glad to hear about your energy returning at 15 weeks. I'm right behind you (15w on Thursday) and I'm exhausted! I can't sleep for anything, I'm waking up to pee all the time, bloated with gas, waking up with headaches, and…

This is my first pregnancy, and I am a chronic stone former. I've had 4 surgeries for removal in the past. I fully expect to have more stones form during my pregnancy. Because I have a history of stones I'll be watched. But I'm pretty sure one is doing its thing in my right kidney right now. Unfortunately, while pregnant…

Hi everyone! My name is Chrystal. I'm 14w1d, due Nov 15 with our first. I'm not a huge poster, but I've been here reading. I go in Monday for an early gender ultrasound. My OB charges $75, and to me it is completely worth it. I think it is a boy because of the crazy dreams I've been having. I'm also still having problems…

I had some spotting early on. This is my first so you bet is scared the crap out of me! Turned out everything was fine, but it is always best to keep your OB in the loop. I'm 14 weeks now and still going strong. Please check out the group for some support. The ladies are wonderful.…

I had my original surgery at 24, no children. Silicone partially under the muscle, cost was $4400. Recovery time was moderate, I've had worse surgeries but I tend to recover slowly. Each surgeon has different limitations for resuming workouts. I had a very physical job and retune to work at 3 weeks. For a desk job I would…

I have them, I love them, they were the right choice for ME. It has to be your personal choice! No one else can make it for you. Each person has their own idea of what breast size is right for them, whether that means a reduction, a lift, or implants. Just do your research. A few incorrect points made: 1. They will not…

Hello everyone!! I had my first ultrasound yesterday to confirm our first baby. I'm about 8w5d with an estimate of November 15-16 for a due date. Being our first and not knowing for sure when we conceived, the u/s was a huge relief! So far I'm experiencing your normal 1st trimester symptoms, nausea, exhaustion, etc. I…

USAF vet, 4+ years active duty, recently separated and still dealing with some BS. I'm also married to military.

Name: Chrystal Hubby/Partner: Jereme How many kids do you have: 3 furkids, this is our first pregnancy Due Date: unknown Do you know the gender: unknown Have you picked out the baby's name: Still talking about it. Where do you live: Currently Alabama, but we will be moving in August to where ever the military sends us.…

Those links are for blog posts showing examples of bad fits from VS, the evidence asked for. They were not intended for anyone to use for fitting, nor was that ever stated. Please don't take more from the post then what was intended. Fit is very individual! You can read every fit guide you want, but it still comes down to…

There is some coming out now. http://www.tomima.com/2012/03/13/do-women-really-know-how-a-bra-should-fit/ http://busts4justice.com/2012/03/10/i-hate-victorias-secret/ They have tried to put me in a 36 band. I wear a 28. What ever they have in the store, they'll try and sell you. :(

Freya, Panache, Enell, Royce, Shock Abosber, Moving Comfort. They are everywhere if you know where to look. Just google your band and cupsize, and compression/encapsulation sports bra and you'll find options.

Bra fitting is my hobby. It is something I love to do because it really transforms a woman when she finds the right size. I'd never EVER send a woman to VS for a bra. There are much better options, that come in a variety of sizes that do not stop in a DD and come below a 32 band. This is the best calculator I have found,…

Actually, with newer technology in implants you may not need to get them replaced every 10 years. Newer implants are made to last, often you'll have a lifetime warranty. As for scar tissue, yes it is possible just like many other complications. Proper surgical technique will reduce the risk for developing contracture. It…

Amen on this!! It is very personal and to have other women pass judgement is very hurtful. I think it is immoral to pass judgements on others. How does having big implants make a person immoral? I have what is considered "big" implants, and I don't have two beach balls on my chest. I have these because I just did not have…

Of course this is something that you'll have to discuss with your surgeon of choice. But personally, I have not had any reduction in nipple sensitivity. In fact they are slightly more sensitive now. When you are early post op it is normal to have numbness because your nerves are being stretched. As long as the nerves are…

I have had an augmentation. Honestly, the best thing I could have done for myself. It's not about society or what other people think *I* should look like. I considered it off and on for 5+ years and finally decided when the right time was for me. It won't change who you are as a person and it isn't a life changing…

My #1 is Panache. There is also Freya Active, Shock Absorber, Moving Comfort, Enell, Anita, Pure Lime, Royce (not so recommended). Do yourself a favor and go for band/cupsize sports bras that offer encapsulation (and slight compression). Anyone in a DDD+ range really needs the encapsulation!

Do you have a health reason to be worried about your sodium intake? Really when compared to the average American your sodium is not horribly high. Personally, I suffer from kidney stones. Because of that I try to limit to 1500mg a day, my RD recommended no more then 2000mg with a minimum of 500mg. It is a concern for…

X2 on this!! I love her stuff. I have two of her bikinis, pic of the top of one and the bottom of the other is in my album. If you want band/cup size check out Freya (also UK) swimwear, you'd order a 32E. http://www.freyalingerie.com/swim.aspx If you want a retro high waist look you could check out Pin Up Girl Clothing.…

You can turn it off. Go to your home page, Settings, Automatic News feed settings, and uncheck the Completed Diary button. I dislike it also, especially when someone is already at a 1200 calorie goal.

This!!! You should definitely look into your fit and see if your bra band is too large. Do you wash and dry in a washing machine? If so, with regular wear a sports bra only lasts 3-6 months. You may need to invest in some new sports bras.

X2!! Great reminder sweets! And we do run the world. Bwhahahah! :)

A friend of mine had a reduction before children and is facing another one. Just like I said about my implants, she said it was the best thing she has done for herself. She had it done before children knowing she may have to have it done again, still no regrets. She had a difficult recovery, but is very happy. With any…
