Searching through the scarey stories

There are so many old wives tales and so many old stories. Passed down from generations and also through the mouths of our own selves. For example:
#Omg your having a hysterectomy - oh dear your finished your hair goes grey and your vagina will dry up, that's the end for you! - ahhh this one scared me half to death lol 😂
Yep and guess what none of that happened.
#Why are you having a double mastectomy you will die anyway and you have mutalated your body for nothing. Wrong again luckily I am still here. Phewwwww!
#if you have heartburn your baby will be bald. Really I had heart burn all through pregnancies. All my boys had black thick hair at birth. So much hair it was amazing. So that's not true.
#Breastfeeding stops you getting breast cancer! I wish this one was true as I breast fed my boys till 18 months each. Ok that's not true either.
So moral of the story, listen take it all in something's will be very helpful and some things will worry you.
But in the end we are all different, we all cope different, we heal differently. So sharing is a great way to reasearch. Hopefully I am helping some of you on your journey. We all get scared and horror stories are everywhere!
But I the end, go with your heart if it feels right, its right for you.

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Monumental cleavage alert! Did Natalie Portman get a boob job?

Black Swan Oscar winner Natalie Portman has sparked feverish debate about whether or not she's had a boob job, after she appeared on camera at an American football game looking bustier than before. The 31-year-old, who gave birth to son Aleph in June 2011, was watching the game in Austin, Texas during a break from shooting the as-yet-untitled new Terrence Malick film. With co-star Michael Fassbender by her side, a newly blonde Natalie was spotted by the cameras during the ABC broadcast.

"Natalie Portman @ the Texas-Baylor game ... boob job? Looks like it!" one user wrote. "Wait a second, did Natalie Portman get a boob job? Is she pregnant? On the sidelines of Texas game and #wow," another tweeted. Comments on the YouTube clip ran along the same lines, albeit many of them ...
