age makes themsag a bit. Pregnancy makes them sag a bit, breastfeeding won't make them sag any more than just being pregnant will. there's lots of old ladies that didn't breastfeed with saggy boobs- the truth hurts sometimes, but it happens to everyone sooner or later- big or small

Good answer. Gravity will make them sag with no help from kids or breastfeeding The real key is getting back into shape after having those babies. Doing the same type of excercises men do to shape their pectoral muscles will help to perk them back up a bit. Gravity will eventually win anyway, depressing but true. Being in good shape helps a bunch, though.

oh. thanks! Ever since my cousin's wife got pregnant she's been all fat and stretch-marked, when she used to be skinny as a pole. I don't mind being a but plumb but i thought the same might happen to me.

Childbirth is still scary thought.

[motherhubbard]

I loved giving birth, I really did. every time. Even that last one and that was a bit rough and I ended up having a c-section, but I still loved it. The c-section went great. I have giant babies. the last one was 11 1/2 lbs. my smallest was 8-9, I had a 9, and I had one that was 10-9 and gave birth to him at home- all of it was great! It doesn't have to be a scary thing. I think the scariest part is just when you don't know what's going to happen

It just freaks me out, I'm a bit of a commitment phobe too. So i don't think i would ever meet a man with whom I would actually want to have kids. My mother had my brother, then went barren, she had to take medication to have me and then she had about 7 abortions. I don't want to be like that.

You gave birth at home? Like lamatze?

It really isn't too bad. I had one C-section and one in the hospital. My son was 9 weeks early and also feet first, so they just did the c-section because it was less risky. My little girl was a VBAC, meaning no c-section, and she came out fine as well. I had to be in the hospital to have her, just in case, so I took advantage of the epidural. I still think if I had planned on another I could have done a home birth and not taken meds, but it sure was nice when labor got rough The end result is worth so much more than anything you have to do to get it. I don't regret a single stretch mark or even the extra 40 pounds put on over the course of 2 pregnancies. Granted I'm working on taking off some of the weight, but I don't care if I ever see 117lbs on the scale again. It just doesn't matter that much when you see what you get. I never wanted children as a teen, and then married young. That also wasn't in the cards for me. Anyway, after 5 years of marriage and two wonderful kids... I wouldn't change a moment of it. All I can think now is that I would have been so alone if life had went the way I planned.

You all do know I will not sleep at night. Most of my nightmares include childbirth. I think is beautiful and strong (and is one of the reason i think women are stronger than men). Children are beautiful indeed and worth it.....it's just i'm a wimp! And the tv videos I watched on it don't help either.

[motherhubbard]

TV is not real. I don't think most women really scream and cry and all of that stuff. Most all of the women I know have enjoyed the actual giving birth part of having a baby.

[applepie]

Motherhubbard is right. You can't trust the TV. I've yet to meet a woman who actually screamed and made the fuss you see on TV. My sister, who has to be the world's biggest sissy, made it through with no medication or anything.

[motherhubbard]

me too and i cry if i get a splenter or a bee sting or YIKES if i cut myself shaving!!!***!!! I really hate that one

[Bakiryu]

Oh, really? TV has scarred me for life.

[motherhubbard]

I think it's scary. I can totally understand that. it's hard not to be scared when you don't really know what's going to happen, but it's not as bad as TV makes out. That's really just a laod of crap for the most part.

[Bakiryu]

So, nothing you watch on tv is realistic? It made me become a celibate! (is that the correct term?)
