32 Years, 3 Kids, Can't Wait for my BA

ORIGINAL POST

I've always wanted to have breast implants someday...

I've always wanted to have breast implants someday because I've always been a very small A?...probably more of an AA! I can't even blame my 3 kids, whom I breastfed (singleton and twins). I have a petite frame at 5'3" 123 lbs. but still the lack of boobies is frustrating because I always am struggling with wearing a lot of padding or enhancers to fill out my clothing properly. I've worked really hard through regular exercise and long distance running to keep my figure, but this is one area I will not be able to solve myself. My hubby has always been more of a butt guy.....but we've been together since we were 19 so I don't think he knows any better :)

I'm scheduled for BA on Jan 6th because we have so much going on in the fall....but it can't come soon enough!

One thing I'm struggling with though is that my 5 year old will definitely notice that there has been a change.....any suggestions on how to talk to her about it without having to have her think about body image, etc.

Congrats on scheduling your BA and being a mom of twins! I'm a mom of 7 yr old twin boys. I told them I was having surgery I the area and pointed in general to my upper body. My husband had gotten a vasectomy a few months earlier so they understood what surgery was and that I wouldn't be able to move around much and I asked them for help with lifting/ carrying things. I wore hoodies the first few days but then wore tank tops and they never said a thing. My boo a couldn't have been more out there and they still haven't said a thing. I'm not sure of it's because they are boys but it was a non-event for them. I am still in disbelief because I, too, was stressing over the right thing to say as I wanted to be sure to not give any false notions about female bodies. I'm interested to hear how your daughter reacts to whatever it is you share with her about yours. Best of luck to you!!

Sorry for the typos- my "boobs" couldn't have been more out there.....and ironically at eye level for them, lol!

I definitely will share when the time comes around....I am probably just worrying about it too much. Usually when parents make a big deal out of things, the kids just sort of take it in stride. Thanks for sharing!

I know, I worried a bit too and if they were girls would probably worry even more. Best of luck to you and happy nesting.....you have lots of time to do that :)

Congrats!! We are surgery twins :) I'm scheduled for the 6th as well, and I can't believe it. I also have a daughter who will be turning 4 in March and she doesn't miss a thing, so that is a concern of mine as well. I'm similar to you in that I'm active and athletic and have a healthy body image, and my take on it is that it's only an issue if you make it an issue. At least for me, I know that I've been a positive role model for healthy lifestyle choices and although there are certainly things about my body that I am not completely in love with, she has only ever heard me talk about my body in a positive way-- I'm strong, I'm healthy, I'm active, I take good care of my body, etc etc...... so I think that's what matters most. When she's older, if she asks me about it, then I'll have an honest conversation with her about it, but for now, I'm sort of wondering what words I'll choose to speak to her about it as well. We're in it together :)

8 days pre

Getting closer to surgery date!

With being so focused on the holiday activities, it is just now sinking in (having sent off the last of the house guests) that my BA is in 8 days! So, I'm starting to make my various lists....here is what I have so far...any other suggestions? Some Info on the surgery....I have to go in this week and pay for the procedure and I'll probably also do a last size check. Probably going with 325-345 cc range, but wanted to try on sizers again. My procedure will be through sedation.
I'm moving this awesome auto-recline lazy-boy chair from my twins room into my bedroom for sleeping options. I splurged and bought it when I had the twins for nursing and it is awesome! It's one of those man chairs with auto recline, cup holders, remote storage, and a built in heater!
Since we have 3 kids 5 and under, my mom will be coming the night before to help with them out my hubby when they aren't at daycare. He took some sick time so he will also have the week off. Even though I'm going to be recovering, we are looking forward to a bunch of movie watching time, etc :)
I'm debating on if I should buy any front closure bras (without underwire) before the surgery, or should I wait and see what is comfortable after I get my wrap off. I have large sports bras from when I was a c cup when I was still breastfeeding, so those are my backup I guess.
I have healing salve for my scars, ibuprofen and Tylenol, good water bottles.
Besides getting ahead on laundry, cooking, house stuff, I'm not sure what else I need. Any tips?

I'll do before and after pics next week.

Hi! I'm so sorry no one replied before your surgery. You seemed to have everything you need for your post surgery recovery. How are you doing? How did it go? The "man chair" you have sounds awesome! I took the low-maintenance approach post surgery- no fancy creams, vitamins, oils or foods to address the swelling or scarring and mine came out great. I hope you're doing well and can't wait to get an update when you're feeling up to it!
