(Photo by Donna Ward/Getty Images) Donna Ward—Getty Images by [Jeff Nelson / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Jeff Nelson / People Contributor Apr 12, 2017 3:15 PM UTC [**Kelly Rowland**](http://people.com/tag/kelly-rowland/) is serving some serious #realtalk about breastfeeding and her post-baby body. In her new parenting guide [_Whoa, Baby!_](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738219428/?tag=timecom-20)— out Tuesday — the R&B singer opens up about her experiences as a first-time mom, offering insights on the good, the bad and the ugly sides of motherhood she wishes someone had shared with her before she and husband [**Tim Weatherspoon**](http://people.com/celebrity/kelly-rowland-marries-tim-weatherspoon/) welcomed [**Titan Jewell**](http://celebritybabies.people.com/2015/05/08/kelly-rowland-son-titan-no-negativity/) in 2014. “All that gnawing at your nipples will take its toll!

Thanks source=in-article)_._ “My nipples were HUGE — we are talking the size of Frisbees — and sometimes I could see these veins bulging out while I was nursing,” she continues. “My boobs themselves were so long and stretchy that I sometimes felt like I could’ve swung them over my shoulders.” The [Destiny’s Child](http://people.com/tag/destinys-child/) veteran also said she underwent breast augmentation surgery years before she became a mom — and admits that she’s open to having another boob job after she has another child. “Even with the silicon action, it was like some of the air had been sucked out and they just sort of hung there like flapjacks,” she wrote. Added the singer, “I can’t speak for everyone, but I know I’m going to see someone (wink, wink) after I have my second kid. In the meantime, I just tried to enjoy my ability to feed my baby!” [_Whoa, Baby!: A Guide for New Moms Who Feel Overwhelmed and Freaked Out (and Wonder What the #\*$& Just Happened)_](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738219428/)_,_ by Rowland and **Dr. Tristan Emily Bickman** with **Laura Moser**, is out now. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/"},"headline":"Kelly Rowland Gets Real About Breastfeeding Changed Her Body","datePublished":"2017-04-12T15:15:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:05:25.919Z","description":"‘They just sort of hung there like flapjacks’","url":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/","keywords":["motto","motherhood","breastfeeding"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3cd9fae452d8594/6988c26f0a4a22ebc49cda6b/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeff Nelson / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta3cd9fae452d8594/6988c26f0a4a22ebc49cda6b/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Build Series Presents Kelly Rowland Discussing \"Whoa, Baby!\"","caption":"Build Series Presents Kelly Rowland Discussing \"Whoa, Baby!\"","creditText":"Donna Ward—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4736288/kelly-rowland-breastfeeding-body-new-book/","name":"Kelly Rowland Gets Real About Breastfeeding Changed Her Body"}}]}] ```
