This is a little different, but along similar lines... dh would much rather grab my boobs than put his hands on my belly and feel the baby kicking.  I basically have to force him to feel the baby.  I guess it's old hat by the third time around?  But seriously, back rub?  Foot rub?   Yes!   Boob grab?  No thanks.  I wondered at first if he though it was making me feel sexy, but honestly I think he just wants to grab my larger, pregnant breasts.  My body is aching and sore.  It would love some attention.  Not sexual- just nice pampering attention.  Is that so much to ask?

 

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd love for my husband to be randomly grabbing my boobs more. LOL. I'm loving my pregnant boobs so much, I feel sexier than ever in that regard! And sorry if this is TMI, but they're more sensitive than ever in a good way during intimacy. I want them to stay bigger forever! I was just a small B before on a rather large frame and now I'm enjoying a C. joy.gif LOVE IT~ lol

 

My hubby doesn't really try to feel the baby move either unless he happens to be sitting next to me while I start to try feeling her move, then he sometimes gets the idea in his head and puts his hand there. But otherwise it's never anything he seeks out. If she's kicking a lot then I'll grab his hand and make him feel, LOL. He is too impatient to wait in between kicks so I try to give him a heads up during times she's really active.

Joanie, you're lucky, about how sensitive yours have been. Ever since I started leaking, they have lost alot of feeling. I don't like my boobs being above a C cup, because I would like to for ONCE buy a cute matching set of undies with a bra. They almost NEVER come in anything bigger than a C cup. irked.gif

Should my boobs be leaking already at 30 weeks? I haven't had anything come out of them at all so far... Does that kind of thing just vary from person to person?

This is my third pregnancy, and I've never leaked while pregnant. (Those first few months, though - holy moly!) I can hand express a tiny bit of colostrum right now, but I think that is only because I am still nursing a toddler. I could never even get that much the other two times. It really just varies from woman to woman, and is no indication of whether you will have supply issues once baby is born!

It varies with every person and every pregnancy. With my first, I didn't start leaking until 35 weeks. With my 2nd, I didn't leak until 25 weeks. This time, I started leaking at 24 weeks.

I don't "leak" necessarily, but I can see dried colostrum on the nipple as well as in my bras.

Yup, I don't leak during pregnancy either.  I'm also still nursing (once a day) and can hardly express one drop of clear fluid.  Once my milk come in though I produce enough to feed 2 or 3 babies!

Yeah, I don't mind the extra attention too much, although I am very self conscious about my breasts.  I was a C before my first and I've been a G or bigger ever since (continuously nursing or pregnant).  I feel so floppy  and huge and UGH.  I can't even buy bras at a regular store because I'm a 32 band, and I either wear shirts out across the breasts, (seriously, the fabric deteriorates) or I look like I'm wearing a sack.

 

Dh isn't into the baby kicking, never was with any of them, so I just grab his hand to feel her kicking when she's active and pretend excitement for both of us.

I was an A or small B before my first two. I was a C going into this pregnancy and I was happy with that. Now I'm a D and growing fast. I have decided that anything over a C is not for me! I actually get marks on my shoulders and around my chest from my bras. Plus, boob sweat. What is up with that? How did I not know that when they get bigger, there is sweating?! I freakin hate it!  Ahh!!! 

 

Also, I just realized that stores don't sell bigger than a D cup. What's up with that? Okay, so I suppose this is an example of smaller boobed privilege that I've gone so long without noticing this, but still. I guess for my next bra (which I'll probably need in a few weeks) I just have to order online and hope it fits.

 

 

Oh, and more on topic, dp loves my boobs. So at least that's a perk!

I never did.  But I do get the crusties inside the milk ducts.

This is my third pregnancy and I've never leaked colostrum.  I can express a few drops, though (I'm 28 weeks).
