One month check up

What to expect?

Seeing my PS at 2 tomorrow with my almost three year old in tow which could be comical!

A squeeze and a smug look! My 3m was pretty much whip your top off, he had a good feel of them, took some pics, looked pleased with himself and 'any questions'! I'm expecting pretty much more of the same when I go back next month for my 1yr!

That sounds like my kind of appointment,

Do check before you go Franbo if you don't have anyone with you to take care of your toddler that you're able to take them in with you... Some surgeons do not like children in the consultation room without someone else to care for them.

Mine was pretty much the same as Charliis. It more an opportunity for you to speak with your surgeon about any concerns you might have and if you don't you'll be in and out in 10 mins. Xx

Crumbs I didn't think of that...will phone first thing!

Well appointment went fab and PS was happy to have my daughter there thank god, she behaved impeccably.

You're right I was in and out. No issues from either side, he's very happy as am I!

He's happy for me to start a return to normality which is fab but I know to keep an eye out on my body and listen to it.

Also was really filled with support as he basically said that he's an open door for life, any question or query big or small I am just to call and can either speak or see him whenever I want which was fab to hear.

So friggin happy right now xx

Yayyyyyy, all clear - all happy - WONDERFUL NEWS!   

So happy for you Franbo. Xx

Thanks lovely, I knew I felt ok but it's so nice to hear it confirmed as you just have no idea. I know it's still early days in the grand scheme of things but nice to be able to relax xx

He also said I can go and buy bras!!!

Really appreciate the support and advice here, it's been fab and long will I be here!!

Whoopie! Great news!

Thanks!

You're obviously a month ahead of me Mammamia, have you noticed much difference not just in size/shape etc but in how you feel etc?

It is isn't it. And I agree about the confirmation - you just feel amazing!

Little tip for you about bras - don't go mad at first Franbo, just buy what you need, for example I just bought the essential black, white and a nude bra so I had a bra for everything.

You'll be surprised on how things can change still over the next coming weeks with boobs possibly getting bigger. Also don't be surprised if you find the wires hurt at first. This is absolutely normal, with many of us having to 'break our bras in' maybe just wearing for a couple of hours a day until that feels comfortable and then building up that time over the next coming months until you're completely relaxed in them and can go a full day. It's not the same for everybody, but it does happen to a lot of us - happy shopping!

Really appreciate the support and advice here, it's been fab and long will I be here!!

Thanks for the info re bras. I thought that might be the case, may have to buy one pretty one though, the husband is insisting!

I'm waiting though until I go to london next month anyway as we planned a shopping trip pre BA anyway so am going to book an appointment at Bravissimo!

It'll feel strange putting an underwired back on as I generally live in sports bras anyway for work etc.

Yes franbo I've noticed so much difference! size wise I've probably seen the least change between 4 and 8 weeks ( think they stayed the same size) but the shape has definitely got more bottom heavy and less upper pole fullness which was what I was hoping would happen! I feel LOADS different too, stretching is now fine and less pulling and I can do pretty much everything now. Exercise is fine, the only thing I've consciously done differently is any chest work like press ups I'm only doing mini ones. Feel like I could do normal ones, but don't want to risk it!! I went bra shopping at 8 weeks and got completely carried away!! Bit silly but I've loved wearing matching sets and non padded bras!

You'll start to feel loads different over the coming weeks!

Thanks for your update, really interesting to hear.

Hoping I follow in your footsteps over the next few weeks!

Excellent news!!
