Okay, someone needs to tell it.
Someone needs to warn all those people out there just how disgusting it feels when the underside of one's breasts touch one's stomach. Especially noticeable in the bath.
I am not sure if this is one of the world's best kept secrets, not told so as not to discourage women from falling pregnant. I just know that no one ever told me, and I am not adverse to sharing the good, the bad and in this case, the ugly, with other women out there. And men might as well take note too. Not everything about boobs is GOOD. Feeling them touch the top of one's stomach is most definitely not good.
Then there's the itch...anyone ever felt that? An insane itch all around the soft white parts of your boobs. Crazy isn't it?
The commercial side of the world seem to project this wonderful, almost angelic side to pregnancy, with these glowing pregnant ladies on the cover of magazines, all radiant and healthy.
Now what about the other 99% of us? We of the swollen feet, itchy skin, bloated stomach (bulge aside), dehydrated skin, etc, etc, etc, wearing our husband's clothes because ours don't fit anymore, and the damn shops maternity gear just doesn't seem to have a size that perfectly fits and completely compliments our oversized, bloated and bulky new look.....
Why does the world not tell about that darned trapped nerve just at the very top of ones right butt cheek that just won't go away, the sudden onslaught of heart burn that one never suffered from before. The intolerance of certain smells, the sudden tolerance of food never before ingested....yes, there's soooo much more than what the world tells you all about the....uh....joys of pregnancy.
Of course, the awe of seeing your little babe growing within your belly at your monthly scans is well worth all the itchy skin, swollen feet, etc. Isn't it? ISN"T IT?
Still, after all the years of wishing for more boobs, it only takes a pregnancy to remind me of all the reaons to be grateful for what I've been given. Bigger is not always better.
And this is all I am saying on this subject....
