Sudden boobie growth is a pregnancy sign that most people who have not gone through pregnancy don't know about. But it is a powerful signal to the people that do know. Before I had read up on pregnancy, I had no idea. Once I knew, however, I was very attuned to the boobies of the women I knew who were trying to conceive. Of course, that was the sign on myself that spurred me to take that first pregnancy test. And I pegged my friend D.'s pregnancy very early on (she denied it when I asked her directly at the time -- told me she was wearing padded bras -- but recently confessed to me that I was right after all).
When I was out to dinner with M. & G. just before Christmas, we told them about the baby and M. said "I knew it! Your boobs are huge!" Last week was the funniest, though. I went to a book group meeting, and I hadn't made a meeting for several months due to work conflicts. I had decided to tell them about my pregnancy, so as soon as Heather asked "How are you doing?" I answered, "Pregnant!" Heather and Stacey -- the two Moms in the group -- both said they knew the second I walked in the door. I was ratted out by my Boobies.
Unless things have changed, Sears had the best maternity bras and nursing bras that I ever found. Of course it has been a few years..... M
