Telling Mum -update!!

So I know I told you girls (in a very old post) that I was never going to tell my mum, she's all organic and would have a heart attack if she heard that I had implants.
WELL I'm getting married in March and so we went dress shopping. The following is a play of what happened:


MUM: "Why can't you get this dress zipped up? have you gained weight?"
ME: "No"
MUM: "Well do you have a padded bra on that you can take off?" (i had been wearing a tank top under the dress)
ME: "No"
MUM: "Then where did those boobs come from??"
ME: [no answer, just look guilty at mum]
MUM: "Oh Alexandra [shakes head]"
and THEN we just go on with dress shopping!!

-next day-

I explained to her that my boobs were slightly tuberous, and no one had explained this to me (even my GP) so I always thought they were just small.

She was SO UNDERSTANDING that I had had a slight deformity and that was why I was so obsessed and stressed over my boobs my whole life. She's so pleased that I'm happy and "fixed" now.



I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT SHE'D BE HAPPY FOR ME AND SHE IS

thank you girls for all your support in the meantime though, i love u all!

aw this is news chuft to bits for you xx

that should be great news!!

Awwww this was so lovely to read Alexandra. I'm so glad for you that you were able to her xxx

congrats hun! thats such great news xx

Yaaaaay that's fab news :) xxxxxx

I laughed my head off picturing that scene! Made up for you though. There's some family members of mine I never expected to support me, but like you said, when you say they were deformed (mine were too!) they just sorta go 'ahh' and just get it!x

Exactly! I'm so happy! My mum was asking why I"d never told her - I didn't know!! No one told me they were tuberous until I went to the plastic surgeon!

such a relief I don't need this to be between us for the rest of our lives!!

Loved that story Alexandria and loved the outcome! x

Awww such a nice post Hun, glad she's all ok with it :-) xx

Aw brilliant, so pleased tor you xx

Had to read this again this morning. Its such a proper feel good story - great for starting the new year reading! x

Aww that's such a lovely story, so pleased to hear its all out in the open!! :-) I'm pretty nervous about telling my mum that I want them done but your story has given me so much hope!! Xx

Woohoo! Result.. Happy wedding dress shopping!!! I'm not married but I did a wedding photo shoot and had to wear this awful dress and when I was being put in to it all they did was moan at how small I was up top and didn't fill it out enough even with a bra on! I was furious but didn't want to tell them I was having them done, made me come home to my oh and cry my eyes out telling him I never want to be in a wedding dress all eyes on me on what's supposed to be our big day!! Soo big congrats and enjoy :) xx

Awww char, you should go back next month and ask to try the same dress on! Haha. Xx

That's so lovely I'm really happy for you xxx

Aww thats so sweet i actually had tears in my eyes! Im sort of in the samr boat in that i dont really want to tell my mum about it but reckon if she also knew i had a deformity she would understand. Im just sort of lost atm but im so pleased it all worked out for you lovely! X x x x x

I can't even begin to tell you girls how YOU ALL got me through the last 2 years from the point when I was still thinking of doing it, through the operation and after. The frankenboobs stage, the dropping and fluffing that ACTUALLY finally happened!!

This is the best support system I could have asked for!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hun that is fab to hear. That must be a huge weight off your shoulders. I have been on here since you have and its such a lovely ending to hear.

Oh yes vicci I remember you too! You're looking BRILL hunni! I LOVE that bra!!!!! Always great to see some of the oldtimers haha (not that old I guess since there were girls on here years before us).

Ha ha what a brilliant way to get it out can you tell my mom now please lol xx

LOL sure Scatty what's her phone number?? haha

I truly thought she'd disown me and stop speaking to me forever. They can surprise you, can't they?

I've still to tell mine lol every time I sat down and got ready the phone would ring or kids would come running in and I never got round to it. Was she angry that you didn't tell her before? I'm worried more that I've lied than telling them now cause I ended up in hosp after reaction to ga and they don't know about any of it!! We went shopping for Xmas and I tried a jumper on she laughed and said that makes your boobs look bigger I nearly wet myself shutting the curtain ha ha
