    Hey!

    So i wrote about the worst burning, shooting, pulling pain in my right boob and was convinced I had something wrong, I cried all week and regretted what I did – until yesterday!!!

    I had my strapping off and oh my god – its the best feeling ever, i got a little emotional because this is the first time I’ve ever had boobs, I didnt know where to place my arms etc haha.

    I still feel that my boobs are too big, however I know this is down to the swelling, my due period, tablets etc… But i know Im going to be so happy once settled. I also no longer have that horrendous pain when moving and i can freely sit myself up and get out of bed which has improved my mood!! 🙂

    The only concern I have is little red scars on my boobs which look like stretch marks which have bleed, however nurse said this was from the strapping and will fade – did anyone else have this?

    Pics attached of when I first had strapping removed in clinic – and then one from today x

    @temi hey love, aw thank you! I will be happier once the swelling finally goes! Oh great – thank for letting me know – should I be putting any oil or cream on the marks to help them go or have you just left them to do it naturally? happy healing to you too! xx
