I was breastfeeding until about 6 week but now am EPing and I HATE IT. I know that breastmilk is the best for baby and thats the only reason I continue to pump. But really, pumping is inconvenient, time consuming, annoying, my boobs are saggy when they are empty and huge when they are full. I move between 2 bra sizes all day long. I am praying and wishing they go somewhat back to normal after I am done. I used to like my boobs, not so much anymore. ![]()
Grrrrr.
OK Rant over. Thanks for listening.
Re: I want my boobs back!!
I hate pumping too and give great kudos to these who EP.
Your boobs will go back to seminormal after you stop but they will never be the same.

I EBF, but have to pump four times a day (some at work because I'm away from baby, other times because I'm so engorged I just have to). I hate my boobs, full or "empty." I hate that they'll never be "right" again.
On the other hand, I'm doing what's best for my baby. Giving him nourishment and watching him grow because of something I did is a very rewarding experience.
