    Default Boobs and kids

    I do not have kids yet and I do not have implants. I have 36c and I absoultly love everything about my boobs , their shape, their size, they do not sag and imo look very nice . So I do not want breast implants right now. My question though is after I decide to have children do you think it is a good idea to get saline implants then? If I have say two children at 30 which is my plan if everything goes right, and I do not breast feed will my boobs look the same as they did if I bottle feed? I don't want to get implants if I don't have to but I want my boobs to look like they do now. I don't really want implants to look bigger I would only go up to a D to get the lift. I am really hoping if I do not breastfeed after pregancy my boobs would go back to normal and not sag. What is the truth guys?

    OK, here's the truth:

    First of all, much is genetics. So however your mom's boobs or aunties looked after they had kids is a good starting point.

    When you get pregnant, your boobs are going to get bigger (which is alot of fun in your first trimester.) After you give birth, your breasts become engorged with milk. If you don't nurse it eventually dries up. The point I'm trying to make is that regardless if you nurse or not, your boobs still go through the change of getting bigger then going back to "normal" again.

    I personally don't think there's a whole lot you can do to keep your boobs "as they were." You could try wearing a tight supportive bra 24/7 and firming cream maybe. Besides, remember that even if you don't have kids, they're eventually going to change anyhow. Damn gravity.

    edited to add that you already have a considerable amount of breast tissue. If you decide to get implants after you have kids, you have the best chance of getting the most natural looking boob job. Nobody will know unless you tell them.

    Not breastfeeding may not help. I put my first child up for adoption so I didn't nurse him. I only gained about 18 pounds, but my boobs were shot after that. Lots of sagging. After I had my second child (I nursed her), I became very ill and lost 20 pounds in 12 days. There went the rest of my boobs! I got saline implants seven years ago and had my last child three years ago. I nursed her as well and my implants weren't affected at all, in fact, I think they look even better.

    Sapphire is so right about genetics. There's not much you can do other than the things she listed.

    My friend wore a bra 24/7 and tightened the straps so the boobs got lifted up. She looks good. I don't have any kids but when i do, I'm doing the same thing.

    I'm 32 (33 in July) and have three kids (this comming fall one will be in high school, one in jr high and one in elementary).

    I nursed all 3 and my breasts still are in terrific shape. It's all very dependant on genetics. I gained an average of 50lbs per pregnancy (my kids were big, 9lbs, 10lbs and 9lbs respectively). I know girls who gained far less and didn't nurse and their breasts lost a lot of mass and/or sagged afterwards.

    My mother strongly reccommends nursing because it causes your body to realease hormones and you uterus to contract making it easier for you to get back to pre pregnancy shape.......also think of the money you would save on formula.

    Well, first a disclaimer because I dont' have kids and I don't want to have any kids....I have no experience.

    I think that everyone is overlooking the obvious. There are dozens of studies out that say that babies that are breastfed do better in life. Higher IQ, better health, etc. So personally I think it would be kind of selfish to deprive your children of those advantages just because you don't want to have to have your boobs fixed. And in your 30's, do you still plan on dancing? If not, it wouldn't be such a big deal anyway.

    Ok...I had my first baby at 28. My boobs lost a lot of mass...but they still look good. Honestly, there is nothing that you can do to prevent the natural course of motherhood. If you constantly tell yourself how "messed up" your body is going to be when you have babies, you will not enjoy the whole experience!! I still nurse my 21 month old...I could care less what anyone else thinks of my boobs! My daughter is the most important thing to me...and everyone else takes a far 2nd place. Then again, there has not been one single guy that has said, "Gee...your boobs are saggy...did you have a kid?" Will I ever get implants? I may...may not. But, I'm kind of concerned that you are thinking of not breast feeding your child because it may affect your boobs. I also know that I was back into my regular jeans 10 days after having my baby (worked out, ate right, etc, etc, etc) because I was breast feeding her. I have friends who bottle fed their kids, and 6 months later, they were still "trying to get back into shape".

    But, in the end...no matter what you do...genetics has the final say.

    And, lalalatina...how did wearing a bra and tightening the straps give your friend a lift? That's impossible...unless I am misunderstanding what you wrote.

    I was pregnant 3 times!!! Gave birth (full term to my child) The other times i did not carry full term but very close, and do not have the others, sad story...Anyway, my breasts after 3 pregnancies are a full 38c. I like them just fine. I only breast fed once, to my daughter (the only one that i could) and they get bigger as my years go by!

    My mother had big breasts, and my grandmother, so i guess it's alot of the gene stuff. Depends on the person, and your body.

    Lilac666, Don't think I'm awful for saying this, but... (ha! how's that for an intro!) - Everybody worries about what their bodies will look like post-child bearing and pretty much everybody hates something about their body that happened in the process. But what I hope you will realize when you eventually have kids is that once they're here, nothing else matters as much as your children do. IMO, that's how it should be and if you don't feel that way, you shouldn't be having kids. That's not meant to harsh - it's just how I feel. And don't make the breast/bottle decision before you've even imagined having kids. You're not pg now and not planning to be. You're just thinking about pregnancy and childbirth in terms of how it will affect you. I think that once you decide to have kids, get pregnant, etc., you'll be thinking about your baby and you'll do what's best for him/her without letting your body image interfere in that decision. If you really want to make this decision so early on, then do ALL of the research. Read the baby books and studies on breast/bottle, talk to moms who have done both - don't just take a survey of ppl whose boobs crapped out and ppl whose didn't. There is so much more to it than that. Raising your children the way you see fit is infinitely more important than blobs of fat that are gonna flop eventually anyway. You may still decide that bottle-feeding is what's best for you and your child, but PLEASE don't sell out on the nursing experience because you're too vain to give it a chance. You may actually enjoy the bond that nursing can provide. Bottle-feeding is fine if that's what works best for you, just do it for the right reasons.

    Another thought - it sounds like you've pretty much already decided not to nurse. But it also sounds like you're considering a boob job either way. As long as you enjoy it and eat a healthy diet, breast-feeding is definitely better for your baby. And formula is gonna cost you a shitload of money and you'll go it through it like water... So, $4000 for a BA versus $4K plus A LOT more for formula - doesn't seem like all that hard of a decision.

    One last thing - parenting is all about sacrifices... and you don't mind making them. You might've looked better before you had kids, you might've enjoyed going out at night or eating the 'good desserts' without occasionally having to hide behind the counter (lol, any mommies hear me on that? ) - But what it comes down to (or should, IMO, if you're really meant to be a mom) is that you would trade all of those things the world over for a chance to mold this perfect, untainted little piece of the future... Make sure you think about being a mom, and not just about banking at the club when you make this decision. You can be a great dancer and a great mom, but please make the latter your top priority.

    I was told by my doctor and la leche league (the breat feeding advocates) that it actually helps to brest feed. Just don't do it for 3 years or anything. lol
    I breast fed my daughter and my breasts are still great!!

    deciding whether or not to nurse is a highly personal choice. I bf my first for 6 months the second I was only able to nurse for 3 weeks. I was depressed, lacking emotional support and she wasn't latching on correctly. My nipples were so cracked and sore I would start to cry when she got hungry and felt myself dreading to feed her. well, that was the last thing i wanted my baby sensing that i was dreading to feed her so I put her on the bottle.

    The facts Lilac are:

    if you nurse, your pregnancy pounds will come off much quicker than if you don't nurse.

    breastfed babies get sick less often, have fewer (if any) ear infections and their poop doesn't stink (haha you could say they're boo boo smells like roses) formula babies have some stinky diapers!

    whether you nurse or don't nurse, you really don't know how your boobs are going to look in the end.

    I am a 23 year old mom of three, and I was not allowed to breast feed because of a disease the my children are born with. My boobs have gone from mountains to ski slopes, not the mention the pain of engorgement! Like said above, it's all genetics.

    My boobs were still pretty good after I had my daughter. They weren't like they were before, but they weren't sagging and empty either. I chose to get a boob job because I wanted to make my proportions more even, and I was a little self-conscious about my breasts. They now look great, but they won't ever look like they did when I was 20 and childless.

    Those gravity defying breasts are a short-lived thing, kids or no kids. Enjoy them while you have them, but don't worry yourself about what they'll be like in the future.

    As for breastfeeding, it's not for everyone. People try to guilt trip mothers about it and I think that's ridiculous. Women need to stop being so judgmental on each other about every little thing. What is right for one is not always right for another, and they don't need to be made to feel guilty about their own personal choices.
