My surgery is one week away. I can't wait, but I'm nervous. I figured I would share my story to help ease my nerves.


I am a housewife and mother of 3 girls, 11,9 and 6. I breastfed them all for about 2 years. I have always expressed my desire for wanting a breast augmentation after I was done nursing and having children. We decided last year that we were done having children.


I was a full DD when nursing, sometimes a DDD. Before I got pregnant I was a B. I have wanted to get a Breast augmentation since I was a teenager. I was always smaller and wanted to be bigger. I would joke that nursing allowed me to try on different sizes so I would know what I want when the time came.
Well now the time has come. I have surgery next Wednesday, the 17th.


I look forward to getting them filled back up. I'm apprehensive about what to tell my girls and when to tell them. I'm not saying anything yet. Hopefully I will know what to say when the time comes.
I have arranged a sleepover for the initial weekend that I'm recovering. My husband has arranged his schedule so he can take them to school and pick them up and be home with them in the afternoon.
I feel like I'm nesting. I cleaned and organized my kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, etc. I'm in the process of making foods so they can just heat them up while I'm down.


I'm looking forward to being nice and full. I can't believe that the time has finally come.

Wow only 1 week it will fly by!!! I too have three girls aged 9,8 and 6 !!! I had my surgery yesterday and was soooo nervous too but it's not half as bad as I was expecting pain wise at all!!! My kids were at school too so it worked out well. I had to tell my girls too about my op, but you know kids are funny I sat them all down and said mummy is having an operation tomorrow as I want my boobs to be bigger as they got really small after having you three beautiful girls! Well my 9 year old said yeah I know mum I've heard you talking, my 8 year old said, ok so you won't be taking us to school tomorrow and my 6 year old, went oh and ran away!!! Lol. Good luck for your surgery and look forward to your updates and pics!! :)

Wish I was having the nesting feeling. I'm too busy looking up other people's stories to be bothered with cleaning. I'll be sorry later. You're the day after me, so I'll be following your story!

I'm obsessed with boobies too.When I get on the computer, I'm reading stories and looking at pictures. It's great to be able to share our stories with women who are going through the same thing!

My kids were roughly that age when I had my first BA in 2007. I sat them down and explained that all my life I wanted bigger breasts and not for another individual but for myself. I explained that there were things about my body that I could change on my own (i.e. lose weight, hair color, or even my clothes). However the ability to grow bigger breasts was not physically possible without surgical intervention. After allowing them a Q & A session they were comfortable with my decision. My oldest slept next to me after my surgery for a week encouraging me to eat, helping me get dressed and just loving me. It's remarkable how both fragile and strong kids can be. I'm sure if you tell them the truth they will understand. If they are going to be away for a few days and come home to your change just be careful of the youngest. My daughter ran smack dab into my chest with her biggest hug ever and when I yelled out in pain she was terrified she had broken me. It took her a few days to get up the courage to be next to me for more than a minute. It's funny she is 10 now and still talks about how scared she was that she had broken my new boobs!! Check out my post op list you need to have pre-op waiting for you at home. If there is anything I'm missing please let me know. Do you know what your getting? Hp or mod? How many cc? Saline or silicone? Sending pre-op healing vibes your way! Happy healing my sister in saline or silicone!!! Keep us posted with pics as soonas you feel well enough.

So it's been 5 days post op. I underestimated the initial recovery. I am so happy with the final result. I ended up with 380 cc in one side and 420 cc in the other. I recognize myself now in the mirror. I can't express how excited I am that I followed through with this decision! I will post pictures this evening.

My 2 older daughters were very supportive and understanding. My youngest doesn't really understand it, she just said that it looked painful. They have been at a sleepover with their grandma this whole weekend. It has been nice doing absolutely nothing!
