At 36 / 37 week’s they advise you to go out to purchase your nursing bra, which I have done this week.
A good part of being pregnant - my boobs are now a 36 DD.. first and only time in my life I have more than a handful!
Don’t get me wrong though, they certainly aren’t page 3 DD’s, and defiantly have more of a “mummy” look about them, not that glamorous without the clothing I’m afraid!
Apparently they get bigger still when babytays arrives, but I’m also guessing that they will never look the same as they did on my wedding night, 10 months ago!

Blessed with wide pelvis!
Week 37, and had my one, from last midwife appointment today (if on time). I arrived expecting the standard routine visit – bloody pressure, latest leaflets & chat, check wee sample, measure bump and listen to heart beat, plus the dreaded blood test I’ve been putting off for the last couple of visits – surprising that I still hate needles, considering the pain I’m about to experience!
Well today was a bit more interesting! I expected to be told that baby was fully engaged, as two weeks ago it was 4/5ths. Claire, my midwife felt the bump for babytays location, and after much feeling around was unsure whether the hard lump at the top of my bump was ass or head.. and she was unable to feel the head down in the pelvis.
She told me there were two situations – either babytays had decided to already become a pain in the ass (literally) and had turned to the breach position, which would result in a c- section, my very worse nightmare! Or I was lucky enough to have been blessed with a very wide pelvis and babytays was buried down deep, which is why the head couldn’t be found.
To find out I was sent to St Michaels for a scan to confirm the position. I spent the whole journey with my fingers crossed that it wasn’t breach, as like I said C section is some ladies dream, but for me would be worse nightmare, I cant think of anything worse than being effectively injured for 6 weeks – no driving etc etc. The only plus side would have been that the operation would have been booked in for 39 weeks, which means babytays would arrive on the 22nd June.
Well I had the scan, and luck was on my side, I was told babytays is deep in my wide pelvis and I’m just waiting for contractions.
When my midwife called later in the day to see how I got on, I asked if it ment I would delivery early, she replied “not early, but it will be a quick labour!” that reply was good enough for me and has eased my labour fears slightly more!!
