It is truly amazing all the changes our bodies go through after having a baby. For we women, it can be a real challenge for us to not only get back into shape but having to deal with all of the slow healing process that our bodies tend to do.
First off their are the wounds around our lower parts of our body that have to heal. Even trying to sit can hurt. But, then our breasts hurt as well. This is because of the process in which our bodies prepare us to feed our new babies. This process is called engorging. If you have breast implants, you may find this time to be more painful. This is because our bodies have to work a little differently, they have to work around the implants in some aspects in order to produce the milk we need to make. It is believed that some women actually produce less milk when having beast implants.
Depending on how the implants were placed, you may experience completely normal changes. Some of the methods used for implants are, through the armpit, under the fold of the breast or through the areola (nipple). It is believed, that women who have had their implants inserted through the areola tend to have a few more issues with sensitivity. Some woman have not been able to breastfeed due to the level of sensitivity. It is said that they have more pain in their breasts when the baby tries to nurse.
If you have implants and plan to have children, it is a good idea to talk to your doctor, be sure they know you have implants and how they were inserted. This will help your doctor to determine if you might have any issues.
