I want a breast reduction, everyone that I encounter always coments on how large my breasts are. I have a 40 h cup and they are quite large, they werent always so big but 2 pregnancies and nursing 2 babies and they grew. I want breast reduction surgery. Has anyone done this? Do you have regrets? How long did it take to recover? Will I be able to take care of my 1 year old and 4 year old after, or will I need to hire someone? I want to go to a b-c cup, will this look rediculous after having such a large chest?

Any size that gives you back pain is considered huge.
Then again, I also think anything over a DD is huge.
I had a reduction Feb 2006 (38J to 38C) and do not regret it one bit.
I have NO regrets whatsoever, I was out of work for two weeks (you should take off longer if you are in a physically active job), and my incisions took some time to close but I was back to 100% after a month or two.
You really should have someone to help take care of your kids for at least a few weeks after the surgery as you should not be lifting or doing any real strenuous activity.
I have tons of info for you, if you want to message me your email address I have a "surgery story" you can read.
Here are a few sites that you really should look at. The first one is an excellent support/FAQ/picture site and the second is about breastfeeding after a BR.

I would think you'd need to hire someone for at least a few weeks to a month, both for the kids and for yourself. That is, if you don't have family that can help.
I'd go to a C cup but not a B. I'm sure if you saw a doctor about the reduction, they would be able to help you decide on the proper size to go to, also. Good luck~

Wow, all I can say. I am barely 34 a. By the way, check with your insurance. most insurances will pay for breast reduction if done for medical reasons like back pain, etc.
