29 boob problems only mothers will understand.

For every mum whose boobs look like socks with tennis balls in them, this is for you.

It took three pregnancies to really do my breasts in. Three pregnancies, years of breastfeeding, gravity and the cruelty that is being a woman. Now, I have to roll them up to put them in a bra.

And pushup bras are no help.

Here are 34 saggy boob struggles that will remind you, you’re not alone:

1. You get ‘double boobs’ when you wear a bra that is too tight.

2. You have to roll your boobs up to put them in a bra in the first place.

3. When you wear a pushup bra what’s left of your boobs threatens to fall out of the top.

4. When you lie down, your boobs fall to the sides.

5. You always always wear a bra, even for sleeping.

6. When bending forward naked, your boobs look like socks with tennis balls at the end of them.

7. You have stretch marks on your cleavage.

8. Your nipples have wrinkles.

9. You go to sleep dreaming of a boob job.

10. You sleep in a bra or at the very least, supportive t-shirts.

11. You can't wear those tops with inbuilt bras or it looks like you have no boobs.

12. You can flatten your boobs into pancakes using your hands and do so just for fun sometimes.

13. When you use bra fillers like 'chicken fillets', they do not stay put.

14. When you lose weight it comes off what's left of your boobs, like some sort of sick joke.

15. You do push-ups thinking it will help lift your boobs but it just makes them sag even more.

16. Your nipples are sinking. Sinking nipples.

17. You consider falling pregnant again so that when your milk comes in you get the boobs of your dreams.

18. You don't jump, or when you do, you hold both your breasts so they don't slap you in the face. Like, say, when you're on a trampoline with the kids.

19. You can't find a swimsuit that caters to your boobs. One-piece suits flatten them into fried eggs and two-piece suits that support your boobs expose your excess tummy skin/stretch marks.

20. You have lost a cup size. Somewhere.

21. When you blow up balloons for your kid's birthday, you feel jealous of them (the balloons).

22. Side boobs.

23. Back boobs.

24. When you do look at them closely there are stray hairs and random spots hiding in the saggy folds.

25. You can product test any 'miracle bra' and carefully explain why it is absolutely useless.

26. Your boobs fit nicely into mammogram machines (a bonus, at last).

27. Your boobs want to meet your belly button and can't understand why you won't encourage their union.

28. If you lean forward, they rest on the table, and not in a sexy way.

29. You can easily hug your younger friend without your boobs getting in the way.
