I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
I thought I'd post up some pictures of my 6 months pregnant body and see what you ladies think. (Particularly women who have had children and started dancing/returned to dancing thereafter). I'm 5'2 and I weigh 130 lbs as of today, which is about 18 lbs more than I weighed when I got pregnant. I'm currently in a 36DD. I don't mind hearing some feedback from men about my breasts, because I'm somewhat curious about the male opinion. My breasts have some new stretchmarks on them that I am a bit self conscious about, but other than that I don't mind them. Excuse the tattoo, I had it done at a party when I was 14... big mistake. It will be corrected before I begin dancing. ;D
Do you think my breasts look good enough for dancing? I've become extremely self conscious about their increased size (from a 36B to a 36DD) and the stretch marks bother me too from time to time.
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
You realize that your breasts are going to change further by the time you begin dancing, right?
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
Well... I know that they are going to be a bit bigger, but I'll be breastfeeding while dancing so I don't foresee them looking too much different.
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
I freak out about lactating breasts. Despite saying that your breasts look fantastic.
Slather on lots of Vitamin E oil. This will make the skin more elastic and help to prevent stretch marks.
Again fantastic Tatas! }:D
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
Thank you. For some reason my left breast looks a bit odd in that picture... not typical. I'll have to repost another picture later for comparison purposes. :P
They aren't lactating persay, but they do leak colostrum all over me when I'm horny or sleeping.
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
Could a mod perhaps move this to Body Business for me? I have some more body related questions.
I'm planning on breastfeeding my son for 12-24 months, depending on how well he does. Sure, things could change if he doesn't latch properly, but for now that is my plan. After I stop breastfeeding how bad will my breasts sag/deflate? Will I develop more stretch marks? Is it true that breastfeeding causes more "damage" to your breasts than not breastfeeding? I was planning on pumping after I stop breastfeeding for the duration of my dancing career, which I foresee to be 4-6 years, so that I can have larger, nice breasts without surgery. I don't want my boobies to deflate! I figured I could donate my milk to a milk bank that helps supply cancer patients, gay couples, adoptive parents, and other parents that cannot produce their own milk with natural breastmilk.
Advice? Experience?
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
You have gorgeous breasts. They will be MONEY, MONEY, MONEY at the club. Perfect large natural breasts are a huge seller, guys go nuts over them and will keep buying dances just to be close.
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
Thank you! I flicked my nipples to make them hard, but it backfired and they leaked on me. :(
Do strip clubs keep the temperature cooler to help dancers' nipples stay hard all the time?

Some clubs keep the temp cold, but I doubt its for the benefit of the dancers. Most clubs do very little for the benefit of dancers. If its cold enough to keep nips hard, you'll likely be freezing in your skimpy outfit, until you're on stage, or doing dances.
At least you're up north. I've danced in the deep south when cracked out managers reused to turn on the air. It was a sweaty nightmare, but the custies seem to like that. :P

I don't mean to freak you out but what Elvia said. Your boobs may be completely different by the time you dance. I mean, you look good now. Obviously the tummy is going to be gone. But you don't know for sure how long you will be able to breast feed until the time comes. Some babies struggle with and some women struggle with it. Also some women lose their breasts. One of my best friends was a dancer and had the hottest natural breasts ever... a very very round, perky C before she got preggers and went up to a DD during. After her first baby they literally went down to a not nice AA. I don't want to scare you, but just don't think about this right now. Focus on your pregnancy, your baby and then later when you are ready you can see if your body is also ready. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter anyways since guys like all type of women. We all know all sorts of women bank and its more about the hustle than some perfect boobs.

I'm planning on pumping after I stop breastfeeding so I can keep my breasts for work. I figured I could turn it into a charitable thing and donate my milk to a milk bank to help cancer patients, adoptive parents, etc... basically any parent that cannot provide their child with their own breastmilk. You can get compensated for it by selling it online, but I figured I'd just donate it. Win-win situation... I keep my milk laden breasts for the entire time I'm dancing and someone else gets free breastmilk for their newborn.
I figure I'll only have to pump a few times a day to keep my milk from drying up, and with an automatic hands free breast pump that takes about 5 minutes and won't require me to sit still.

Laurisa,
There's a lot of wisdom in this.
You come across as a very nice person, but you also come across as one fixated on the minutia of dancing.
Maybe lighten up a little and worry about the practicalities of dancing after the little one has arrived?
My two cents.....
Phil.
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
Congratulations!
Im 19weeks pregnant, but wont be returning to dancing after Peanut arrives.
Remember, if you keep lactating you might leak all over custies (my sisters BM flow was so strong she was pumping every hour, if the baby didnt wake for a feed) and I personally wouldnt be comfortable expressing in a SC, specially when it came to storing my milk in their dirty fridges. (although I do work in a dive)
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
I heard that after I can get past week 4 I'll toughen up and not leak so much.
I don't care if I leak on them... mah boobies will make teh monies.
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
^^You won't be leaking by the time you are ready to start dancing. You'll only really leak for the first 2-4 weeks. Make sure you don't go more than 4 hours or so without feeding/pumping tho. (Just take a pump to work and take 15 min in the dressing room to pump.) Also, BF'ing for more than 3 mos will help reverse some of the structural damage pregnancy does. Oh, and after pregnancy the visible veinyness will dissappear. That was the thing that bugged me the most and any stretchmarks should be near invisible.
Your boobs look good and look like they should be fine afterwards. Of course, the girls are right, there are some women who don't fair well for whatever reason, but ime that is pretty rare, so I wouldn't worry much about it. You're young and haven't over-gained so the universe is on your side. ;)
Re: I'll be 6 months pregnant in one week...
Seriously - you have no idea what youll look like post-pregnancy... I dont even want to chance if youll be ok post pregnancy. Your boobs could stay large and look great or they could shrink and sag... your stomach could tighten right back up or it could be saggy with skin. Nobody will know until afterwards.
With me - my boobs got really big while pregnant - a month after having the baby I was down to a AA (not saggy, just small) but I was fortunate that my skin went right back tight so people have a hard time believing I had a baby. Of course I was a teen when I had my daughter and most likely when I have my next since Ill be in my 30s I wont be so lucky! While I save for baby I need to save for post baby surgery.
