'so to summerise you will end up a saggy,stretchmarked,sleep deprived mess who stinks of widdle,with either a scar or a bucket minge regardless of whether you use a teat or tit.'

Yep. But when your baby smiles at you, you don't think about that.

Until they turn into the teenager from hell Grin

But she's not married. I'm afraid that really does out you as a troll MissX. Everyone knows you don't have sex unless you are married.

KaraStarbuckThrace · 06/04/2011 12:33

I forgot to mention.

I bf for 2.7yos and I have awesome boobage Grin

Tryharder · 06/04/2011 12:33

I have workmen in my house and my 2 year old is crawling under their feet - I should be looking after him and not reading tosh OPs like this Grin

Some of the replies have made me laugh thought, thanks ladies.

EvaPeron · 06/04/2011 12:35

Just out of interest (since you obviously are giving it enough thought to post) - did you know that breastfeeding helps reduce your chances of breast cancer?

I'm sure that all those unfortunate enough to have been affected can tell you that there are worse things than a bit of sagging.

hecate · 06/04/2011 12:35

Did anyone else get hairy nipples? oh god, and the constipation. Bloody hell. It was like trying to shit a ford fiesta sometimes.

BumWiper · 06/04/2011 12:35

yes thats when you throw that at stroppy teens.

btw i love my post baby body.its not perfect but its mine.ok at the moment i look like i should be orbiting the sun but in two weeks i'll be sliced Grin

OracleInaCoracle · 06/04/2011 12:37

I have to say, i know this is a troll but: I had a CS and my stomach is a mess. I will never have a flat stomach again and look dreadful in any swimwear because you can see my overhang despite still being a very slim size 6-8. i also didnt bf and being pregnant still ruined my tits. they are veiny and saggy because the muscles change during pg and they atrophy naturally. I am also infertile (probably) thanks to the botch job the surgeon made of my cs including shoving my bladder back in the wrong place.

trolls are wankers.

StealthPolarBear · 06/04/2011 12:37

Congratulations on the pregnancy OP
YANBU to not think about breastfeeding - a bit silly and naive maybe
YABU to tell us all about how you're not thinking about it in a painstakingly self-absorbed way
What else are you not thinking about? Orange penguins? TerryWogansCock?

BumWiper · 06/04/2011 12:37

dont forget to squeeze as you laugh Tryharder.cant blame the puddle on the baby.

oh the constipation.jaysus i thought the cheeks of my arse would never go back together.

orangehead · 06/04/2011 12:38

before preg tiny 34b, after breastfeeding two children very perky not at all saggy 34dd, people pay thousands for that.

BumWiper · 06/04/2011 12:39

lissielou have you had your fertility cheaked?
im having a scar removal (kind of like a mini tuck) when i have this baby to get rid of the overhang.

orangehead · 06/04/2011 12:42

Ears pick up BumWiper where you having that done? Disgusting overhang here too Blush

OracleInaCoracle · 06/04/2011 12:44

bumwiper, yep been ttc for 5.5y, 13 mc's and an ep, significant adhesions and a post op infection that went unchecked for almost 2w. and people like the OP think that a CS is the "easy option"

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 06/04/2011 12:45

I fortunately escaped overhangs, stretchmarks, varicose veins etc but...

when an obs-gyn waves a knife in the direction of your auntie mary saying 'i'm going to perform an episiotomy now - the relative sagginess of your boobs pales into insignificance.

This is why my DS is an only Grin not risking my sex life again!

BumWiper · 06/04/2011 12:46

far from the easy option.have you any recourse at all?your surgeon should be hung.

orangehead in one of the Dublin maternity hospitals.i asked on my first appointment and as im having a sterilisation too they agreed to it.

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 06/04/2011 12:47

Sorry to hear that Lissielou.

BumWiper · 06/04/2011 12:48

((((hugs)))))) lissie

bumwiper Grin OP if you don't want to bf don't that simple, but your not going to get any symapthy on here, i feel its all about choice, do you know anyone who has ebf? being young is no reason not to bf, your bady will recover better than mine i'm 330 this year, Grin but to be honest i have amazing boobs. give it a go its an amazing experience also will get the baby weight off, have your done your research the benifits to you both are amazing good luck with your choice.

other posters, go easy please, bf is great for baby but don't attack her for asking, an opinion is helpful, verbally bashing her and name calling is petty ( my turn for a flaming now me thinks)

OracleInaCoracle · 06/04/2011 12:53

we didnt discover the placement of the bladder until the surgeon removing my ep sliced it open by mistake... thats right, not just a mm or so over but a good inch or two across. the doctors have been really dismissive about the whole thing, and despite each of my mc's being preceded by a temp spike and symptoms relating to infection, my regular cons still doesnt think that the uterine infection left raging for 10d has anything to do with our infertility, despite it only presenting since ds was born.
