I'm almost 7 months pregnant and am having a hard time deciding if I should breast feed or not. I don't know how to explain the situation without offending breast feeders, but I don't think I could feel comfortable breast feeding. I was raped when I was younger and have since been very uncomfortable with my body, especially my b*****s and don't like the idea of anyone touching them, even if it is in a non-sexual way. I also get offended when I hear some women say it should be a "sensual experience", because I'm not understanding what exactly they mean? I just don't get it. Has anyone else felt uncomfortable towards breast feeding? It's not that I wouldn't feed my baby breast milk if I could, but I just think it might traumatize me or remind me of things. I feel that bottle feeding would be best for me and for my baby and I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going to do, but I'm just wondering if any other mothers have had a problem getting used to the idea of breast feeding, or if any of you have been treated badly because you bottle feed?
