Will my nursing THO ever go away?

[farsk]

Hello Everyone!

Well, sorry if this is way too much TMI, but I need to know.

Yesterday, I ventured out without nursing pads for the first time. We went shopping, and I was trying on cute spring clothes, knits, etc. and when I came out of the dressing room, well, lets just say that someone may have asked if it was a little chilly in there.

I never had this problem before baby. I'd like to curtail my nursing pad use since the girls hardly ever leak now, but not to the point of looking obscene (though I do remember the episode of Sex and the City where Miranda had the little plastic thingys on her breasts to achieve just this look).

Anyway, thanks for your help!

LOL! I think I know what you mean, and the answer is yes. You will most likely get to the point (or lack of :) ) where you were before, but it takes a while.

Hello!

THO=Tit Hard On

At least according to my DH

hahahahahaha!

[papal]

I think I am sorry I asked. muhahahahaha!
Seriously girls, did EVERYONE else know what a THO is??? I am so not up to date with americanisms.

[COElizabeth]

I didn't know that, but I gathered what she meant from the reference to looking cold!

I thought it was Tit Headlights On!

In highschool we called it NEFNAR. Nipple erection for no apparent reason.

ROFLMAO! especially the discussion about the acronym.

i was complaining about this just the other day. pumping really brings it on -- for 2-3 hours afterwards. ironically, my nursing problems probably originated from flat nipples. guess we fixed that!

HAHA..I didn't know that either. Good to know, before I join the nursing world. LOL

eri and the bean, due in three weeks or so :)

It was for this reason I never stopped wearing nursing pads until we weaned. And yes, I was familiar with the acronym before the discussion ;).

Ah yes, the nursing induced THO, it's like Viagra ;) I still have that, but it goes away quicker now (about 15-20 minutes after nursing). I hope things get smoother for you ;)

We nurse only 1-2 times per day and it is still a problem. I recently bought some non-nursing bras and chose a lightly padded style for that reason...

My nipples have always been ... exhuberant. :P And I didnt know what THO meant either, Rashmi.
