Now heading into my 23rd week, the boobs have become an issue. I've gotten to the point where I have to start wearing bigger bras. I've started buying nursing bras but without being really sure how big these puppies are going to get, it feels like an impossible task to try and predict. Also, at almost $50 bucks a pop, I'm trying to buy ones that I can hopefully wear once the newbie arrives. In my search for the right bra, something has perplexed me. Mainly, why do all of the nursing and maternity bras look like granny underwear. Like a good portion of prego ladies out there, I'm struggling with some body issues right now, specifically my body does not feel like its my own, let alone sexy. Don't even think about feeling sexy popping on one of these bad boys on:
I recently sent a request to Victoria Secret asking them why they don't have a maternity line and the response I got simply said that they didn't currently have a maternity line but that my suggestion would be passed on to their product development people. In other words, "thanks for inquiring but we only help make the babies, not support them." Meh. So I went on the hunt for something elsewhere. I found a site called "Hot Milk"(http://www.hotmilklingerie.com/), that has designer maternity lingerie. I've been impressed by some of their products and plethora of sizes but there is still a lack of variety.
So the hunt is still on. I appreciate comfort, especially these days but I don't see why sexy has to give way to practicality. A balance can be maintained. Mommas of all shapes and sizes deserve to feel sexy, beautiful, and supported right down to their bra straps.
