Let me start by introducing my breasts. They’re not huge, but they’re definitely not small either. While we’re on the issue of breasts, I might as well be as transparent as ever. I’m a 38D. Let me rephrase that: I was 38D before I got pregnant. I was told by many over zealous mothers (read: Solachi) that once I get pregnant, my breasts would explode. Well, I got pregnant and that didn’t really happen. They got bigger, sure, but nothing like what I was expecting. I didn’t even notice their increased size (because I was still wearing the same clothes and bras) until they day I tried on my push up bra and it looked like I borrowed it from someone. That was when I knew that my breasts had increased. But like I said, nothing drastic.<\/p>\n

\"Breastfeeding\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After I had the baby, my breasts were still the same until my breast milk came in. Did you know that breast milk doesn’t come in as soon as the baby is born? I did not know that until I gave birth. At first, the only thing that was coming out of my breasts was colostrum, fondly known as first milk<\/em>, which I was told is very nutritional and essential for the baby. Two days after giving birth, my breast milk came in, and boy, did it come in. My breasts were bigger, fuller, heavier, perkier, and harder. I have never touched surgically enhanced breasts, but I would imagine that they feel something like mine: hard, lumpy, and distinguished – in a non breast kind of way.<\/p>\n

I did not buy a nursing bra before I had my baby. Not because I thought I would not need it, but because I wanted to make sure I needed it before buying it. One thing I noticed while pregnant is that many people and many blogs will give you a long list of things that you need. But pregnancies are as different as the women carrying them. Perhaps, I should put up a post about my maternity fashion – or lack, thereof.<\/p>\n

Ehen, about the breastfeeding breasts, I did not have a nursing bra, but I learned very quickly that I needed one because my regular bras did not fit, and I could not go around braless because my milk was leaking and I needed nursing pads, which I would only be able to use with a bra. I tried wearing my sports bra, but that only worked for a day, as I started having back pain from the weight of my new breasts and the lack of support that the sports bra provided. Thank God for my boo thang, Funmie who bought me two nursing bras. One was a size 38DDD and the other was 40DDD. I thought she was crazy for both because Vera Ezimora does not wear triple D of any bra. Was I wrong or what! The 38DDD fit perfectly. The 40DDD was too wide.<\/p>\n

So why are breastfeeding breasts the best? Because my newly enlarged bosom has me feeling all kinds of sexy. I look at myself in the mirror, especially from the side, and I’m like, asa nwa!!!! Na only you waka come oh!<\/em>\u00a0And when I put on my brown and black lace nursing bra, I almost want to take my own self to bed. Also, Igwe keeps staring at me with longing eyes, and I have to remind him to back off! We can’t do naughty things because I’m still healing. He counts down everyday. My only regret about the breastfeeding breasts is that I cannot walk around braless — because of the leak and everything. Speaking about my leaking breasts, my breasts now also squirt milk at an alarming speed and distance. Bystanders, beware.<\/p>\n

Oh, and while I’m possibly turning you on and grossing you out at the same time, I’d like to also add that my breasts have a smell now. I suppose it’s the smell of breast milk, although when I smell the breast milk from the bottle (after pumping), I can’t smell a single thing. But I smell it on myself and on my baby, and I. Love. It. I can’t explain it at all, but I love it.<\/p>\n

So if you catch me at the traffic light with my head buried in my shirt, know I am\u00a0either sniffing my breasts or checking them out. Probably both.<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> I have another breastfeeding story that I have to share. This one isn’t about the size of my breasts. Technically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
