How to get the right size of Blue to red acid (BRA)?

Blue to red acid is the codeword we used during schooldays for BRA hee hee. Anyway I wanted to write an article about it in women's section in my prev office before I quit. But I cudnt at that time. It might look trivial, I know there are cup sizes A,B, C, D when I read an article in outlook, during my PG not too late (!!??###@@**) but still, most of the girls r so shrewd, they knew this already. This blog is dedicated to those who didnt have an idea abt it.

During pregnancy, definitely u may need to change your bra. Though the below measurement is suitable for most of the ppl, for some it may differ. This is the usual, typical measurement. I guess it will atleast help to choose.

All you need is an inch tape. You need to measure 2 variables (!!??).1.Bra size and
2. cup size.
Measure under your breast, I mean its the measurement around your chest under your breast. Take this measurement and add 5 to it, will give you the bra size. If it is an odd number add 1 to it, make it even, For example, if that measurement is 26 + 5 will give you, 31, so you can try either 32 or 30, try both the sizes to find the right fit.

To find the cup size, measure around your fullest part of the breast (usually over the nipples). Subract this measurement with the one you find for your bra size, this will give you the cupsize. For example if it is 34, 34-32 will give you 2inches. So you can try B cup. Below is the table to give you the idea about cup sizes.

0 -1/2 inch - AA
1/2 - 1 inch - A
1 - 21/2 inch - B
21/2 -31/2 - C
31/2 - 41/2 - D
41/2 - 6 - DD or E
6 - 7 - DDD or F
7 - 8 - G and so on...

Or to make it simple,
1 inch - A
2 inch - B
3 inch - C
4 inch - D
5,6,7 - DD, DDD, DDDD respectively
8 - FF
9 - G
10 - H, 11 -I, 12 - J.....

To sum it up, find the band or frame size, add 5 to it, make it even by adding or subtracting one, try both the sizes.
find the bust size, subract it with bra size, difference gives u the cup size.

Example : Band size = 28 + 5 = 33 (try either 34 or 32)
Bust size = 36 -> 36 - 32 = 4 inch, so the cup is D try 34 D or 32 D..
voila I guess u got the right size!

First 6 weeks

Its a planned one in my case. We can calculate the ovulation period, 12-16days prior to your menstrual period, Or 14 days after the menstual period, If you want to calculate it pakka, you have fertility equipment for that, u can even decide girl or boy which one you want, by exactly calculating these things, I guess most of us knew these stuffs, Internet makes the world so small.

I dont have any symptoms like vomitting, nausea, morning sickness (lucky me) in the first 30-35 days but my breast become tender and sore, bumps on the areola which is called montgomery glands are visible. Just on the 31st day when I did EPA test at home, its positive.

After 40 days, I have this dizziness and vomitting sensation. Taste is changing day by day. One day I like rice, another day I hate it even the look of it. Smell of mustard seeds, tamarind taste irritates me sometimes. Even agarbathi smell which I luv before pregnancy.

Constipation is another problem. Have to take more fluid, fibrous food. Hot water and Hot milk helps a lot for constipation. And for dizziness mom told me to have Rice, hotwater, salt combo..it works well yesterday. But till today I feel full, didnt feel like eat anything.

On 6 week went to the doctor, they did the same urine test and confirmed it. Other that we did blood test to know Hb count and stuffs, waiting for the result. Its like you should see the doc every month in the beginning of your pregnancy, and then near delivery its weekly once, which is what i heard from the doctor.

Will post what to do, what not to do in my next post..till then byeee.
