Rebecca Judd reveals the most excruciating thing she suffered after the birth of her first child.

Sharing with news.com.au for the launch of her new book, The Baby Bible, Rebecca shared a photo of her breasts in the days following his birth.

“I looked ridiculous … like Dolly Parton on steroids,” she said.

“I was shocked. Oscar being the first I think my boobs just freaked out. They were so hard and it was really difficult to breastfeed because you have to nuzzle in to the boob to latch on to the nipple, but because they were rock hard it was almost like he couldn’t get on properly and it was really difficult.

She said the pain was “excruciating” and worse than when the epidural wore off during labour.

“For me it was more painful,” she said.

“I was a blubbering mess for two days with these bloody boobs. To touch them was like touching a wall. They were rock hard. It was awful. They were boiling hot. Burning hot.”

  • My sister said she finally got decent boobs after her first child, not as big as Bec’s but size B. My 3rd child was my fun one as had to lay on my back to feed him as my milk came too fast and was coming out of his nose and mouth.

  • Aw bless, that must have been very painful ! I can imagine it must have been very difficult to latch with these boobs. Glad they turned back to normal.
