I've always had one breast a bit bigger then the other but now I'm pregnant it seems to have enlarged even more and it makes me kinda self concious. Embarassed Is this normal? Have any of you girls exp this before or know someone who has? If so... do you think this could effect my breastfeeding when my daughter is born? Also was wondering if any of you ladies had any advice for breastfeeding, I want to breastfeed my daughter but idk much about it. Please let me know what you think Smile


Your local health department should provide you with a lot of free books and info on breastfeeding. That's where I got all my info. I plan to breastfeed when my baby comes and the books really look helpful and I feel more comfortable about doing it now that I've read them.

And yes I too have always had one breast larger than the other. My left side has always been slightly larger than my right side. Now that I'm pregnant it seems to be about the same, maybe they are getting a little more even but it could be an illusion who knows. I'm just glad they are swelling some! I've never really had any boobs I was barely an A pre-pregnancy now I'm a small B which is nice! I'm sure it won't last too long though! Sad

I just want to warn you guys that breastfeeding can be painful.
I was going to breastfeed Kyleigh and that lasted 3 days in the hospital before my boobs were bleeding. It wasn't that she was latched incorrectly, I guess I just have sensitive boobs.
Don't be discouraged if after trying to breastfeed, you feel that you no longer want to or can without serious pain! I would be crying during the whole feeding.

Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. At least try to give all of the colostrum. That's the good stuff. OOooooo it hurt so badly!! Lanolin. You MUST get that stuff. It numbs a little and doesn't have a taste. It actually felt nice.

I'm planning on going natural as well. I'm not really big into drugs, regardless if it's for pain relief, because I don't like the effects on me. Plus, my mom never had any pain relief and she's had 7 kids, so I think I can do without any drugs. Smile

Welcome to the forum!!!

Congrats on the pregnancy! It's a BEAUTIFUL thing!!

As for the drug free births...GO FOR IT!! I gave birth to my daughter with no medical intervention. No IV & no Epidural. I had her within 3 hours of getting to the hospital.

Yea, it hurt....a LOT...but it ended eventually. Just a note of encouragement...the baby coming out DOES NOT hurt like you would imagine. The contractions hurt worse than the baby actually coming out! Wink

It's possible ladies! But if you choose to have an epi, you're just as strong! Birth, no matter how it's done is an amazing accomplishment!

I'm not really scared, just nervous about the whole deal. I saw my cousin give birth back in may, so that helped me to know somewhat of what to expect. I'm more nervous about not having anything for him when he comes because I have no clue when my mil is doing my shower.
