Default worried about BF'ing...large saggy breasts

I am due in January and really want/need to breast feed. I want to and I need to for financial reasons.

I am so worried about the physical dynamics of it all I have large (46G) breast that are very saggy. When I sit my nipples do not even show. I have tried the washcloth thing and my breast just completely hangs down over the cloth and the nipple is still really low.
I was just wondering if there are any tips or experianced moms out there who will share with me?

There is a thread below on the same topic, check that out.

I'll repeat my tip, the Boppy has helped me a lot and even makes it comfortable for me. The breast can lay across the it and you just position baby wherever they need to be.

Good luck!

Forget the washcloth with larger breasts, go with a rolled up towel (handtowel) or recieving blanket. And wearing a bra at all times especially during a feeding will help to put them in the right position for feeds.
