So… just told my mum

and she went mad! I understand that im 19 but i wish she would support me. Im doing it for me and no one else.. its my money and its my body. Absolutely gutted as i thought i could tell and speak to my mum about everything..

its only coz she cares..im a mum and wud hate my kids to do sumthin like tht lol..my mum obv didnt jump up n down with excitement for me..she was jst so worried bout it all, give her some time and hopefully she’ll come round x

thanks for sharing, i’m thinking about keeping it a secret. i’m worried if i share that i’m going to, my family would try and convince me otherwise. chin up though! it may just take her a while to come round. i know it’s not the same, but when my mum eventually saw my tattoo i thought she’d never speak to me again, and she did hugs xxx

My mum was the same, but I eventually convinced her to go to the consultation with me n it’s made things 100% better! It gave her piece of mind about the procedure. U should maybe try that! It’s crap wen ur family isn’t supportive but keep ur chin up n remember its for u n no1 else xxxx

Girls I was the same with my mum, I was so scared but I told her last week and she went mad too! But she has come round and has said she’s not happy but will support me if it’s what I want to do, I don’t think I could do it with out her, she lives 4 hrs away so don’t see her that much but still feel like a massive relief telling her!

I hope she comes round Hun, I’m sure she will once she has calmed down and can see ur doing it for you. At the end of the day she is ur mum and she loves u the way you r and is trying to protect u! Give her some time Hun xxx

My mam is fine about mine really supportive! But my dad and boyfriend are not happy at all its caused alot of arguments between me and my boyfriend x

She will most definitley be trying to protect you hun. I had a huge conversation with my Mam about it and thankfully she is totally supportive of the idea. At the end of the day it is your body and your mam will come round eventually once she calms down (it may have just come as a bit of a shock to the system!!) The first conversation about it never ever seems to go well!! Chin up!! xx

I told my dad from the start and wasn’t gonna tell my mum, but 4 days ago I felt guilty and thought I’d better and was so shocked as she was amazing and sed she knew that I’d be sensible and knew I wasn’t happy!

It’s been great having her support and she’s messages me lots since (I live over 120 miles from home) and was the first to txt me today, my op day xx

So basically what I’m saying is is that ur mum is jus angry and prob thinking ‘boob job’ rather than breast augmentation. Both mean the same but are taken in very different ways, so approach ur mum again, explain ur reasons, the research uv done and make her listen, I promise that once she knows all the facts rather than the assumptions u will have her full support xxx

My mum wasn’t over the moon but I said I’m not asking for her permission, I’m telling her cos she’s my mum and I love her. She said if its what makes me happy then ok. Since I’ve had them down she says I look great. I think she was worried i’d come out looking like Jordan or it might have gone wrong. People automatically like Crampy said think boob job and turn it in to something sleazy when it’s not.

My dad and 4 of my brothers don’t know, don’t think they really need to know. Only a few of my friends know, I done it for me not them so don’t worry too much huni, she’ll come round xxx

I’m not telling my mum, i can’t deal with the guilt of knowing how upset she will be. i know that she has different visions of what a boob job is. she hasnt done all the research ive done and doesnt understand how upset i get about my body image. ive only told my boyfriend and for me thats the best way. obviously id love to be able to tell my mum but sometimes what they dont know cant hurt them xxxx

Its just really difficult as its making me feel like im being selfish and i hate to disappoint my family. I dont plan on telling anyone apart from my mum, friends and boyfriend as its not something that i want everyone to know about! Im fully aware of the risks and complications.. i have made sure ive researched thoroughly and have sorted out everything by myself so i am being sensible and making sure that im doing this for the right reasons.

I just want to add as well how amazing everyone is on the forum, just having people to speak to who are in the same situation as me who i know will give good advice and wont judge so thanks girls xx

It is a great place Stacey, helped me loads before and after the op. I had the same thoughts about being selfish, especially when I looked at my boys. After all it is an operation with a GA but sometimes in life we have to be selfish in the short term to be happy long term.

Keep ur chin up huni xx

Hats off to you for being brave enough to go for the procedure and have the courage to tell your mum. I wd not dream of telling my mum and I’m in my thirties!!!!!

What ever decisions you all make,The the forum will always be here,to air your views and worries,I know its not the same as taking a close family member in to your confidence,but you will always find someone you can talk to here,xxx

Im a mum of 5. My eldest 2 girls have had BA this year and I am 4 wks PO. I am bvery suportive as my eldest lost alot of weight ans I know how much confidence she would gain from a better bust and my middle daughter didnt have any boobs. I care and love my kids and yes worried on the day but they are adults and look amazing. I want them to be happy and if it means a BA then I understood completely. Your mum will come round in time. Good luck. xx

My mum went spare at me when I first suggested it, I’m 20 and wanted it since I was 17! My mum is anti-surgery and even convinced my aunty to back out of a nose job when she spent a year saving but once I sat her down explained to her ect she came round and even took me to my consultation, Is taking me to my post op everything! Its probably just a shocker her little girls gunna go through all that and will take some tome to come round. It’ll be fine Hun honest xx

Aw give her time, she may come round. I was so nervous about telling mine and I told her 5 weeks before. She was very quiet for a while but on the day she was so excited x
