After two years of trying and being told I would not be able to have children (due to early menopause) my husband and I gave up trying. We planned a different life for ourselves that did not involve little ones.

Along that note, I went in and had a breast augmentation- and I LOVE the results.However, a week ago I found out I am 8 weeks pregnant. We are thrilled!

I am nervous about breast feeding my baby...will my implants hinder this?

One of my friends had 4 babies, breastfeed them all, and had HUGE implants. Didn't hinder her a bit. But if complications arise try not to blame it on the implants and give up. Get a lactation consultant and try to fix the issues that you have.

I had this same question as I am close to delivering and also have implants. I was told that espoecially since mine were positioned BEHIND the pectoral muscles they won't interfere with milk produciton or bfing at all. In fact I laready am producing colostrum which leaks periodically so I know I can at least make milk. I agree w/ CEVVIN about consulting a lactation consultant if difficulty arises. I nursed my DD (pre-implants) and would hate to miss the opportunity with my DS who will be here in a matter of a few weeks. Good luck, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I think Pam Anderson breastfed her sons.

Yes, You can breastfeed with implants. I am currently nursing my 14 month old. i have had great success. I got mine 10 years ago . They are saline and I had them inserted under the breast. I have heard if you go through the nipple that can be a problem but I have no experience with that. Also, It does however change the look of your breast as does pregnancy. But as you know the bfing is the best thing. Oh yeah my neighbor also bf her lo till she was 7 months with no problems at all too..and her friend/coworker did until she went back to work at 1 year. Go for it and congrats on your pregnancy..how is everything going for you?
