Sientra 350cc anatomical upgrade for my 28 y/o girls ;) - Oklahoma City

I am overdue for an update! I have honestly just been really distracted with being pregnant! Ha.

Anyway, I am almost 25 weeks pregnant & I never got around to calling my surgeons office to let them know hubby knocked me up just a couple of weeks post op ha. My surgeon will probably be in for quite a surprise when I go in for my 6 month post op appointment at the end of this month.

Now for the boobs.. The 1st trimester brought with it some extreme sensitivity. I know sensitive is to be expected in early pregnancy, but I'm pretty sure being fresh off the BA operating table took things to a different level. The water in the shower was intolerable for a long time & my poor husband was probably thinking he was never going to get to enjoy my new additions.

During the first trimester & the beginning of the 2nd, my boobs grew substantially. At one point hubby said they were seriously getting bigger every day ha. It has made for quite an extreme change for me since I really hadn't even grown accustomed to my post op boobs yet! On the bright side, once I told people at work I'm pregnant I no longer felt the need to continue the extreme downplay of my now full chest. I can just blame it on the pregnancy! I think the growth has kind of paused for the last few weeks. I've been told they'll grow more in the 3rd trimester though. I've definitely already grown a full cup size.

I forget how much they've grown & the other day I looked at my post op photos & I look so tiny! If my size goes all the way back down I will probably feel like I have small boobs again. I don't particularly want to stay as big as I am now though.

The sensitivity is way better at this point, but my nipples are still overly sensitive. Is that normal at this point in pregnancy? Also, my boobs are now mapped by blue superhighways of veins. Apparently this is normal in pregnancy, but it's less than appealing.

In general I'm still not happy with my shape. Even though I have filled out so much more, I am still conical. This was the thing I pretty much hated the most about my breasts pre op, & I feel that I was very clear about that. I am certainly much improved, but it is still an issue. No way will I wear a tank top w no bra & feel that I have nice breasts. :( I wonder often if I shouldn't have gone w a round implant. It's just so hard to know how that would have looked w my tuberous breasts & no benelli lift.

While I'm on that topic, post op I was initially very happy I didn't go through w the benelli to trim down my areoles. Now that my boobs are much bigger, I do feel they've stretched some. Also, I generally think it would've improved my shape. My areoles are a little puffy & it exaggerated my pointy shape. Also, I am already sagging significantly compared to prior to the pregnancy growth. Of course at this point I have no way of knowing how much any of these things will go back to the way they were initially post op.

To be clear, I had no intentions of getting pregnant within a year of my BA. Apparently God had different plans for us though. I don't regret or resent getting pregnant when I did though. It has just changed what my recovery looked like. I knew someday in the somewhat near future we'd want kids & that it would change my boobies anyway. It's just a little unfortunate that I really can't know what they would've truly looked like! Not a big deal though.

Btw I am having a boy. His daddy is very happy he's getting a little sidekick. :)

I'm not really sure the best way to relay this "story", so I apologize in advance for any rambling.. The night before last, I didn't eat well.. I woke up yesterday morning feeling a bit queasy. Not unheard of when I get way too hungry. I went ahead & ate something small as soon as I got up, & felt a lot better. Just before lunch, I had a huge wave of nausea that felt awful. I looked for some Pepto in the office unsuccessfully & settled for Tums. We had a special lunch planned for our administrative professional & while i felt better, I still had a hard time deciding on what sounded good. I went w a bland turkey wrap & managed to eat about 4 bites of it. This is very unlike me. I love food.. Like REALLY.

After lunch I started feeling worse again. A kind soul went to a nearby store & brought me some Pepto. I felt better & managed to stomach a package of crackers a Sprite & go about my afternoon in a much better state.

I got home & didn't feel great, so I took a Zantac thinking maybe it was my acid reflux. I layed down for a bit & woke up 5 hours later still feeling puny. I went for some Greek yogurt, thinking how empty my tummy must be, then suddenly managed to lose its entire contents in the kitchen sink.

Texted my husband & told him I was sick & didn't know why. I asked him to pick something up for me on his way home from work. At this point I was starting to think pregnancy could be a possibility. I just never get sick like that. I took the test he bought me on his way home.

Much to my surprise, I'M PREGNANT! omg. I couldn't believe it at first. I think I'm still just taking it in. We weren't sure if I could get pregnant or not. I have been off bc for 3.5 years & obvi no baby. We have never "tried" though. Ironically, the one time during this period that I really didn't particularly want to get pregnant l.. wanted to let the girls settle in for a while, and BAM!

Sooo, I'm just over 5.5 weeks post op, & I think about 5 weeks pregnant. Wow. Obviously, it's still super early, & a lot can go wrong. So, we are only telling our closest family & friends for a while. I wanted to share here though, bc I'm sure many women wonder how their body (breasts!) would handle something like this. I guess I'll be your guinea pig! The funny thing is, my surgeon made a comment to me about, "let's just try not to get pregnant for a while." Of course I thought it wouldn't be an issue! If this doesn't tell you how much my husband loves my new boobs, I don't know what would! :-p

I had a nice summary of all my stats pre & post op typed up to include w this update, then my page reloaded & it all disappeared. *sigh* another day then.

I am so excited about a couple of bras that I bought though that I have to share! They are sheer, unlined Cosabella bras. Never in a million years would have been caught dead in such bras preop! They are soft, beautiful, & flattering though. I bought this one in the picture, & a mint green one w yellow ruffles & got matching panties. The mint one seems a lot more sheer since it doesn't have a pattern. I love them & so does my hubby! ;-) I honestly feel like the photo does not do it justice how flattering it is, but that could just be me having an overinflated self-boob-image at this point though too. :-p. Anyone else tried Cosabella bras? I want to try the bralettes now too.
