::points down:: Just wanted to make sure you saw my reply in Christinas "growth spurt" post. I definitely don't want to scare you away from BFing! It's really a wonderful experience, and I promise all the pain and body changes are totally worth it.
Re: tara
I did see your post -- and I probably do need a new bra!
Just trying to hold out until I need to buy nursing bras. I'll probably go get measured a few days after birth, just because I have NO idea what size I'd need if I tried to buy one now. Is that what most women do? Just wait to get fitted for some til your milk comes in?
And don't worry, no one could scare me away from breastfeeding. No one has scared me away from natural childbirth or cloth diapering yet either, though I've actually heard more horror stories about BF'ing then the other two things. I'm definitely scared about it, but I'm prepared to roll with the punches and do the best I can.
I would say go buy one nursing bra now, and then wait until your milk comes in before you buy any more. You will need it immediately, but your milk won't come in for a few days after giving birth. So, you may need to adjust sizes once the milk comes in and your breasts adjust to it (you may be engorged for the first few days.)
