My cousin is getting married in three months. I will be about five months along with number 2. She has asked me to be in her wedding and I'm thrilled, but I need a dress. She knows I'm pregnant and is really easy going about the dresses, asking only that it be navy blue or silver- everything else is up to us. I don't want to spend a lot of money ( Read more... )

Who else plans to wear or did wear a bikini while pregnant? Just curious. I bought a new bikini and some people haven't been so nice.

I know this is a likely "no", but is it possible to nurse without buying all of the expensive nursing tops and bras?? I'm a big girl, and my bra size is 46DD normally, which will get bigger when my milk comes in and its TERRIBLY hard to find nursing bras in my size. I've had to resort to buying the expensive ones online, which my MIL has been nice ( Read more... )
