I feel sick!

Well im biting the bullet and telling my mum tomorrow! BA is next thursday so can’t leave it much longer! Wish me luck ladies…i think i’ll need it! xx

arr hun i am sure your mum will be fine….at the end of the day she may worry as all mums do but she will want you to be happy xxxx

I told my mum 4 days after op. She knew I’d been thinking about but wasn’t happy; we are very close. I decided to go ahead and just tell her after op. She cried when I told her, felt awful, but think she was more pleased to see I was ok and relieved that I didn’t go too big so we don’t have to tell my dad xx

When I had my first BA I was 22 and I brought

my mum to the 5 different consultations I had to choice which company I was going with.

At first I think she thought I was abit crazy until that first consult when I took my padded bra off. She was so shocked and never realised how completely flat I was (I hide it well for years)

Mum actually said she would have encouraged me and infact would have helped me pay for one earlier if she had known as it must have affected me to be such a tall yet average girl’s weight but to have never grown boobs.

I think that changed her mind there and then and she saw me grow even taller from standing tall with confidence afterwards!

Maybe if u invite ur mum along and make her part of it? Well maybe the flat chested girls mum’s

Might understand?

In saying that my mum didnt think i needed to go bigger last week but having seen me go through it before and not turn

Out like the freaky looks they see on tv, she was pretty cool about it plus im 30 and abit old to be told what to do now i guess!

Good luck girls xx

Im a mum of 3 girls. My eldest daughter had hers done 6 months ago after losing weight. She looked amazing and her confidence has grown so much. Then my middle daughter had hers done 1 week ago as she didnt get much in the boob department and hey Im having mine done in 12 days. I want my daughters to be happy and confident and this has given them that. I was worried about the op as all mums would be, but they kept me up to date with it all. I agree though, involve your mum in it if you can. Im sure once she sees how much you want it and how happy and confident you will be as a woman, she will be happy for you. Best of luck with it all. xx

hi girls as many of u already know, i am in the SAVING BLOODY HARD group!! ha ha ha im 24 and my mam wasnt to keen on me having a ba at first. I have never been of this site and talking about it, also working extra shifts at work to pay more money into my savings! My mam realised actually how much this means to me and she has ask if she can come to all my appointments which im so happy about! if there is 1 person to count on its always your mam. xxx

Well i did it!!! Ive just told her! It didn’t go nearly as bad as i thought, except the moment when i could tell she was getting teary but wouldn’t admit it. I nearly cried then too! Overall though she was ok, she said she will never agree with it or be ok with it because she doesnt think i need it and she worries that its an unnecessary surgery but if its really what i want then she will accept it. And if i need her she will be straight over (she lives in Ireland.) Phew that is such a weight lifetd! Thanks for all your help and advice ladies xxx

So pleased it went well hun, I’m in exactly the same boat I’m really close to my mum but I just can’t bring myself to tell her about this as she really would not understand, I actually was planning to never tell her and if she noticed I would confess lol.

It’s stupid really I’m a mum myself so you would think it would be no big deal but I just can’t do it. I think you’ve been very brave lol xx

Aaarrrggghhh im feeling really rubbish now! Feel really guilty for upsetting my mum cos although she’s not really lettin on i know she is really upset! Im really close to her too and hate disappointing her or making her worry. I thought you were only supposed to get the booby blues after your op.

missym83, you should be brave too! I know its hard and im feeling like s**t now but i know it was the right thing to do. You never know, she could surprise you xx

Ah well done amy, I know how hard it is. I bet you feel a weight has been lifted. I had sleepless nights about telling my mum and when I finally told her she said she knew I’d been keeping something from her! She actually cried because she thought I was going to say I’d got a terminal illness because I was in tears telling her! All mums will care about is that you’re ok and that you’re happier as a result of going through all of this. Keep her informed throughout the process and I am sure she will be grateful to be included in your life x

Yeah i think it was a bit hard for her to take but I said i didnt want to wait until after i’d had it to tell her as I thought she would be more upset by that and she said she was glad i told her….now she’s just on about me telling my dad…not sure if i want to though lol. Apart from anything he’s just lent me money to pay off my debts so i dont want it to seem like a slap in the face or anything, but my boyfriend is paying for most of my ba and he said my debts are up to me which is fair enough. This has definitely been the most stressful part of the whole process! lol xx

Amy I am not sure if your parents are Irish or just living over in Ireland. I am from Ireland too and over here things like boobjobs are alot more taboo than in the UK.

My god when I got mine done back in 2003 it was just the most horrific thing to some people…only the people on “tv” ever got things like this done…

good old ireland and “What will the neighbours think” eh!!

Here is a really different way of looking at it… Might be different in the uk than in Ireland but when an unmarried girl gets pregnant over here, it is very much frowned upon. In alot of cases the girls parents are embarrased of what the neighbours will think…but once that baby is born and the whole world didnt end, it is no longer an issue.

Ok before the mum’s start coming at me saying kids and implants are not quite the same thing (I know Ive had both! but my point it…at the moment it is a big deal, but once the procedure is over and they see you have not turned into one of those girls you see on tv with her boobs bigger than her head, then it wont even be an issue anymore…failing that then the only other thing I can suggest would be to get pregnant if your not married, then the boobjob will no longer seem as big a deal!! lol (hope that made you smile abit) xx

Laussie my stepdad is Irish, was brought up between England and Ireland and my mum is English. They have been living over there for a few years now. My mum is pretty liberal really, its just a worry thing i think and she doesnt think i need it. Hopefully once its done she will be ok with it though. I go over to Ireland a few times a year so i know the way of life and traditions and it is quite different to the UK but not necessarily a bad thing, i love it over there. And that last bit did make me smile alot, only problem is my mum cant wait to be grandma! Been with my bloke for 2 years now and she keeps goin on about how im not gettin any younger…im only 27!! lol xx

and thanks hun xx
