Cheryl Cole would like to breastfeed (presumably once she has a baby of her own) but is worried because she has "seen what it does," apparently.

According to the celebrity bible that is this week's close (yes I read it - I go to Border's and read trash when I get a spare 20 minutes to myself while DD is asleep).

No further elaboration on what it is exactly that she's seen it do

oh i have read similar in magazines, she is worried about saggy boobs.

That will be the pregnancy that does that, my love.

TheProvincialLady · 22/04/2009 18:03

She's probably worried that the baby would put on weight. She'd probably opt for a low fat formula for her pfb.

Why do I keep hearining/seeing Cheryl Cole spouting about pregnancy and birth ? Is she actually pregnant or even trying to get pregnant ?

Does anyone care what CC does with her breasts ?

I sure as sh*t don't.

chequersmate · 22/04/2009 18:08

Ah now why would a little thing like her not being pregnant/a parent stop her spreading unhelpful anti-breastfeeding myths?

So what does breastfeeding do to your boobs then? My mum is adamant that hers went back to pretty much the same as before after 7 kids...of course I can't prove it

smallorange · 22/04/2009 18:28

Mine are fabulous after BF two

StealthPolarBear · 22/04/2009 18:33

ah wonderful.

MadameCastafiore · 22/04/2009 18:39

God if she thinks the saggy tits are the worst of it wait till the little bugger clamps his hard little gums around her little virgin nipples than she will know real pain!

curlygal · 22/04/2009 18:40

I BF DS for 14 months.

My breasts are MUCH bigger than they were before I was pregnant and not especially droppy of horrific thanks.

Surely someone who maintains an unaturually low body wieght would stuggle to actually get pregnant in the first place? Suppose Posh did it though, always amazes me as would have thought at that much below your natural body wieght your periods would stop?

FrannyandZooey · 22/04/2009 18:41

oh who cares
everyone who actually has a baby is too tired to do anything other than lob their breasts in the direction of it sometimes
she thinks she'll be donning nipple tassles and swanking about while junior sleeps in a fully colour co-ordinated nursery

TheCrackFox · 22/04/2009 18:45

My boob are pretty much the same (BF for over a year) but my stomach, soc, sob, sob.

Somebody might need to explain to Cheryl that she might need to eat more than an apple a day before she has her baby.

Northernlurker · 22/04/2009 18:48

Never mind about just her breasts - if she thinks that motherhood won't impact on every aspect of life and physical being then she'd better keep up with the contraceptives!

Of course your body is going to be different - of course you will be differnt - you've grown an entire person in there - utterly wonderful and miraculous - who wants to look like they've just jogged off the catwalk? (Don't answer that!)

Bottom line - if you're not grown up enough to try to cope with changes that motherhood brings then you aren't grown up enough to be planning a baby!

HeadFairy · 22/04/2009 18:48

exactly what I thought curlgal, I think breastfeeding will be the least of her problems

StealthPolarBear · 22/04/2009 18:55

We're all being a bit unfair
Maybe breastfeeding held one of her friends hostage at gunpoint for ransom

FrannyandZooey · 22/04/2009 18:57

yes maybe breastfeeding kicked her pet bunny then robbed her purse to buy drugs?

KingCanuteIAm · 22/04/2009 19:01

My cousin made exactly the same observation and decided not to BF because of it. Which is up to her, I think the reasons are spurious myself but who am I to judge? As long as the person in question has been given the relevant information and they are making an informed decison then it is up to them.

Personally I don't give a monkies what Cheryl Cole decides to do, it is her choice. I just wish they would stop making news out of it. It is because of the reporting of the choice that young mothers decide to follow IMO not because of the decision itself IYSWIM.

Chulita · 22/04/2009 19:09

Exactly KingCanute - CC can do what she likes, but we don't need to know about it. Maybe I should have written to the local paper to announce how I intended to feed my LO...

chequersmate · 22/04/2009 19:40

Thing is kingcanute, didn't they recently do a study and find that it is pregnancy and not breastfeeding that can cause breasts to sag?

Hence the person in question (Cheryl) wouldn't be making an informed decision, and worse, is perpetuating the myth.

I don't know why she cares though, it's not as though she can't afford to get them 'fixed'.

pregnancy gives you saggy boobs?? I'm convinced my nipples point in opposite directions because DD pulls them towards my armpits when she feeds...surely they weren't always so cross-eyed
I guess whether you breastfeed or not you're still going to make all that milk to start off with and that's gotta do something to virgin boobies.

chequersmate · 22/04/2009 20:04

Dunno really, mine didn't sag during pg or b/fing.

One in the eye for CC I guess

Well good for her if she does bf. Did Posh bf her 3 does anyone know?

But sadly, I can't imagine Cheryl cluster feeding in the evening still in her dressing gown because she hasn't had time to have a shower, stuffing her face with chocolate as no time to cook meals....

She'll have nannies 24/7 and 4 weeks after giving birth will appear on the front cover of HEAT already back to a size 0.

Or am I being cynical?

peppapighastakenovermylife · 22/04/2009 20:24

Lol Chulita. I am two women tonight after feeding DD before bed from just one side.

On side A you have Mrs E cup...on side B you have Mrs C cup.

It actually gave myself and DH a good giggle when I got out the shower lol

Oh and silly silly woman.

KingCanuteIAm · 22/04/2009 21:09

I don't know about what causes saggy breasts, I have to say that I don't think the stretch marks I got from my super-inflated engorged norks in the early days probably did not help anything

Having said that, AFAIK, she has not said it is saggy norks that bother her, saggy can be dealt with, I am sure she is not above a nip or tuck. I should imagine stretch marks would have a bigger effect on her as they are much harder to get rid of IYSWIM.
