I have been a petite girl, in every way, my entire life. I am now 33, 5'3 and 125 lbs. Pre pregnancies I was 100 lbs and a 34B. I WAS between a 34/36 full B cup after my first two children, but after nursing my third baby (and losing much needed weight), I am now a deflated 34 A!

My ex husband and I were teenagers when we had our first child. You can just imagine what having a baby at 17 will do to a little body! My breasts were sad little deflated water balloons afterward! When we were having our second child at 19, I cried and was terrified at the thought of what this pregnancy would do to my body as well. (I know, it's very superficial but I was young and shallow!)
My mother-in-law (at the time) suggested that I didn't breastfeed my second child. She claimed to have not breastfed her second saying that "her breasts regained some fullness and normalcy". Being the shallow person I was, I took her advice! Would you believe it actually worked?! It was great at the time, but now I live with the guilt of not nursing my child for a selfish reason. :( ANYWAY...
My plan was to NOT have anymore children! Well...
After my divorce I met my current husband and we got pregnant almost instantly! My baby is now 13 months and I DID in fact breastfeed her for 12 of those months. I now have a 15, 13, and 1 year old, along with the 10 and 5 year old stepchildren. I am a very busy mommy! After having my baby girl I decided to quit my job of 7 years to stay home with her.

Pre (final) pregnancy I weighed 145-150 lbs and was a 34/36 full B. Now I am 125 lbs and shriveled up to a 34 A! It is disappointing and discouraging. :(
It is hard to feel sexy or much like a woman at this point.
I feel like it is MY TIME to do something for myself. What better gift for me than a new and improved set? Haha!
As of right now I am leaning toward 425 CC silicone gel implants over the muscle. I have made and worn homemade rice sizers (even in public as recommended by my PS and her team) and I am torn between 425 and 450 CC. My sizer appointment is tomorrow so we shall see!
I have already scheduled my surgery appointment for November 11th!
So much excitement!!! :D

Thanks for sharing :) I too am 33, and had children young (at 16, 18, 23 and 31!) as I read on I see we have some things in common! I'm 5'5 125 lbs and thinking 325 cc and am in the midst of researching for "me" time, wow is there ever a lot of information to sift through to make this decision! I'm hoping to have my appt. in Feb. Looking forward to your updates, you must be getting excited, less than a month away!

Wow! That is awesome how much we have in common! :) I was initially reluctant about posting so much information and PICTURES on here... Oh the pictures haha! However, I am glad I did. :) It truly gives people within this support group so many more platforms to come together on. This is probably the coolest sight I have ever been on. :) I found SO much information on here and found that all the pictures have really helped as well. Following similar stories make us feel less alone and selfish in our journey got sure! :) I am ver happy and excited to hear you are taking the leap! Two of my conservative cousins had it done as well and they are extremely happy and it has given them a wonderful boost of confidence too! Not that you would have ever guessed that they needed that with their happy-go-lucky selves haha! The BEST advice I can give you is to research your brain to death! Hahaha! Just when you think you have seen MORE than a lifetimes worth of breast implant procedure pictures, look some more! I looked on about 30 different PS websites across the country searching out the closest stats and breast look to mine so I could get a good idea of what I MAY look like, although it's never exact. Please make sure you use a board certified PS, it's not a garuntee , but it lessens the chances of complications tremendously! Although you probably already know this. Haha ;) When I went into my consultation, the ONLY thing I didn't already know was about "the snoopy boob". Haha! Funny name, but not so funny if it was to happen to me, which is why I decided to go over the muscle. I was originally set on under. The staff said that I knew more than most patients coming in. Hahaha! I like to be well equipt when walking into serious situations. ;) I look forward to going through this journey with you and hope that my experience will help you in some way. :) Please feel free to ask any questions. I am so excited for you!!! :D

Funny story...
After my consultation (about a week ago) I made some rice sizers at home and wore them around. I felt like the 400ml was too small, the 425 was pretty spot on, and the 450 was almost too big! So when I brought the sizers into my sizing appointment today I found out that the 450ml was actually 500ml! Hahaha! No wonder it seemed so big! Lol
The rice sizers are very different than the actual implants themselves! I mean, that's a given, but when I stuffed my 34D bra with a 500cc implant...
I was very pleased! I was initially torn between 475cc and 500cc (both moderate plus, round, smooth silicone gel) but after a lot of wardrobe changing, implant swapping, and talking to the amazing staff, I decided to stay with the 500cc. I will get used to bigger boobs, but if I go too small I know I will always wish I had gone bigger. That's my point of view anyway! ;) I can't believe I am going to have boobs in three weeks!!! :D Soooooo exciting!
