updates, questions, misc.

I had an ultrasound today at 29 weeks, 4 days. Girls are doing GREAT, A is measuring 3 lbs 12 oz and B is measuring 3 lbs 11 oz, she says they are ahead of schedule and in the 60th percentile.

Question 1:
I'm on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy and I have a question about buying a nursing bra. How do I buy one? Just online? How will I size it? My size has not increased at all throughout the whole pregnancy, with about 7 weeks left, will they get bigger once I start producing milk? Should I just buy a nursing bra in my size or buy a few and then return what doesn't fit? Where is a decent site to purchase one?

Question 2:
I'm taking Terb, it's helping the contractions and it's not making me feel horrible...but when I get up I'm super shaky. For those of you taking it or took it, what side effects of you experienced?

Random Question 3:
We have a Peg Perego Duette stroller that was passed down by a family friend. I am hoping to find two extra bases for the car seats, but I'm not having much luck on craigslist. I'm wondering if there might be another base that the car seat would fit into, I guess I should contact the manufacturer, but just wondering if anyone knew.

I'm not sure what to tell you about the first 2 questions, but as far as car seat bases go you should be able to get them right at the company's website. E-bay may have some too. I was more confident purchasing through the company just because I knew they were new. No previous accidents. Good luck finding them!!

 

I agree with PP on number 3. As far as number 1, I got a nursing bra in the size I am currently, this was the recommendation of the lady at motherhood. I would go to Motherhood Maternity on-line, they should have a big selection-they did in the store. Good luck.

 

As for the bra, I say wait until you deliver, you will notice a big change.
You can be measured and have someone go get you a bra. Do you have a local LC office that carries them? That may be a great plan. Depending on your size now and what you may become some large sizes are impossible at Motherhood. Personally I hated their bras.

 

The only answer I have for you is the nursing bra - wait until they're born or until the very end. My bra size changed several times throughout my son's pregnancy and afterward when I breastfed. I went from a 36C pre-pregnancy, to a 38D during pregnancy, to a 40DD while breastfeeding. What a shocker!
