Rachel Ryan, 26, from Carmarthen in Wales claimed to have suffered massive harassment on a daily basis and a fear to breastfeed because of the size of her breasts.
The mother of two is set to have breast reduction surgery which would reduce her breasts from a 38HH to a 38D.
She claimed that she been battling with her large bust from age 12 and that it has caused her nothing but problems. Ryan claimed that in addition to constant back pain, she’s also had to endure harassment, groping and verbal assaults.
She was unable to breastfeed her two children, Layla, now six, and Ollie, five because her boobs used to cover their faces.
Her parents have come to her rescue, agreeing to pay the £6,000 needed for surgery.
Speaking on her travails, Ryan said; “I tried to breastfeed my children but my breasts were too big so I couldn’t.
“The top of my breast would fall cover their faces, so I was nervous that they would be suffocated by it.
“And the milk would come out too fast because of the size of my breasts and they’d start to choke.
“It broke my heart not being able to breastfeed and also, because of the back pain I constantly had, I missed out with being able to play with my children.
“I couldn’t get down on the floor with them and play properly and that was when I realised I needed to get rid of them.
“My parents saw how desperate I was and have agreed to pay for my surgery, and now I’m fundraising to pay them back.”
She had tried to have breast reduction surgery before but had been unable to lose the weight necessary for that back then. She said; “Having constant back pain made it unbearable to exercise, so I couldn’t lose the three stone that I needed to.
“I knew that I needed to have the surgery so tried to fundraise myself, but my parents stepped in to speed up the process.
“Alongside my breasts causing me an issue with my children and my health, it gave me a lot of unwanted attention.
“Because I had bigger boobs people would shout things at me and I’d get unwanted looks as well.”
Ryan is excited about the upcoming surgery saying it’d make her feel girly again and help her do things she couldn’t do before.
“I’m excited to be feminine again and finally be able to wear girly clothes and bras that aren’t sports bras.
“But mainly I’m excited to feel like a mum and be able to play with my children while they are growing up and not feel restricted.
“I know that I’m going to feel amazing, as my breasts have always been the one thing that have held me back.” she said.
