Tighty, hard, swollen ouchies that made me want to weep and look for a bucket of ice to relieve the burning. (ok that really sounds like porn lol) Anyway I had a lovely c cup before the "teenager that lives in my house" was born. Afterwards they never went back they have stayed at an E cup ever since waaaaaa.<br />Cabbage leaves were a godsend for me. My mum told me about them....bliss, used to walk around the house with cabbage leaf in each cup lmao. Ex Hubby used to call me Mrs Coleslaw. <br />One thing that may help with the kicking in the scar, I used to put the baby on a pillow on my lap instead of having to hold him constantly, sounds lazy but it did stop him putting the boot in.Go-Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746808309929560250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-39507315240800535912009-09-16T17:02:43.157-04:002009-09-16T17:02:43.157-04:00Yet another reason I'm secretly glad I can'...Yet another reason I'm secretly glad I can't breast-feed.

I know that doesn't help you now...but there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
