The boobs, they hurts usss! My precioussesss!!!

Note: There shall be graphic details here. I am warning you!

As a Therapist, having clients who've been pregnant in the past, Family and friends too, You hear all sort of stuff.
ESPECIALLY as a Therapist.  I won't go saying the stuff I hear since well, you know, I got a code of Ethic to up hold but I can say this from family and friends.

They would tell me "oh the breasts, they do hurt!"

Most of my life, I've never really had issues with the melon twins when it came to pain and discomfort around the 'Red Army' time of the month.(Yes you've guessed it. Period, menstruations, Red army. HA!)

Anyhoo, never really had it until when I hit 29. Sometimes I'd get the pain, sometimes I didn't.
In the past year, it would happen more often, but, meh, I could ignore it since it would come for a few minutes, last 3-4 days a week before the Whole Army attacked full force.
All good right?

Well, pregnancy boobage pain is like....Well, This is how I can explain it

I wake up in the morning, all is great. Ohkay, so the girls feel a bit heavy, no real change in size, or coloration like some do. Oh kay I lie. The boobs are slightly larger, not in my face O-M-G they are getting big fast just but a 'oh, look, a bit fuller in the hands'. Woo fondle!
Well the big difference for me are...the Nipples.
OH goodness. Most who know me and who've heard me before or gone bra shopping with me know. I will NOT buy anything without padding inside.
Why? Because my nippies, are always outies.

Hot or cold, sunny or dark, Summer or winter, there they are. Gloriously sticking out my bra and shirt saying "HELLO WORLD!! LOOK AT US, WE ARE HERE TO POINT YOUR DIRECTION IN LIFE!" Granted they don't point in the same direction all the time.

Well anyway, I was not the only one to notice that the bitsies are bigger.  A big grown up man called husband has also noticed. Not when he sees me naked out of the shower or going to bed. oh nooooo. He notices one day when he's giving me a big hug after coming home from work!!!!
His face jsut changed, looked down and went 'Hurgh....I can feel your nips against my chest. are you wearing a bra?" and I'm all "Hurgh DUH yeah! late afternoon and I'm fully dressed!"

Yeah, another family member thought I was very happy to see him when he gave me a hug and felt the girls saying hi to him too. EMBARRASSING MUCH!?!?!

So, we know the nipple get harder, bigger, Gosh I hope no bigger than they are now or this poor child will choke on it before it gets a drop of milk out of me!

...I swear I must suffer of Attention deficit disorder at times. I was suppose to speak of boob pain and instead I went on a major rant about nipple size. Alright back on track!

So, this is the sort of pain I've felt in the past few weeks.

I put on my bra, put a shirt on and oups there it starts...A slow burn. Starts from the tip of the nipple and just grows in and around the boob. Sometimes I grab them in my bra, press them to my chest, NOTHING I do helps. Not scratching, not pinching, not pressing, Nothing!
Worse is, going outside shoveling snow. Oh when I come in it's like frost bites on the nipplies. Horrible horrible searing burning pain!

I swear, I Really swear, little invisible Imps exist! And they attack pregnant women with their razor sharp flaming teeth!!! That's how it feels! Constant burning gnawing on the precious' ones! That's how i can describe this pain. Just, nasty burning that just won't stop and when it does and you take a breath of relief, it starts again! I am GLAD the IMps found another pregnant woman to harass lately since in the past 4 days I noticed, no gnawing the bits feeling!....Now I fear waht will it feel like once I breast feed. If the kidlets decides to latch on of course. Probably feel like Gollum sucking on his wrrrriiiiigggly fish?

  1. Lol wait for the nursing part, more growing, pain but it's worth it!

    and for the ADD I call it mama's brain, oh look squirrel...ya mama's brain.

    My theory is that we are born with a certain amount of brain, and during pregnancy we give some on our brain, so you know our kids are not dumb, but then we are left with some missing brain cells, hence MAMA'S BRAIN!!!!
