I have thought about a BA for several years. I nursed both my kids until they were two and two and a half consecutively. I am in my early 30s 5'5 and weigh 122lbs. I am currently a deflated 32 C.
Before I had children I was naturally a small D cup and would like to return to that size.
I have scheduled my surgery date for mid-may. I am extremely nervous about the (slight) risk of going under anestesia and the pain afterwards. As a mother nothing is more important than my children so going under anestesia worries me. I can't imagine dying over boobs! I know that's irrational and have spoken to my surgeon and he has been very reassuring and made me feel much better.
So at my first consultation we spent almost an hour going through sizes and impant style. My PS gave me so much information that I actually can't remember what profile we thought would be best. I am very narrow (about 30.5 in) so maybe high profile however, I like the look of mod +
I do know that my PS talked about sientras 400-450cc
Does that seem really large if I am already a C cup? I just want to be a D not a DD.

So I'm just wondering if there is anything I should be taking in these next few weeks?!
How can I avoid the square look before the implants have dropped? Is it inevitable? Does it have to do with the profile of the implant? It seems like the square shape immediately following surgery would be hard to disguise?
The other thing I am wondering if why some people think its a breeze and others are in immense pain?!
Getting really nervous. It seems so far away but it really isn't...I guess I am somewhat ambivalent and feel as though I have time to change my mind. I really have wanted them for two years now but as its sinking in, my nerves are kicking up. I also have been on he explanation forums and that frightens me (in case they need to be removed!)

Thank you for sharing on RealSelf! Stuff your bras like crazy for the next week or so! Also, show some pictures of your "wish boobs" to your PS. It's just another way to make sure you and your PS are on the same page. I didn't sleep a wink the night before my surgery! Hang in there and keep us posted!

Post op:
One week before B-day.
I went to my ps yesterday and he tried only ONE implant on and said, that looks great! It was 465cc HP round Sientra.
After I was in the coordinator office going over final payment, etc the nurse came in to tell me that he is thinking he MAY use a textured implant and that he'll be ordering up to 505cc and will use sizers during the surgery.
I was really just nervous about the anesethia and the pain but now I am freaked about the size.
I told him I wanted to be a D cup but not more than that and not less than that since I am a C cup.
I do trust his skill and his judgement. He is the expert but 500cc!! Goodness!!!
