Hi..May 19TH BA..Can I still be Mummy?

Hello...
My first post....

I guess when I'm in bed recovering this will be the first place I will come!
Having anxieties now, huge feeling of guilt.
I have always been lucky, small body good sized boobs..
BF my 1st 4 6 months, did some pec muscle exercise and got them back.
BF my 2nd for 12 months..Not so lucky

Got some vey slight sagging, and skin has stretched on the top.
I am having 360cc implants, I don't know which one's precisely but
I do know they have a lifetime guarantee..
Teardrop saline or gel I think...

Things is, I feel bad about my boobs being operated on,
they have been good to me, it sounds odd I know but I was very Mother Earth
with my BF and am worried something could go wrong.

The turning point was the other month, on holiday.
I leant over to get my drink and looked down to see my breast was just empty,
falling out of the bikini top and the skin, well, not good..


The not being able to carry my little Man either will be very difficult..
Then there's the housework, (we are also renovating)
and I will be a bit skint until June for sure so I feel like it's mounting up

Ok moan over! I am looking forward to filling out my old bras (32dd)
and bidding goodbye to my old chicken fillets!
Anybody in a similar position?
I work very hard so taking time out won't be easy and I don't have long so the pressure in on really...

Thanks guys looking forward to your response... :wavey:

I'm sure you'll find quite a lot of us here who had our surgeries due to the effects of breast feeding lovely.

Breast feeding really is the best feeling on earth isn't it, but there then comes a time when us mums need to then think about ourselves and it's not at all wrong or selfish or bad for us to have that...

It's said a happy mum makes for happy children, so in doing this little something special just for you, you gain and so do your children too! There's nothing bad about that is there!

Once you've had this surgery hunni, it's back to the everyday 'mother earth' stuff that all of us mums have to do and it's no easy life!... So enjoy this moment just for you hun, 'cos the rest of your life I'm sure like us all will be dedicated to your children

ive not had children, so i cant say ive experinced what u have!! But i never thort i would be the sort of person to have my boobs done. then i realsied that all sorts of women have boob jobs, for whateer reason and its fine, Do what makes u happy!!! I was a 36dd, lost weight and went to a saggy 34c, that was why i had mine and i cant tell u how much better i feel already!!!

Hi JQueen!

I was in a similar situation to yourself... breastfed 2 babies and was left with nothing more than droopy sacks of skin, during my pre op time I went through a roller coaster of emotions from excitement to fear, to extreme guilt.
Cookie has put it beautifully, happy mom, happy babies... our children not only deserve a happy mother! At one point before my op I was speaking to my mom telling her how worried I was that I was being selfish and she said to me that my mental health was as important as my physical health, she expressed to me if I was so unhappy and lacking confidence becaue of my boobs that I was suffering and if I could fix it and find a new confidence in myself that I needed to do it... and I am so much happier in myself now and I hope that I am a good role model to my daughter by showing her how to be confident and have pride in myself.

AS for the recovery and worrying aboout not taking care of the kids, it is such a small amount of time that after carrying, delivering and caring for your children your truly deserve! The time goes fast and before you know it you will be back to your old routine, just with new and improved boobies!

Hi hun, I felt the same as you pre-op, but like the ladies said, it makes a happy mummy therefore happy smalls. It was hard not picking up my little man but it's only for a really short time. Good luck hun xx

I'm worrying the same at the mo, BA on 25th May, and not sure how I'll cope with my 5yr old. Hoping healing's nice and quick so we can get back to normal. Good luck for Thursday x :thumbs:
