Although, I'm hoping that breast feeding again will take some of it down. I'm crossing my fingers.

well i can give you some advice on breast reductions, when i was pregnant with my son my bb's went from 34 D to 34 JJ and i breast fed under the assumption from advice from others that they would get smaller again, well they did they went to a 34 DD but the extra skin was horrendous..i was 19 with bb's that literally hung to my waist..i have dense breasts to begin with, which means they don't exactly sit on the chest wall but more in the actual cup of the breast...anyway, luckily i found a surgeon that was able to put this through on my insurance, it was $18,000 he didn't really do a reduction but a lift, he cut around the areaola and made the nipple a more normal size then removed the skin and then pulled everything together and stiched me up...i have whats called an anchor scar on each breast...a line from the nipple down and then a curving scar under my breast...it's barely noticeable now...well now it is brown due to the ... yep you guessed it due to the pregnancy...my check hurts like hell now that it is growing again though and even though they aren't as big as they were back then they are very painful..oh I also have costochondritis...extra cartilage in my upper ribs above my breasts...it's very painful, i will have an actual reduction done the next time though..i hate hate hate having large breasts...i seriously want to know what it's like to wear a triangle top bikini...lol

i have to say i am so jealous...i've been 34 D or DD since i was 12 yrs old...

[ImHis]

Yeah...I would love to have 36b or 38D...I am 40ddd right now.
They just get in the way!

Kimbev - I was a D when I was about 12 too. And for a girl who didnt like boys till MUCH later, the looks I got made me so uncomfortable. I started hating my bbs early on. I was wondering about the anchor scar, what happens to it when you get pg again. I have so many scars already (from a car accident) that I'm kinda afarid to get the reduction because I dont want any more. Really dont want to have any more surgeries for sure. I think if I could make a wish and change things that I'd wish for a C cup... not to small and not this darn big! LOL

ImHis - I know what you mean, my bbs run into the door before I do! They are always in the way!

well as far as the anchor scar it just got darker you know like the line we will all get on our bellies sooner or later...but it's not bad, you can't see it while wearing clothes at all, i have awesome cleavage lol (not to toot my own horn but i do) and no one barely even knows i've had the surgery...

[Elizabeth777]

I am LMAO about the bbs!! And I thought mine were a HUGE pain - I am normally a 36B but probably a C now!

I think we all have "the grass is always greener" syndrome. I was always super tiny on top. I got teased all the time about being flat. I wore an A cup all the way through high school and early college. I only moved up to a B after I became fairly overweight. Being so little on top makes it hard to buy clothes, too. Forget about princess seams, halters or deep v-necks. Most dresses have never fit me very well because of the seams. A happy medium would be nice... I definitely don't envy those of you with back problems, but wish I had looked more feminine in my younger years...

[ponygirl]

I completely agree. I think a nice full B or C would be wonderful for just about any body type. Even if "baby got back"! My ex-stepdaughter is hoping that she grows something someday cuz she's below an A. Poor girl, she keeps hoping she'll get just a little.

It's a BOY!!

He doesnt have a name yet, but we're working on it.

The AFP was negative and the baby has no markers for downs. So Mr. Munchin is doing well. But the doc said I'm close to having placenta previa. The placenta is sitting right on the side of my cervix, but not covering it completely. He wants to do another u/s at 24 weeks to see if it's moved up.

So mostly good news and a little tid bit to worry about. Oh course I've been put on pelvic restrictions so DH was a little sad, but he'll be ok.
