Oh, I have considered this. I hate mine. Its impossible to get bras in my size seeing how there is actually an entire cup size difference in the two. One is a C and the other is a D. I Felt the better option for me was to get the D reduced to a C. I have never actually looked into it - longed for it but always figured it was a cost I couldn't justify. Seeing how the sizes don't cause me any pain and its just personal problems with them I figure I am pretty much out of luck on medical reasons too.

I hope everything turns out just how you want it cookie! Maybe one day I can get mine to match, but for now I'll be happy to hear that it is worth the wait.

Thing is, the reduction may or may not have impacted on my ability to b/f. I was able to squirt a few times, much to my delight, but I never actually had the sensation of my milk "coming in". Interestingly, my mum didn't b/f me either and from what she's alluded, it wasn't from want of trying. Some people are able to b/f after, some aren't. Some people are able to b/f without a br, some aren't. I think the most important thing is to go into the whole b/f journey with a "i'll try and if I can't, I haven't failed" approach.

FWIW, my boobs haven't sagged after Pip.

Kaz all I know is that I am scared of getting pregnant again ever as I grew two cup sizes before I was even 5 1/2 weeks. Then I had colostrum at 16 weeks... which I guess wont be as evident this time... I dont know that I even want to breastfeed knowing how much they grew this time around. I am at a war within me and soooooo thankful I have at least a couple of years to deal with it!

And yes totally with you on looking skinny everywhere else. I don't care about my belly, I can wear my chubba bubba belly with pride, but the boobs just make me look RIDICULOUS!!!

Well I guess things went as expected, great candidate blah blah.
Told me if I want to go ahead to make another appointment with his suite receptionist and come back with questions.
But i don't have questions. I just don't have questions
He also gave me a number for a doctor that works through the same hospital but in the public side and told me to give him a call.

I was happy to pay out of pocket no PHI but now DF is freaking out if something goes wrong and i have to stay in hospital that is what we can't afford. The private accomodation fees.

Now I just don't know what to do. I literally have no quality of life like this. It's a struggle just to sit down on the floor and play with DS but I have no idea what else i can do.
I either get PHI and wait it out 12 months or i go public... neither is what i wanted

and questions... ergh, what questions? other than ok so what are the stats like really for people dying, but i have no questions. i just want it over

I am also trying to find info on breast reduction. Has anyone in Adelaide had it done and went the public system? How long did u wait? Im trying to work it out if its worth getting private health insurance or not.
