What to Wear When You are Pregnant
Posted December 9th, 2010 in Ume's Pregnancy 2 Comments »My memory is getting worse… I mean, really worse! And my body… I feel tired, I feel sleepy, and I am cranky. Even though I sleep early, I need 10 to 20 minutes to move my body and get up from the bed each morning.
Weather has been eased and it’s been pretty cool this week (thank god), but it was terrible when it was around 40 degrees (few weeks ago). I don’t like hot weather. To me, dry climate is much better than humid and wet climate like summer in Japan, but the heat still makes me cranky. Plus the discomfort of my body… (Sorry D, friends, and colleagues!!)
I know being tired, sleepy and cranky are the common symptoms, but I also have really short memory now. Like yesterday, I lost my house key and a key for the safety box for the office… I realized it when I arrived home. Luckily manager found them near the printer in the office, but I don’t even remember going near the printer yesterday!
I think one of the things making me so uncomfortable during the day could be the bra (sorry, male readers!). Non of my clothes fit my body anymore, and so do my bras. Before getting pregnant I used to wear pretty tight clothes that fit my body, and it was more comfortable than wearing lose clothes. But now, everything has to be lose – especially around my belly and chest – otherwise I get really annoyed and cranky.
I remembered that I had nude bra in the closet which I brought from Japan. I haven’t worn it for a long time, but I thought it’s a perfect bra for me now as it doesn’t have any straps.
I can also buy some more maternity bras, but I have no idea what is my size here and they are quite pricy. I’ve got few from Japan and I think I try to survive with these bra and this nude bra… Summer here is too hot for pregnant women!
Four Seasons in Carillion Shopping Centre does fitting for maternity bras and you don’t have to buy many – I bought only 1 (Triumph about $40). I buy the rest from Target as I then knew my size.
I think some Myer stores have fitters as well who can fit you for free.
Hope this helps!
Thanks PJ, I will keep it in my head when I go to city 😀
