just under 2 weeks to go...

Hi everyone - I am having my ba on 25th Feb at Transform's Abbey Riverside. With only 12 days to go I am starting to feel really worried about the whole thing. It's the only thing I can think about and I am forever wondering if I have made the right decision.
I know many of you girls must have felt like me but I feel at the moment, one minute I am worrying and the next I have a rush of excitement.

I have a few worries, one being size... I have been offered 310cc and 365cc and I am worrying that 310 will be too small and 365 will be too big. I am currently a 32C and I would love to look a DD.

My other worry is complications during and after the BA. I know this is something that I am putting myself through but I can't help but worry as I have a baby. I feel like I am being selfish going through this when I have a little one incase something goes wrong. My boyf isn't that great when it comes to my expressing my feelings, he just tells me that if something does go wrong there is not much I can do - which as you can imagine, isn't all that reassuring!

I am also worrying about how I am going to cope with the little one after my ba. My boyf doesnt live with me, I live on my own with my baby and I know there are going to be days where I am on my own. not many people know I am doing this. I have booked a week off work after but tbh I am wondering if going into work might be easier than staying at home. I seem to do less at work, I never stop when I am at home. lol.

I just want it over with now. I can sense a few sleepless nights on the horizon. I have been constantly looking at my boobs over the past few days wondering if I am doing the right thing and deep down, I know I am. I hate mine at the moment and I do think it'll give me the confidience boost I need.

Sorry for going on girls. xx

Hi Hun,

I know exactly how you are feeling, my BA is booked for next Friday 18th Feb and I'm also swaying between excitement and total dread. From reading lots of other posts it seems that these feelings are very common and completely natural, especially as you have a baby to think of. For about a week now I've been having nightmares about the big day and imagining the worst, but I just remind myself of why Ive made this choice. You know what your reasons are for booking the op, and those reasons remain the same despite you feeling worried and nervous.

I would strongly suggest that you arrange for family or a friend to come over every day for the first week, as I've been advised not to move my arms away from my sides or lift anything (not even a kettle) for the first week. I think this will make you feel calmer about your recovery, and you won't have to worry about how your going to manage with your little one.

Also it will help if you prepare lots before the big day- cook meals u can freeze and reheat, get all your clothes and toiletries at arm level so you don't have to reach for anything, and plan lots of vists from family so they can help you wash your hair, tidy the house etc
