    i had my baby boy 2 months ago and although ive lost alot of the weight and got back into most of my clothes i still feel awful. i have no nice under wear is there such a thing when you breast feed?, all my nursing bras are plain white or black and boring and i just feel like a bloody vending machine!. Hubby wont go near my boobs as they spray milk out constantly so its bound to be a turn off!. Dont get me wrong i love bf my baby but my self esteem is pants at mo and im eating choc too much when i know its no good , and i need to take up some exercise. Im not over weight size 12 but always liked myself now i just think yuk! sorry for moan xx

    aww hun, figleaves.com do some really nice feeding bras as do john lewis, so much nicer than the boring plain ones you can get. I did read somewhere about a company called hotmilk, apparantly they do fantastic maternity/bf underwear, treat yourself (with hubby credit card of course). xxx

    I some some nice mc ones too. However I do agree with Lolly my nipples did have a tendancy to escape from them at times!!! lol! They do some lovely pretty ones
    I never really found a good fitting nusring bra as my boobs went up in down so dramtically in size depending on whether lo was due a feed or had just been fed!! argh!! Not sure if that was just me tho??
    My oh was scared of my boobs too and would'nt touch them during sex for fear of being 'leaked' over!!! It's bloody typical, they looked lovely and 'full' then!! He should've made the most of it!!!

    Aww you should just try and laugh off the milk thing I was a 40F when I had my first child and spraying all over the place my friends found it hilarious when I visit and they had to dive out of the way whilst I was breast feeding. Arrrgh get the kitchen roll quick! I have seen a couple of nice bra and french nix sets in Mothercare. Saying that I just look at my other half in disgust at the moment and the thought of feeling sexy within a month or so of having this baby is far from my mind haha. Instead of eating chocci what about having some yoghurts with chunks of fruit in I had black cherry last night was very satisfying. Thing is men are funny creatures if he is running from your boobs at the mo I don't think a push up bra is going to make any difference. I put on 4 stone having my 1st and he was 9lb 30z and I lost half the weight if birth I went from 12 - 22 when pg. God Im a G size now and 11wks who knows what size I'll be when the milk comes in let alone find a nice bra. I think I'll invest in a couple of cranes

    Seriously though,,, your oh prolly picks up on the fact that you feel insecure and unsexy and gets cold feet. Try some sensual oils in your bath or something go Lasenza and get a nice nightie or top with a hidden support in or keep ya clothes on till you feel your old self again and invest in some Ann Summers crotchless nix ;O)

    Good luck xjx
