0pHey girls my BA is on Monday and I’m starting to worry !! I have a 3 year old so I have all theese things running through my head am I being selfish ? What if I don’t wake up from the ga? Is this really the right thing to do? What if I can’t look after her properly( even though I have people around to help the first week) my anxiety is through the roof I have wanted my BA for over ten years and now it’s finally here I’m totally crapping myself !!! Xxx
Aww Emily, try not to worry. Easy to say I know. The GA they use is so minor, you’re only just asleep and hardly under for very long at all. I was totally petrified, but really before you know it you’re awake and saying ‘wow’ I was scared for nothing. I started wanting a BA in my late teens and it took me til 47 to actually get up the guts to do it. I so wish I’d done it 20 years ago now!! You’ll be so much happier and more confident and your little girl will gain that from you too xx
I totally 2nd what AllyH has said hun, stay happy & relaxed just breathe through it & it’ll all be over before you know it 🙂 don’t fret its obviously something you’ve thought about just enjoy & keep moving forward, good luck lovely & merry Christmas xx

0pHey hun good luck for when its times and really I was the same. Wanted it for so long but when the time came n I pulled up outside hospital and gave my lil boy a kiss I cried n cried even when I was havin GA thinkin should I tell them to stop. The same questions ran through my head…but honestly im ten days PO and would do it all again. Best xmas prezzie ever. First few days aint easy but once thats over it gets better aslong as you have support around u. Just think you will fibally have the boobs you have always wanted xx

0pSorry hadn’t finished, I was the same about the GA and my babies – Just felt so selfish doing this while I had them unaware at home, As soon as the anethetist mentioned them again i started ballllling!
He quickly changed the subject to alcohol .. And then I was lights out for what didnt even feel like a second!!I was so scared about the GA I hadnt even given the rest of the process a second thought, But as everyone else said to me –
That really is the easiest bit.Good Luck Honey xxx

0pThanks hunni I really appreciate it I’m feeling like such a bad mum lol!! How long was it before you could look after your babies again ?? Xxx

0pBabes don’t feel like a bad mum, I totally understand what you mean – But just remember the reason your doing this is because this will make you happy and no one wants a sad mummy 🙂
I will be totally honest with you in that I wasn’t as lucky as most on here and I really did struggle afterwards – I’m not sure if it was down to the tight strapping or the size or what but I was quite sore and uncomfortable until day 4 PO and it then started easing up, I couldn’t lift my arms to get dressed or do my hair and would never have been able to bath or pick up my 3 year old etc….
I was lucky that I had support at home from hubby,
Although to be honest my eldest son (9) has done most of the leg work and has been an absolute SUPERSTAR he was helping me get dressed, bringing me everything I needed and even doing my hair! Bless him!Today I am 6 days PO and is the first proper day I’ve been out, taking the kids to the cinema & I have started to feel normal again, Can do my hair now and got dressed myself (The skinny jeans were a bitch though, Hubby had to pull them up and do them up – Awkward, He was like how the HELL do you walk in these …..)
But all in all I would say for me 6 days onwards you should be feeling better to do things ‘properly’ with your 3 year old babes so should work out perfect with the help you have at home for the week- You will be absolutely fine babes and you never know you might be one of the lucky ones and find it an absolute breeze!!
xxxxxxxxAgree with @pinkfly7 – I am now day 6 po and feel just about ‘normal’ again. I have two boys age 4 and 6 and i struggled to do much for the first couple of days but then was ok as long as i took things easy. Now feel ok just wish i could have a shower!!!! Haha. PLEASE dont feel guilty or worry about the ga, that was my biggest worry but my hubby reassured me on the way there by saying i am much more likely to die in a car crash on the way there than on the operating table. Its a really low strengh ga and you are awake after 1hr. Just relax enjoy the rest!!!! That was the best bit! X
