I want my boobs back!!

in November 2011 Moms

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.

    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 have only pumped a few times, and find it really annoying. Is your baby unable to latch? I love my big boobs right now, bur know they will be sad looking when I wean.

    I feel your pain...I had large boobs pre preg and now they are just huge and like flat pancakes when empty, they are just gross looking. I give you credit for ep, I pump every morning and dread it. At the end of the day you have to do what makes you happy. Happy mommy = happy family

    Me too.  I am sick of EPing.  I hate my boobs.  I went from a 36D before I was pregnant to a 36K now.  Yes K.  I can't find bras in my size and DD always seems to cry right when I start to pump.

    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.

    I was fine with getting stretch marks on my belly, but am pretty unhappy with the ones on my boobs.  I only went from a B to a D but did it in about five days (that hurt like a Sonofabtch) but now when I get sad I try to see it as a practice run for possibly getting bigger boobs when I'm done BF my second kid.  I don't know if I will ever get surgery but at least if I do the skin is already stretched and I know how I feel about the size.
