Dear Pre-Motherhood Breasts,
As I reflect on the changes my body has undergone since becoming a parent, it is you that I find myself missing the most. Yes, I sometimes yearn for the days of carefree laughter without worrying about any leaks, and I do miss my beloved shoes that had to be given away due to a half-size increase. Of course, I reminisce about my former toned abdomen. But you, dear breasts, were the one steadfast feature that consistently brought me confidence and allure, regardless of my weight fluctuations or bad hair days.
Once, you were the crowning jewel of my physique. A perfectly perky B+, you struck the ideal balance—small enough to go braless yet ample enough to accentuate my figure and add a touch of sexiness. In the words of a classic sitcom, you were undeniably real and truly spectacular.
Looking back, I realize I may have taken you for granted. For over a decade, you stood by me, and yet I never fully appreciated your beauty. Perhaps I wasn’t as grateful as I should have been. As soon as I concluded breastfeeding, however, it became painfully clear you had decided that your time with me was over.
You shrank, you flattened, and you lost your youthful perkiness. My once full and rounded B+ breasts have now transformed into a disappointing, deflated A.
That said, I must acknowledge the incredible feats you accomplished. You nourished two little lives! That is truly remarkable, and you did it without the complications I feared—no bleeding nipples or mastitis. Bravo to you!
However, now that your primary function has concluded, it seems you have chosen to retreat from the spotlight. While I may not need you in the same way, I still desire your presence. I want you to help me feel feminine and attractive amidst the chaos of motherhood.
Regrettably, no amount of wishing (unless directed towards a plastic surgeon) will restore you to your former glory. So, it’s time for me to move forward. But before I do, I must express my gratitude. Thank you for the years of confidence you provided me, for your timely arrival at my only school dance, and for filling out my summer dresses and tank tops. Most importantly, thank you for nourishing my sons.
I understand that I am more than just the sum of my physical parts. I am still beautiful (even on days when I forget to shower), and I continue to be myself. Though I may not have my once-spectacular breasts, I can still rely on a couple of fantastic padded bras to help me feel a bit more like my old self.
For those considering the journey of parenthood, you might find valuable information on home insemination at Make a Mom or explore Hopkins Medicine for excellent resources related to pregnancy and home insemination.
In summary, it’s essential to recognize and honor the parts of ourselves that change through the journey of motherhood. Embracing those transformations can lead to a deeper understanding of our identities beyond physical appearances.
