18 Weeks

Apparently this week my nipples are getting much bigger and could eventually cover half of my breast. Errrrrrr ... well not so far and I sincerely hope they don't!

I booked an appointment tomorrow with a Massage Therapist. Can't wait. I stopped visiting the Chiropractor back in January because I'm concerned about any bruising that may occur internally while I'm taking the Fragmin. Whether this is related, I've been getting quite alot of headaches since. Of course, 2nd Trimester of pregnancy causes headaches anyway so it is hard to know, but along with the headaches my muscles, particularly those in my shoulders, have become really tense. Massage, I hope, will take that tension out and hopefully ease the headaches which are always in the back of my neck and often caused by the muscles spasm'ing there. Also it's a rather nice luxury during pregnancy to ease away the strain put on ones back by the ever increasing weight at the front, so I'm rather excited about starting this and hopefully will continue it throughout the next few months.

Well, I suppose you would set a Guinness world record for the largest nipples in the world if they grew that big! I'd have to imagine that's more likely to happen to flatter women, though ... I guess if you really want to research it, you could do a comprehensive survey of the numerous Web sites with naked pictures of pregnant women and see what the range of nipple coverage is. Somehow I doubt you'll do that :-)
