Honestly, I’m way happier with this one from Target 🤷 Mainly because it’s a one-piece, even though I kept complaining about how much of a nightmare it would be to get on and off while I'm pregnant 😉. The cut is kind of like those vintage bodysuits Cher used to wear... reminds me of her style... just in black. I haven't actually tried out a tankini at the beach yet. As for the other one I ordered—it’s actually pretty great, really, I can't complain... except maybe their E cup feels like it runs at least one size smaller than our standard US E. Everything else is solid though, the fabric and the quality feel good. Luckily the width is fine, so I can still squeeze into it. Oh, and yeah, I grabbed the bottoms a size smaller than the top... thank God I did. I definitely carry more weight up top than down below.
So, I picked up two swimsuits at Target. One's a tankini and the other is a one-piece. Honestly, looking at the quality, I can't really tell if they're any better than that one-piece I got last summer that was basically $167. Taking these two together, they're just $80. And man, there are like $17 options out there... plus, yeah, size 50...
Go ahead and tell me, but you better throw in a size comparison right away—like, use some famous bra brands we actually know, maybe something like Victoria's Secret or maybe even more high-end stuff like Agent Provocateur... 😉
Hey Ane, I think someone dropped a link for bras a few pages back.. let me go dig for it.. So, I got that one—that bodysuit thing mentioned above. The cup size is an E, but honestly, if I’m comparing it to how we size things here in the States (like at Victoria's Secret), I’d say it feels more like a smaller D. It helps that the actual cut is wider, so I can sort of squeeze myself into it, I guess.. As for the panties.. oh man.. talk about a total letdown. And the kicker? They actually fit okay.. but they're like twice the size of my usual ones.. super weird.. Anyway, top is a 26, bottom is a 24 .. ordered from Bonmarché online.. basically the UK.. which, regarding what you asked, I'd probably stick to German sites. It feels like our sizing standards here are most similar to theirs..
Thanks for those links you sent earlier, I'll definitely check them out..
Sweet.. so, what’s the deal with pregnancy checkup prices? Like, how much does a standard one run versus a 3D scan.. and do you think they'd be cool about just flipping on the 3D for a few minutes during a regular visit without charging an extra fee? Also, I know those swabs at private clinics can get pretty pricey.. anyone have a clue what the rates are looking like? Maybe just for the strep test?
So, has anyone been in for an appointment with Dr. Šparac lately? I’m just wondering about the whole "what do I wear" situation. Like, what kind of gear do they give you for the exam? Do they hand over a disposable gown, maybe a little skirt or something? If not, where do you actually change compared to where the exam table is? Do you just stay in your regular clothes?
Also, quick question about the setup—is there just one monitor facing the doctor, or is there a second screen behind us too?
And one more thing... since I'm pregnant, can my husband come into the exam room with me?
Hey Amanda Fisher63, wait, which number are you actually rocking up top versus down below? And what's the bra size? I think I totally lost the thread in those last few posts... As for the P&C stuff, if you aren't in a massive rush, just hang tight for the sales hitting in a couple of days...
I used to hunt for those breezy sundresses too, but honestly, ever since I moved into E cups, they just aren't even on my radar anymore...
