I have a couple questions

1). How long did your bobbies hurt and when did you have to start buying new bras?

2). How long did you feel crampy for? It's like mild to moderate AF cramps w/o any bleeding. I think it's a mix of gas also, but just wondering when it stoped or when to get worried.

3). In the early weeks before you bought maternity pants what did you do to keep wearing your same pants even though you are super bloated? We're going away in 2wks and I can't button my jeans now, I don't know what to do then and track pants will not cut it.

TIA

1). How long did your bobbies hurt and when did you have to start buying new bras?Boobie still are sore and I'm 21 weeks! They have their good days and then their very sore/bad days! I had to buy new bras at around 12 weeks and prob will need to again soon!

I cramped throughout the 1st trimester, and still cramp up on occasion! Totally normal! I never once had bleeding though!

The bella band/ tummy sleeve is a life saver!! I am still wearing it now- maternity pants just aren't fitting me right! Best investment I made so far!!

1). How long did your bobbies hurt and when did you have to start buying new bras?

My boobs pretty much hurt through the first trimester-- but, I was on progesterone supplements which I believe made it worse. Even now, there is still soreness, but NOTHING like it was in the beginning. Now, it just kinda hurts when I take my bra off.

I just got some new bras at 24 weeks-- I still fit into my old bras, but I just felt I wasn't being shaped as nicely.


2). How long did you feel crampy for?

I had menstral like cramps on and off throughout the first trimester. I did not worry about anything-- if there is no blood, there is no cause for alarm. There is a ton of stuff happening in your body, you are bound to feel something. After the crampy feelings, you will graduate to gas pains and round ligament pains, etc. There most likely will always be an explanation for a cramp/pain-- unless it's VERY painful and there is blood, don't worry.

3). In the early weeks before you bought maternity pants what did you do to keep wearing your same pants even though you are super bloated?

I found that the bloat subsided around 9 weeks or so-- so, I think that initial bloat goes away. BUt then of course you get more bloated throughout the day. I would use the rubber band trick, as well as the bella band for your pants now. I would wait as long as possible to buy maternity stuff.
