Breastfeeding after Augmentation

I recently had a Breast Augmentation surgery last April and I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with baby number two. I would like to try to breastfeed but not sure how it will go. My implants are sub-muscular and my incision was made in my areola. Has anyone else been in my situation and if so how did breastfeeding go?

From what I've read, it's possible, but it varies so much woman to woman. I would just give it your best, pump between feeding early on to super charge your supply and see how it goes! Some women are able to breastfeed as long as they want even with augmentation

Thanks, my fiancé really wants me to breastfeed so I figured I would give it a shot. I want to know what to expect so I don't set myself up to fail. Have you used a specific breast pump you really liked or had success with? I had one from the hospital last baby because he was early and in the NICU so I didn't have to buy one.
