35, 2 Kids, AA or Less to 420cc, Mod Pro Silicone *6 month post pic!*

Hello all! First off, RealSelf is AWESOME. It is so great to hear all of the comments and experiences. So...here is my experience thus far. I would love to hear words of wisdom & encouragement, similar stories, etc.

I have been small busted my entire life. I have always been skinny or lean or thin - varying at different times. I am extremely athletic, am a personal trainer and a group fitness instructor. I value health, fitness and wellness very highly. And, my body is front and center all of the time.

I have thought about getting implants as an abstract, dream thought (out there - in the future) for as long as I have been an adult. Then I had my 2 beautiful children and enjoyed pregnancy boobs and nursing boobs SO much (I got up to a full C)!!! I breast fed each of my children for 13 months. Before I had kids I was maybe a small B and now after nursing and possibly leaning out a bit, I am a AA - if that. I have gone back and forth, back and forth on the concept. Going from "hell yes!" to "I could never put something foreign in my body."

The past year I have been considering it more and more as I get older, the kids get older and I just see people around me, including good friends, getting them and LOVING it. The past 6 months, I have had many conversations, done research, etc. and my desire to get them got stronger. And....here we are - scheduled for 2 weeks out! I plan on getting Submuscular, Smooth, Round, Cohesive Silicone - 420 CCs (although this will be finalized the day of surgery).

I think that the road to this decision is not a straight one. So many factors converged to get me to this point. I am done with kids. I am almost 35. We can afford it. I loved them when I had them temporarily. My breasts certainly aren't going to look any better as I get older - only worse. This is the one thing about my body I cannot change on my own. I am so excited but at the same time, have this uncertainty in me (can you tell)? Like I feel my reasons aren't good enough! Am I making the right choice? What if I regret it? What will my parents think (BIG ONE)?

I can't wait to hear from all of you!

It has been a huge point of anxiety to tell my parents about this. They are cool people, but conservative and I just knew they'd disapprove. Of course, this isn't their decision, but still, you look for some form of acceptance/understanding in them. Instead of sitting them down to tell them (and make it such a "big deal" out of it), my husband and I thought it would be better for me to simply call my mom. Tell the female first! I was so nervous, I hung up a few times!

BUT - she was completely accepting and understanding of it! She said that she thinks I am beautiful the way I am, but understands my decision. She empathized with me about areas we cannot fix on our own. I couldn't believe it! Very cool about it all.

So - some of you said that I might be surprised at how supportive she would be and you were right! I cannot tell you how relieved this makes me feel. My dad still doesn't know, so I need to decide how I want to do this. She offered to tell him for me. Either way I feel 100x better. :)
