Becks' Story

I am 26 years old, married and have an 18 month old daughter that I truly hope, will not inherit my families curse of being big breasted.

As to date, I am not even sure of my exact cup size. The largest bra I have ever been able to get was a K-cup and it was still way to small.

I have in the past and still go through all of the usual torment of being big breasted, ie. neck, back and shoulder pain, deep and painful grooves in my shoulders. I suffer from migraines because of this. I have difficulty trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. I get the usual sexual harrassment both verbally and physically. I spent my entire high school years with an awful nickname relating to my breasts. Most people didn't even know my real name, but they all new who I was because of my nickname. It was totally humiliating. As a teenager, I used to bind my chest to appear smaller and to make it possible to do physical education at school. This of course was painful but served it's purpose. I am just really lucky that my husband, who comes from the same town as me, understands what I go through.

I was unable to breastfeed my daughter because of my size. It was impossible to get her to latch on properly and stay on. My breasts were just too big. The first three weeks of her life were hell for her and me. Our doctor, midwife and plunket nurse thought her problem could have been one of several things like colic or an upset stomach... but in the end, it was quite simple, she was starving. I found it really frustrating and I felt like a failure. I had wanted so badly to be able to feed her naturally.

I have trouble finding clothes to fit. It's impossible for me to do any real form of exercise to loose weight and stay fit. Every bra that I wear is way too small and really hurts. I find my whole situation really depressing. I wish so badly that the relevant health authorities would finally see that being big breasted is a health issue and try to help us. Being big breasted has totally consumed and ruined my life and I'm sure it has done the same for many other woman, in the same situation.
