I just got a top from Motherhood Maternity, who was having a sale. It was only $15! Before, I had an old navy tankini that made me look like a beached whale at 6 months pregnant. I used the bottom (black) from the old navy suit with the...

DDCC here, still nursing at 29 weeks. I started to get a bit of (I assume) colostrum too, also at around 27-28 weeks. DS (2.5) likes it, but it only lasts about 8 swallows or so. One side is still a really low producer -- hope this picks...
