This is probably flameful, but oh well
After putting away all of my prebaby "skinny" clothes , I now am starting a piggy bank for new boobs and a personal trainer post 2nd child.
Unpacking bikinis from before seems like cruel and unusual punishment while pregnant.
I love my son and this little cheeto growing in my belly, but it would be really nice to get my body back after. Guess I'm selfish like that.

Re: This is probably flameful, but oh well
Honestly, I am already pricing out treadmills for our new house, because the second I get my 6 week OK to start exercising, I am ON IT. Also, I never believed in plastic surgery before, but after I stopped BFing my son, I told DH I totally see the reason people get a boob lift. Before I got pg again, these ladies were hanging halfway to my belly button. Ugh.
As you said--I love my son (and this new babe) to death, and would do anything for them. But that doesn't mean it's easy to deal with the physical changes sometimes!
eh, i'm totally getting my boobs lifted after we're done having kids. i have no shame in that.
and i keep thinking that i'm glad i'm having a winter baby so i have 6 solid months (at least) to get back into shape for summer. i don't mind being vain right now lol!
Boob job and tummy tuck are a no-brainer once we are done having kids.
No need or desire to look like grandma this early in life
I think this is more popular than you think, op!
I discussed this with DH before we even had kids, and he was totally okay with it (lol). I will see how I am after we are done, but there is no shame from me! I will be getting either a boob lift or implants if necessary. Not sure about the tummy tuck yet. I have a few stretch marks, but not a ton. I also didn't loose all the weight from DS before I got pregnant with this little one, so it will all depend on how I feel in the end.
Do what makes you happy! As long as your kids don't suffer at the expense of it all, I see no issue with it.
I don't think it's flameful at all. I have every intention of getting a breast lift, and maybe an augmentation too, when I'm done breastfeeding.
SIL had a tummy tuck while still under anesthesia for her C-section. She had just delivered twins and it was her final pregnancy, so why not?
I see no problem with plastic surgery in moderation.

Some will, based on a checklist/score system of medical reasons. It ends up being a breast volume vs body weight/size issue. If I'm able to get down to a reasonable weight vs the huge volume my breasts will be, combined with past back surgery and degenerative discs, I could possibly qualify. So many variables.

Oh, this. Actually, I'm more planning on a breast lift + tummy tuck combo.
No flames from me either. Husband and I have already discussed it. No shame.Oh AND!! I'm definitely on it once I can work out again! I already am a yoga instructor so that will help but I'm doing Shred415. If anyone has ever heard of it, it's a killer workout and they have a 3 month shred the baby weight deal!
I'd never do it but no judgement. My boobs are small so they haven't been as affecte by pregnancy/nursing. I know several women who have had either reductions or boob jobs. Just be clear about what you want (two ended up much bigger than they asked for) and have a lot of help around during the recovery. Its major surgery and you can't lift your own kids for at least a week
I think it depends on whether you want to go over or under the muscle, and whether you choose saline or silicone. Where you choose your incision has something to do with it too, I think. Anyhow, it's generally between $5-7K.
My sister used to work for a software company called "Breast Express" (how funny is that name) that could show you what you would look like post-op from any cosmetic procedure. They gave her free implants if she agreed to be a before and after model.
I was a 32 DDD before pregnancy, and I'm now a 34 H. Which, HELLO, I didn't even know was a size. I could not possibly empathize with body image/adjustment issues more. You do you, girl.
Anybody else having vein issues? I'm an exerciser and so I was suuuuuper annoyed when spider veins decided to pop up on the backs of my legs (but honestly, I'm not too surprised, I'm super fair and my veins are close to the surface of my skin). So that's priority one, post-baby, but we'll see how everything else does/does not fall back into place.

No flaming here. I'm already looking for a new gym that has babysitting hours so I can get back to my routine after this LO is born. When we're done having kids I plan to have the boobs lifted.
And THANK GOD I'll have 6 months before I need to get back into a bikini!
Agreed. After having DS, I lost all my baby weight but I had some loose skin on my stomach.
Yes and yes. : )
Since I'm going in for a scheduled c section I am so very interested in this but I don't think this is legal? I did some research and most docs will not touch your because your skin or muscle is fragile from the pregnancy. Do you know how she got this approved?
TBH, I'm not entirely sure. The twins are 12 now, so it could just be that medical standards have changed since she had it done. I'd be happy to ask her though!
My boobs aren't huge and luckily they weren't affected after DS. I'm hoping they will still be okay looking after this one too. However, I already told DH that I will be getting work done on my belly button after I'm all done having kids. I took out my belly button piercing early in my last pregnancy and it still looks weird. There's a skin bridge from the hole that is NOT attractive. I will never wear a bikini because of it, no matter how in shape I can get myself. Therefore I want it fixed. From what I hear, it's not overly expensive and it will go a long ways to make me feel better about myself.
