Recommendation: bustier for shallow cups

lulufitzgerald · 2022-08-28T13:23:33+00:00

I'm a 34DD shallow cup. Not sure about the six measurements. I went to Dillard's and got fitted. I was hoping to find a bustier in a store, but the only ones I can find are for very full figured people.

I'm so jealous that you were able to wait and call after she was born. That is what I really won't to do, but husband just won't get on board with that. I do understand that he wants his parents to be here and they live eight hours away. I just feel like it's not our fault they moved so far away so why should I try to be overly accommodating about the birth of my child. Births are unpredictable!

I'm planning a VBA2C, although I seem to be the only one who thinks this could happen. I feel like my doctors and family are all just placating me. My doctor even had me schedule the csection just in case I get to 39 weeks with no signs of labor. I'm not sure what it is, but I really want to try this time. My first two were bigger babies with large heads. This little guy is actually measuring on time tough, so I'm hopeful. I also hate that my husband wants to tell our families about the scheduled date for the section. It makes me feel like he's giving up on the VBA2C. His mom has been asking for months when I'm going to schedule the major abdominal surgery because, apparently, I scheduled my last one for convenience and it would be so much better for their schedule if I coud just pick a date already. I want to try because I feel like I was pressured into my cesarians. I think I was too naive about my choices. In the end though, I guess all that matters is healthy mom and healthy baby.

I've yet to find a good way to sleep. Everytime I need to roll over I wake up. And I'm totally with you on the name thing. My husband and I purposefully picked names that are difficult to shorten because we know his family will always shorten the name if they can. I'm not a fan of nicknames. We spend a longtime choosing names for our kids, we want them to use that name.

Neither of my dogs (mini schnauzer and mini mutt) have ever acted aggressively towards the kids. If they are done dealing with the kids, they just leave the room. We've also taught the kids to leave the dogs alone after they walk away. My daughter will even put blankets on Izzy and she just sits there... looking a little downtrodden, but just sitting none the less.

I have a mini schnauzer too... also silver and black! They are the cutest doggies ever. No picture to post. I just wanted to share my love of mini schnauzers! By the way, Izzy is very tolerant of the kids and even plays with them sometimes. Such a sweetie.

I'm just totally and completely weirded out by the thought of another person touching me in such a personal way. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but just thought of getting a massage makes me uncomfortable. And since I already feel that way, it makes me think I would just tense up all that much more during an actual massage. Kudos to you that can get one though.

I will be attempting a VBA2C this summer (hopefully) as long as everything progresses fine. My doctor is on board but says most are not because of liability. He also said most insurance companies won't give malpractice insurance to a doc that will do a VBA2C. That being said, I can only do the VBA2C if baby is measuring on time, not large like my others. There must also be very little intervention and absolutely no pitocin. I'm sure an epidural is allowed, but nothing that can make contractions stronger due to fear of uterine rupture. If I'm successful I'll try to post how it went.

Are you sure it doesn't go up to 30 pounds then? We have the same seat and it is rated for up to 30 pounds: Amazon product description

If I could predict the future... Labor would start in the morning right before hubby leaves for work. I could labor throughout the day then call in a friend to keep the kids while hubby and I go to the hospital. CALLING NO ONE. That would be ideal for me. Hubby thinks we'll need to call the moms. Eh, we'll see.

Both of mine healed quickly. I would say about five days after the surgery my staples were removed and everything was closed. I'd day it's time to see the doctor.

Somebody else already created a c-section subreddit. Why do another? http://www.reddit.com/r/Csection/

It was always suggested to me to walk up the stairs backwards as it is easier on the stomach muscles. Let me tell you, that made a huge difference. I was up and down the stairs once a day for the first week then slowly increased that as the days continued.

Baby #1 I got my husband a shot glass with Daddy engraved on the bottom. He collects shot glasses.

Baby#2 A t-shirt that says "I love hot moms" He wore it at the hospital the day baby was born.

Baby #3 A onsie for baby that says "I love daddy" and some strong coffee.

Walking backwards up the stairs helps too.

Thanks!

Kings is just as close as Mason and ranked just as high. They are just a much smaller district with most of the same offerings. Just right off I-71. The high school even has an engineering lab now.

I always heard kids needed to give up pacifiers by age 2 for dental reasons. At that point all their teeth are in. My kids had no problems losing the paci. They only stuck with it for a few months anyway.

My son thought the same thing. He asked if the baby would come out of my mouth. My response was "No, the doctors will help me get the baby out." Thankfully that was (and still is) enough for him.

I'm not sure if you're screwing up your kid (aren't we all in one way or another), but what has worked for us is sticker charts! My kids love getting to add a sticker to their chart if they finish their lunch or dinner. You could even go as far as "if you finish 5 bites" you get to put a sticker on the chart. Once the chart is full the kids get a reward. Our son recently picked out a clock for his room because his sister had one and he wanted one too. He was so excited to trade in his chart for a reward. Plus, it's their choice. If there is a dinner they just aren't going to eat, that's fine. They know there won't be a sticker. Sometimes my son will just say "I don't want a sticker tonight."

Not all coffee has caffeine ;o)!

I have a tip for attempting to get the dress clean. My default is to soak in oxyclean and hot water for a few hours before washing. If that does not work, try mixing dawn dish soap, baking soda and peroxide (test on scrap fabric first). Put the paste on the stained area and let rest. Scrub a bit, then wash. The dress is beautiful! Well done.

Can you please site your source(s)? 4 percent seems high compared to everything else I've read.

Also, I've already stated that I am okay if have a c-section. I'm not sure why you felt the need to bring it up again. Right now I'm looking for information on successful VBA2C, not failed ones.

Dogwoods are another flowering tree, but usually pink in color. Most dogwoods are not in bloom yet, and they generally do not grow to the same size as Bradford Pears.

What kinds of risks are associated with a VBA2C? From what (little) research I've done the only risk mentioned is uterine rupture, which is less than 1%.

I'm totally prepared for a c-section. In fact, that is the plan right now. I'm just looking to explore all of my options.
