{{Brenda}} I hope he recovers quickly.

And, because I forgot to say anything last night: Connie, I hope everything turns out okay.

brenda - sending the ma~~ -- and really they need to rethink the pain meds. ichy and can't take enough to stop the pain is enough to say - we need to revisit.

Much ~ma brenda. I support checking on the pain medication/anesthesia.

I've had good luck at Target with bras, I think with DDs. It was a similar sort of size in changing so I want to buy cheap bras situation, and they served.

Much healthma for Brenda's dad.

Although I could swear maybe DD, at least.

Heh. Right now the 40IIJ's (whatever the heck that means) I got in mid-pregnancy are getting a little too loose and unsupportive, but I'm nowhere near being able to wear my pre-preg 36DDD's yet. I've got some serious breastage here. My hope is that once I get down to 155 lbs. or so (which, at a big-boned 5'8", I've made my goal weight), I'll only be a DD. Maybe I'd better stick to LB.

Yeah. I'm going up there tomorrow and I'll have some words if they havent' corrected the situation. In the mean time I'ma sic my mom's best friend on them, as she is well versed in pain management, mental disorientation, and fighting with doctors and hospitals.

Glad you have someone to sic on 'em, brenda.

Susan, you might not ever get down to your pre-Annabel breast size. The rib cage expansion can stick just enough to keep them a size above. (My mother's ribs went back, but I think she gained a cup size for each of us, which isn't the normal way it goes--normally, you lose breast size.)

Target doesn't have *anything* above a DD, not even in nursing bras. The fuckers. I'm kind of bitter about this.

If you can't find what you need at Lane Bryant, try the close out section at the Bon (well, I guess it's officially Macy's now, but whatev). That's where I did all my pre-pregnancy bra shopping, and I was able to score DD/DDD bras for under $20 each. (I'm very sad that I have all these nice bras in good shape that will probably never fit me again. Sigh.)

Non-bra related ~ma to Connie and to Brenda.

What? no one told me that. I just bought a bunch of bras in December, dammit. And, no, they don't really fit right already.

And, no, they don't really fit right already.

If they're too small can't you get an extender for the clasp (assuming it's a back clasp)?
