30 Year's Old, 4 Kids, Breastfed All 4. Small A Before Kids, Feel Like a Flat-chested 10 Year Old Girl After All Kiddos. - CO

About keeping it secret -- I went from a 30A to a 30D and I teach yoga and some of my students didn't even notice!! It's easy to hide if you want to (you think it's obvious to others because it's such a big change for YOU) and they are fun to flaunt when you want to. And the recovery is doable with pain meds. Some women only feel as much pain as sore muscles. I had overs, so I felt no pain at all, only discomfort and engorgement. Now I'm going for a revision with unders, so I'm facing your fear also. Best of luck to you on this journey. Be prepared to be emotional now and right after, even if you are in love with the results. That, coupled with not being able to pick up the baby is going to be troubling, just know that "this too shall pass" and things will return to normal and you will have beautiful additions!! They are worth the expense and stress, let me tell you, just get thru the hard part and then smooth, fun sailing.

Good luck tomorrow!!!!!! Wishing you all the best with little pain!

Good luck tomorrow! Sending positive energy your way!

Good morning Seasider, congratulations on your BA! Quit adding jobs! I'm glad you have some help but now is not the time to be superwoman! The laundry can wait, so can the floor! I know it's hard, but your health and sanity is more important. What advice would you give if someone else asked the same thing? Probably the same advice! You could cut those extras in half by only doing every other one that pops in your mind, little trick I did after my 2nd baby! Get some rest! We're here for you!

Hey. I own a cleaning company. I thought after 2 or 3 weeks I would be OK to go back to work. I was so wrong. I work full time on another job and do the cleaning at night and weekends. The first job, I swept, mopped and dusted. I paid for it. I was so exhausted and so sore, it really was not worth it. You can change diapers and fold laundry without too much effort. But you do not need to be sweeping. That is too much motion on your new girls this soon. You have got to remember, it may have been elective surgery, but that does not lesson the impact on you physically and emotionally. Only you care about the floor, it can wait. I over did it and it put me right back to square 1 for recovery. You will only delay your healing if you don't slow down. I cannot imagine how hard that would be with 4 little ones. But you have some help, use it. Your 7 and 4 year old can help more than you realize. Maybe the 7 year old won't sweep the way you do, but they can sweep. The 4 year old may not fold exactly the way you want, but they can match socks and roll them up. Pay that babysitter just a couple of extra dollars to help with dishes and laundry. Now that you have been properly scolded............it's OK honey. We all get overwhelmed. As wife's and mothers, we are the care takers, always taking care of everyone else. It's very difficult, if not impossible, with 4 small children, to sit back and allow someone to not only take care of them but take care of you too. But it's only temporary honey. You will get back to normal and be better than ever because you feel better about yourself. Try to relax and rest. Let the kids crawl up beside you to watch their favorite cartoon or read their favorite book. Put a pillow in your lap and let the baby lay on it. You have 4 small children, you already are super woman. You can do this, I know you can.
