Can I get this off my chest?
First let me apologize. I have been remiss this week in posting. Work has been busy and I’ve had to go emergency bra shopping. Still, that’s no excuse.
This has been a week of chesty issues for me. My bras have been getting tighter and tighter of late. On Sunday, I was miserable throughout church. My chest was so constricted by my biggest bra that it physically hurt!
I don’t know why I didn’t go get a bra then, except I just wanted to get home and free myself. Then I just wanted to sit and doze through some football games. By the time I went to Hancock Fabrics that afternoon, I had completely forgotten about the pain.
On Monday I tried a bra that gives me more leeway, but by 1 p.m., I was in real pain. I IM’d my sweet husband and told him we had to go bra shopping at TJ Maxx after work. I bought from the clearance rack, because hopefully (!!!) I might have to go up another size at some point in the future. I’m normally a 34B, so I got three 36C bras. I figured I could grow into them because they did look pretty big.
I’m still small enough that when I’m at home, I’m braless. I know this probably isn’t good, but after the pain of this weekend, I definitely wasn’t going to wear an over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder any longer than I had to.
Monday night I was talking on the phone to my parents and cutting out a dress pattern for a friend when I felt something wet on my stomach. I looked down and there were two wet spots on the front of my shirt!!! How embarrassing.
I’m glad I was on the phone with my mom, because I whispered to her that I was “leaking”. She assured me that this was perfectly normal. I thought you “leaked” after you had your baby, not before.
You would think my chesty issues ended there, but alas, no. I decided to wear a new bra (which is really too big) under a long john type shirt that was not meant to be worn with a lumpy bra. I realized this at about 10 a.m. when I went on my first bathroom run at work. I ended up having to wear my corduroy jacket over my long john top in 80 degree weather all day. I was miserable, yet again.
What craziness! I haven't had a run of days like these in recent mammary--I mean, memory.

Haha! Aside from the leaking which I haven't really experienced yet, I had the same problem with the boobs. I'm normally a 34B too, but now I'm up to a 36D and those bras are getting uncomfortable to the point of me wanting told just hold them up with my bare hands when I'm at home. I've been wearing stretchy sports bras in size large, which helps a little.
A 36D!! I hope I can get that big. Is that bad? As a small 34B, I've always wanted to be chesty. I have been seriously considering the sports bra option. Thanks for the advice!
