I'd consider getting mine done if I lost weight. I've got H cup and they have always been big. I lost weight a few years ago down to a size 10 and they were still a G cup. So think mine will always be big, but will never get reduction whilst I'm still bigger as it's more in proportion x

PB, nobody will know until the time comes. Just a case of wait and see. Even if I start leaking milk, it doesn't mean anything apparently.
Shep, yep...I was a size 8 when I was 16 and they were FF then. I looked like a who're if I wore clothes to fit my body and like a bloody old sack if I wore clothes to fit my boobs. Won't go into it all now but at the time, despite augmentation being available on the NHS, reduction wasn't and yet it's a far more damaging problem. I will never disagree with augmentation being available, I totally empathise with the psychological issues that come with having no breasts. My issue was always that reductions were sneered at by everyone, yet huge boobs pose both psychological and physical problems. By 19, I had started to develop curvature of the spine. I would be reduced to tears when taking any bra off at night, even £280 pound specialist made ones. I couldn't ride my horse without two bras and a swimming costume and anything more than a quiet hack was physically out of the question for 4 years. I couldn't do something as simple as run to catch a train or bus without having to use both arms to hold them down or the pain would be indescribable. Shopping...I still hate it. Every other girl, even really big girls in school could always find stuff. I couldn't. Trying to buy suits for interviews...shops not letting me buy a size 10 trousers and a 16 jacket that I needed. So I'd have to go for a dress that fit my boobs and basically made Me, as a teenager, look like a middle aged, overweight frump.
I was public property as well. Always laughed and plastered on a smile and let out a sarcastic comment but no matter where I was or who I was with, everyone felt they had the right to leer, make ridiculously rude comments, invite themselves for a feel etc.
When I went to first meet the consultant at Guys Nuffield in London, within maybe 30 seconds of me saying the above, through tears, was crying with me and so was the nurse.
I smiled through every part of the process when I went for the op. It should have been 2 hours, it was 4.5 and they had to top up my anaesthetic three times so when I came round in recovery, I was immediately sick. That carried on for almost 24 hours so they kept me in. The scars go from almost under my armpits to almost meeting between my boobs. They miss by about 1.5cm. There was then a cut going straight up from that cut to the nipples, which were detached and reduced. I went into the Journal some medical publication and to that date, it was the largest nipple movement and most weight removed from a woman under 50.
I remember going up to my room and the nurse telling me NOT to attempt getting up for the loo without calling for help. I assumed this was due to the GA and sickness. It wasn't. I was 19...I could hear every one was busy so thought I knew best and could manage by myself. So, I thought I'd be super sensible and do it really slowly. I pushed the buttons to slowly raise the head end of the bed until I was nearly sitting. Then took a few minutes to adjust. Then I straightened up by myself and took a few more minutes. Slowly hung my legs over the edge, took a few more minutes, you know, being all sensible and stuff.
I took even more time about actually standing and as I did, I held the bed for ages. My head was fine, I didn't feel dizzy at all. I let go, took a step and turned towards the bathroom. Thought I should pause for a moment, again, being sensible. Then before I knew it I was flat on my back with nurses running in and my mum and dad running in after them.
I was pissing myself laughing, it worried about popping stitches but they were fine. The nurse laughed at me telling her how careful and slow I was and she said, "It had bugger all to do with your head Love, you've spent the last few years automatically leaning back to be able to carry the almost 5kg you've just had taken off your chest. You need to learn to balance yourself again"!
I still laugh when I think of that.
I also vividly remember my consultant wiping the floor with the woman in the next room as she was in for an augmentation and shouted loud enough for me to hear, "She's young, she's fine, get me some bloody painkillers" repeatedly. He ended up giving her a lecture on the physical and emotional issues of large boobs. Lol. Not very professional of him but I did feel quite good about it.
Anyway, it was all positive for me. I got a really nasty post ok infection but even that ended up great as it fuzzed out the scar lines so they're hardly visible now, even if you look for them, lol.
I'm quite prepared to do similar again after babies as while I love them now, they are not going to grow anymore and I'd quite like to go smaller again...to a D cup probably. Luckily, I have no fear of surgery.

Glad ur 16 week appt went well Shep, GG going through all of that so young sounds traumatic but im glad u r happy with ur outcome! Breastfeeding isn’t always easy im lucky ive managed to breastfeed all of mine and am still breastfeeding Reggie! Im hoping to express a little earlier this time so OH can do some feeds as Reggie took a long time to get along with a bottle whoch made things a little difficult at times. But then he doesn’t have a bottle now so thats one change over I haven’t had to deal with xx

well done Enya for still feeding Reggie now that's great stuff!
anyone got anything they're already missing because of pregnancy? I'm really missing pate, DD often has pate on oakcakes as a snack in the afternoon and I'm dying to have some. managing to get a brie fix with lots of bacon and brie toasties but no way to get a pate fix

Never had beef Wellington. TBH I don't really eat anything I cant have when pregnant, I eat tuna but can still have it once a week, the only thing is I like my steak medium to well done but can only have it well done now :/ so doesnt really bother me lol.

To be honest, if you know where the meat has come from and all of the outside is seared on a really high heat, you could eat it at medium rare without worry as the bacteria is only present on the surface of raw red meats. Not that I condone people taking the risk. I'm doing my own more as medium/well at the moment. Mince is the real risk...as the surface meat is mixed through everything so it's really important to make sure burgers or sauces using mince are cooked through really well.

If you're still worried check with midwife about it. 111 are useless. The baby should be fine with a high temp for a little bit don't get too stressed about it. Take paracetamol to see if you can bring it down and drink lots and lots of water so you don't dehydrate xx

What a shite day today has been.... woke up fancied some crackers with butter happily munching away with my cuppa t, get ready to go food shopping to start feeling nauseous (a few good days was too good to be true) to then throwing up the crackers all over the kitchen sink, sort myself out clean up go food shopping to treat myself to a lovely fresh salad and now I feel absolutely shocking !!!!!
Why is it you have 2 good days of eating and not feeling sick for then it to all come back with a vengeance! I have sat and cried today cause I’m so convinced this is how the rest of the pregnancy will go! Along with the insomnia, the constipation and the god awful emotions!!!!! * hits head on wall *

12-14 weeks was my worst time for nausea and sickness. I'm still throwing up now and again but not so much with the nausea.
Hopefully by next week it will start to ease. I've found this one so much harder especially with a 3 year old. All I can tell you is to hang in there because it does get better. You'll be feeling the baby soon and feeling so much better xx

Thanks ladies 
.. I’m hoping it’s the last part of it I can cope with tiredness just nausea and sickness are draining me emotionally and physically.
Just one of those days I guess.... I cried cause I showed the other half a travel system I liked and he doesn’t like it.... *emotional rollercoaster*

totally get it, when my nausea was bad I felt like I couldn't think straight or do anything
and I agree with you shanivy mine has been much worse this time around. the midwife asked me today how I coped with the nausea/tiredness and DD and I was like "honestly? we watched a lot of disney"
I'm 110% sure this is my last baby and the last few days I keep saying to oh "I'm so happy/ relieved to know I will never have to go through 10 weeks of morning sickness again!"

Same Shep I'm pretty certain this baby is my last too. Trying harder to appreciate it all. It's been so hard though. But when I think about carrying dd I think how easy did I actually have it? Xx
Acid reflux is awful right now and I could cry because I've just used my gaviscon up. Fuck

I had it pretty easy the first few weeks but the acid reflux has hit me hard this last week and I've been sick a few times and generally feeling sorry for myself. Got some Ranitidine from the pharmacy yesterday and it seems to be helping a bit though, fingers crossed.
This is my first and I'm honestly not sure I can do it again for another child after haha. Respect to you ladies on your second/third/fourth!
