:( hi, I posted a question..No response,
but i'd appreciate anyone that can help me
out soon, maybe email me..Or something. I
am a 21 year old female. I gave birth to
my son at age 17, he will be turning 4 in
march. When he was born he wouldn't latch
on in order to be breast fed. I was too
embarrassed to get a nurse to help. So I
waited til' I got home, it still didn't
work, but I was determined to have him
breast fed. So for 6 months, I pumped and
bottled fed it to him, until, I guess I
just didn't produce enough milk. Before
pregnancy I weighed 84 pounds, wore a
36-c, during pregnancy and after
delivering I weighed 136 and wore 38-d,
now I am 97 pounds and am in an a cup.
Other than the time frame above, i've
never gained weight or lost any either.
However my breasts just are...Vanishing.
Is there a medical problem associated?
How can I get them to grow without
implants and paying alot of money for
creams. Is there a change in my diet that
might help. Please anyone! This is very
depressing and often I think about
suicide...A dumb thing, but I no longer
feel attractive, I am not into sex or
relationships because of it, and i'm
turning into a recluse. :cry:

I dont think that having a small chest is
anything to feel depressed about to the
point of contemplating suicide, especially
when you have a small child, I dont no of
anything that can enhance your chest. But
I do think you need to get over it and
concentrate on parts of your body which
you admire, sorry I wasent much help

I agree with 21...I never really had a
large chest...I weighed 82 pounds before I
got pregnant at 17...And have been around
110-120 ever since (i'm 26 now)...And I
have had another child in that time...My
weight fluccuates a little, but as yours
did, my chest shrunk significantly ( I am
also an a cup)...Instead of dwelling on
that...Focus on the fact that you are a
mom...And love yourself for who you are,
teach your son that appearances are not as
important as the person...I've often
thought about implants, but I am terrified
of something going wrong or whatever, so I
just learned to deal with the fact that I
am flat chested...Its life, you accept it
and move on....
I dont want to sound mean or anything and
please dont take this offensivley, but
that seems like an incredibly vein thing
to say that youre contemplating suicide
over small boobs.

Hi hon,
i can't give you a female perspective but
I can give you a human/gay perspective.
It sounds to me like you have a very petit
figure. Petit figures can't handle lots
of weight. How tall are you? Do you know
your ideal body weight and body mass
index?
Is this something you've talked with your
ob/gyn or pcp about? Maybe he/she/they
can provide some insight for you?
take care and trust me suicide is not the
answer!!!
Be well!
Mike

Hi, what I am about to say will probably
not make you feel any better but here it
goes. Before I had children I had a
rather nice handfull so to speak but after
breast feeding my two children both for
about 10 months each I don't really have
anything to brag about in the breast
department anymore. I agree with the
other responses though. Don't let your
breast size make you want to kill
yourself! What do you love more - having
great breasts or a child? You are the
most influential person in your childs
life so stop being so negative towards
yourself cause it will rub on to child. I
bought push up bras!!!! Good things come
in small packages.
