So, I am a Mama of three boys, nursed all of them. I have always been a small chested gal, and it never bothered me being small A maybe a B in certain styles. Well then I had kids hahah. I went from an A to DD when I was nursing, then back down to an A-B do that THREE time and you end up with deflated breasts. So now that we are done having kids, I've lost weight, got in shape (well that's always a work in progress) it time to give a little TLC to the gals that fed my 3 boys. I am 5'5 and 130 pounds, trying to get off a couple more before my surgery.

I have had two pre op appointments. The frirst one was to meet the Dr and staff and talking abut the surgery, what I want, what to expect, learn about the Dr and his qualifications ect. The second apt was doing paper work, paying for the surgery and deciding on a size of implant / the desired look.

So of course I have been going through a lot of anxiety and questions, and second guessing. I know this is what I want, and I don't feel guilty, my poor ladies need a little umph, but I am so unsure of the outcome, possible complications, taking time away from my 3 wild boys, WILL I be able to stay low key and not over do it ect. Any Mother with young kids have advice?

Yay! I have two little boys ages 3 and 6, breastfed both, same story. I felt the exact same way....anxiety about going under for the surgery, outcome, etc. But let me tell you - I am SO HAPPY that I went through with it. Like you, I knew I wanted to but in reality, couldn't believe I was actually going to do it. I am thrilled. Mine are really high up, and they're beginning to drop, but because I don't want to flaunt mine, I'm keeping them covered up. It's been 4 weeks tomorrow and Every. Time. I get undressed to get in the shower, or when my husband and I are intimate, I'm so much more confident and I feel like I have these little hidden gems in my shirt that nobody else knows about. haha! You won't regret your choice. You deserve it. :) As for caring for wild boys - yes. My husband helped me pretty much nonstop for 3 days with them. Having said that, the day after surgery I was with my mom and helping her that afternoon and she had no idea that I'd had surgery. I was able to work 2 days post op. With the boys, I just had to remind them that "I wasn't feeling well" To not jump on me, be rough with me, etc. It was fine. Good luck!!

Thank you so much for such an encouraging post!! I am glad to hear that you feel confident, that is so awesome. I love that you have been able to keep them to your self when you want to and then be able to enjoy them when the time is right. That exactly what I want. I don't mind if people know, but I am around children a lot as a teacher, helper ect and I just want to be able to have a modest look when needed. Thanks again!

Thank you!! I am s anxious abut the CC. I go back and forth all the time, not wanting to be too big but also wanting to be able to fill out the deflated skin. But I think I'm not alone, seems like most women go through these same mixed emotions. Its definitely a big choice, but in the end I really do trust my Dr. I will talk to him more about it before surgery. That's great to hear that you are happy with your results!! Yay!!!

Yes, trust the doc. In the end, the difference in CCs is actually so small that it wouldn't even be noticeable, yet we fret over the size so much. Unless you were deciding to go huge --that would be a huge decision. But around 400 seems perfect. The reason we worry about size is that we don't want to regret our choice. Mine are the smallest implants I've seen on here, but when I compare them to what I had before, I rejoice!!!

Thank you!! What did you go with size wise?
December 9, 2013
read my day by day. Im older than you, but was scared to death.. I am shocked how much easier it was than I thought. You will not be able to be up lifting and cooking even though you will feel up to it.... so plan ahead pizza, mac and cheese, cereal everyone will survive. You do NOT want to over do it. I felt good and could have tried more but had good medical friends who made sure I took it easy.

I sure will!! That's nice to hear that it went smoothly, so happy for you! I do have a tendency to over do it. I was cooking, cleaning, doing laundry the day I came home from having baby #3. Its so hard to take it easy as a Mom, there's not shut off button, lol. But I don't want to mess up my results or no heal properly so I am going to do my very very best. Thank God for the Schwan's man ;) hahah Thanks for your post :)

This is why I went to where my sis lives to have my BA-healing time without my kids. I missed them but it was so much easier.
