First, I just want to say I'm all for breastfeeding. Obviously, I mean I fed my little boob suckers for at least 12 months each. I just want to rant a little about the side effects that NO ONE talks about!!I have a friend that described what your boobs look like after breastfeeding for an extended period of time like this:
"Take a tube sock. Take a golf ball. Hold the tube sock up by the top. Drop the ball in it. That's what your boobs will look like after you give the wonderful gift of breast milk to your children for any length of time."
I laughed the first time I heard this. I had only had one kid at the time. Here I am 5 years and 2 more kids later. SHE IS SO RIGHT!!
I'm totally disgusted. I went bra shopping for the first time since I finished breastfeeding my 3rd child. I was trying on bras... I started at my original size, 36 B.
Too big.
So I went to a 34 B.
Too big.
My breast tissue has flat out (no pun intended) disappeared! I am now a
34 goddamn A!!
What the hell is that?
I just have to say, WTF?! I think formula may have been cheaper than the boob job I'm going to have to get.
Most importantly, considering the missing breast tissue, all the hours spent sitting still while I let someone suck on me like a cow, all the embarrassing mishaps with milk squirting everywhere (front of class, Calc 2 - yeah, that was fun)....I better get TRIPLE Mommy points for this somewhere down the road.
