    Hello!
    I’m in need of some reassurance today. Now that the op is so near I am feeling so guilty for my kiddies. I have 3 children and feel really selfish that I’ve made the decision to go ahead with this. Even hubby had a wobble yesterday too- which I don’t think has helped 🙁
    last minute nerves are definitely kicking in lol x

    Aw hun – I don’t have littleun’s myself but just remember you are doing this for you. So if this makes you feel happier about yourself, your kiddies will also benefit in return 🙂 Good luck with your op! xx

    I have a little boy who’s 3 and I’m really hands on with him I spoil him, I had my op Saturday and u reacted badly to the anaesthetic and haven’t felt well up until today and I still have a really bad headache and boobs like rocks! I’ve told him mummy has had an operation and to be careful he keeps kissing me and saying be careful mum but he’s still wanting me to play with him on the trampoline and things haha but I felt majorly guilty and awful for needing to go to sleep and feeling really sick all the time just not being the mummy he knows. But my partner said it’s ok to be selfish sometimes you’ve given up a lot for yourself with 3 children even us mums deserve something good in life and something for us it’s a few days of pain and discomfort you’ll be so happy after I’ve struggled with it still am but just remember why your doing it and you deserve it xx

    Aww thanks girls 🙂
    Sarah, I’m sorry to hear you had a bad reaction to the anaesthetic Hun,l. I really hope you feel much better soon.
    You are so right, but it’s really hard to convince yourself isn’t it? ….. Mummy guilt is the worst feeling lol!
    My children are 5yrs and twins 3yrs and I’m also really hands on. I know my little girl is going to want to be picked up and cuddled as she basically spends her life attached to my hip haha, so she’s going to struggle 🙁 my boys won’t be so fussed I don’t think. I’m wishing away the next few weeks so that things are back to normal! Xxx

    Hi
    Can relate.. As Moms we give so much sometimes we have a get a gorgeous gift ! I’m 4 days post op and gets easier just make sure you get enough rest , eat well and chill so you can heal faster . I also stopped caffeine and alcohol for at least a month to help with recovery … Xx

    Hello I first wanted to have a ba around 10 years ago after my first child but then kept putting it off thinking of what I could buy him with all that money. Another child later (who is now 4 ) and I still kept having the thoughts of wanting it done. So I asked myself have they done without anything and the answer is no!! Have they a summer holiday booked yes! And do they have a lovely new home yes !! So I work hard why not put myself first for once xx
