The hype around Sagging Boobs (oh and pregnancy)
When you think of pregnancy, protruding bellies, stretch marks, varicose veins, enormous (and uncontrollable) appetites, and swollen ankles are considered the norm. Right? But did anyone tell you about the sagging boobs?
Sure, I've always been a bit well endowed (and believe me when I tell you, I'd much rather been the flat girl in junior high. The thunder thighs and bouncing boob comments got old in a whole five seconds). And when I had the kiddo over four years ago, I remember the enlargement. It made even maternity tops do a little stretching. But sagging? Really not something I remember or expected. Hell, I'm like 5 months along and already there are reaching somewhere in the belly button region (that is if my now protruding uterus were not in the way). What is up with that?
If they are getting ready for producing milk (God knows they remember, it's only been... what? 2 and a half years since they were dying for the kiddo to wean), I'm in a helluva lot of trouble. Not only is that much milk going to cause some painful beginning days for me with a new little one--um, I'm concerned I just might fall forward under the weight!
