Breast Implants And Pregnancy
Posted: 02-02-06 23:16pm

Hi! I'm new and this is kind of a random question but ive been looking online and I can't find an answer anywhere. I know all about breastfeeding with implants and all of that but I was wondering if its any different during pregnancy if you have them? Like more or less soreness?

Oops.. Probably should have clarified that lol. Ok so my name is elizabeth, i'm 19, yes I have implants I got them in august and I just found out a week ago that i'm pregnant :) which i'm excited about, it wasn't planned but I have a supportive boyfriend of almost 3 years who is completely ready to step up and be there. Thats a little more than you asked lol but sorry for not clearing all that up at first!!

You will be able to breastfeed, but your boobs will take a mahor hit and not look good at all..You would definately need to get them redone. I am 23 , nurse, implants, no kids.

"according to the institute of medicine (iom), any kind of breast surgery, including breast implant surgery, makes it at least three times more likely that a woman trying to breastfeed will have an inadequate milk supply (lactation insufficiency). More here

might also want to check out "nursing with breast implants" from la leche league.

Good luck. I don't think it's anything that can't be overcome with some determination, education and patience. :d
