Title: One nipple growing!
Post by: Autumn on July 16, 2009, 01:36:03 AM
I'm just all excited and for some reason my girlfriend and friends don't understand  >:-)

I've had some nodule/stuff behind my nipples for a while now - I can't really recall if that was always there or if it was aided by the *asterides. When I started spiro, I noticed them getting a little bigger as tissue started to grow.

Then last week, holy cow! It felt like when you have a deep, deep zit in your skin. Only it was behind my left nipple. Ow! Incredibly sore. Except touching it also causes... stimulation in another place. When I pinch at it, i feel like the nipple is attached to something which anchors it more to my chest and keeps me from squeezing the nipple/areola flat, plus getting puffier. My right one, for example, can be squeezed flat and has more elasticity.

"Oh. So *that* is what actual breast growth is like. Honey! Honey! Look at this! Check it out! My left one's growing!" "It's okay baby." "It's not okay, it's awesome! Check this out!" "It's nothing to be worried about, lovely." "You aren't listening, I'm excited!" *sigh*


Now if only the other one would get on board :p

I'm just so excited and I can't stop poking it and giggling and smiling. Well, I stopped giggling and smiling when a coworker hit me in the chest earlier today. I'm sure I got weird looks cupping my chest for a few hours.

I remeber the first time that my boobs began to hurt.  :icon_dance:  Even now at 18 months I get excited at any kind of uncomfortably in my boobs.

Congratulations Autumn!  ;D ;D ;D

I was going to my laser appointment today and had to park in east jesus. As I started across the baking parking lot at a dead run...

OW! SON OF A BITCH!   :o

I ended up having to hold my boob for the entire 3 minute run.  >:(

This is going to get really awkward if the one keeps growing and the second doesn't catch up... I guess I can wear a sports bra and pad the other for symmetry.

Even most natal women don't have perfectly symmetrical breasts, so don't sweat it.

In fact, one is supposed to be a little bit smaller.

P.S. Kaylee is one of my favourite characters from FireFly.

Try taking a fall while climbing and scraping your chest across the rock; maybe add some pendulum for extra thrills. The word for it is "cheese grater." Ow. I should probably start wearing a bra while climbing.

Still, not nearly as bad as the old soccer-ball-to-the-groin experience. :icon_yikes:
