"I would love to continue breastfeeding but now I can't get over the fact that at 22 my breasts will never look the same.
"And I would just say f*** that guy but it could potentially be true.
"I don't know how to get over this feeling, or prevent the eventual sagging, and already thinking about getting a boob job after."
Since sharing her concerns, the woman's posted has raked in over 200 comments to date.
One person wrote: "Imagine if you had (or if you have) a daughter and someone said this to her when she's pregnant or with child. Love your body, love yourself. He can go f*** himself."
Meanwhile, a second wrote: "My breast did change after having my daughter. My nipples got bigger and darker, I went up a few sizes when breastfeeding, then they deflated and aren't perky like they used to be.
"BUT I've never had a guy say anything about them. My bf loves my boobs," they added.
