@Litzie - Haha, I’m getting smaller na nga e… pero okay lang. Iba talaga if you’re fulfilled with where you are with your life e. Very happy kasi ako kaya I feel sexy and beautiful despite the scars of pregnancy. And don’t worry, you could still try bfing your next babies…

@julie - I agree! I don’t know if it’s weird of me to feel pride sometimes whenever I think of what the stretchmarks mean - being a mother So even if I complain to my husband sometimes, I really don’t mind having them.

@gailey - Hay, I kind of felt sexy also when I was pregnant. There’s just something with a pregnant belly… Good luck on your plans to breastfeed. My only advice would be to arm yourself with knowledge as early as now so that you’re prepared for it. Go breastfeeding!!! And btw, I sent you an email with Rome’s number already and I commented na din sa blog mo Enjoy your pregnancy!

during my teen years I envied the girls who had a more girly shape than I am.

but now that I’m pregnant with our eldest child, I feel so sexy despite being so tamad to dress up. also my breasts are bigger hopefully I can breastfeed baby.

on another note would you be able to give me contact number for Rome Kanapi? I found her contact number on a site but havent gotten any reply.

thanks!

Those body changes make us feel “different” but alongside this feeling, we do get a pleasure in knowing we have a wonderful baby (have three so multiply the stretch marks, hahaha!) that came from us. Nobody’s going to take that away from us.

Good for you your breasts grew bigger than expected. I will trade anything for a little of your cup size. LOL.

Kidding aside, I would trade anything if it meant having my little one breastfeed from my little mountains but I’m not lucky when it comes to having BM for Dustin so lucky you. Yu should be proud not b’coz of that increase in cup size but for breastfeeding Mateo, it is HARD work and dedication. So…. WAY TO GO ANDREA!

@N!cE - Thanks! I guess that’s how most breastfeeding moms feel

@kathy - I consider myself lucky though of course, it wouldn’t hurt if I got through pregnany and all unscathed. Hehe!

@ApplesH - Sometimes women find it hard to be content with what they have, hehe! I have friends also who are uncomfortable being big because it brings about unwanted attention. I guess you’re right, we really just have to be thankful for what we have

I think I have the same situation as Chi. I already have a big breast size pre-pregnancy and 2 kids later has pushed them to its biggest size ever. I dislike having big breasts as I am unable to wear buttoned clothes. But - we have to be thankful for what we have. Good thing, my husband is not a breast guy.

A few stretchmarks? Wow, you got off easy! My “battle” scars zigzag across my belly, upper thighs, buttocks…you name it. But like you, I wear them like my badges of honor. Our babies are surely worth a million stretchmarks. And more.

I share your sentiments about breasts and breastfeeding. I’m not really insecure about cup sizes, but I do appreciate the inevitable upgrade after I got pregnant.

@Chi - It really helps a lot to have people you love tell you that they don’t care how you look or that you would always look beautiful to them. Ramil would always tell me he’d find me beautiful no matter what and I really appreciated that. It’s way better now that I, myself, am satisfied and content with what I have. I guess I AM getting old.

i actually felt the same insecurities when i had my daughter. (but the other way around). i’ve been a cup-C for as long as i remember and when i had my eldest daughter, jenna, i grew bigger (and not just my breast but all of me) and i did hate it since it’s really difficult to find decent clothes. i actually swore to myself that i wouldn’t want another baby if it would mean another cup-size and another inch in my hip for me. but for seven years, i kinda appreciated myself since my husband and daughter kept telling me that they would still love me no matter how i look. now im having another baby and it does feel good to have no more inhibitions when it comes to physical appearance.
