If you have the choice, I recommend that you reconsider your decision. Breastfeeding is a very (if not the most) important gift that you could give to your child. What your child could miss if he doesn't breastfeed is:
The best nutritional combination that ever exists
the immunity for all the sicknesses that you got all your life,
protection against obesity, asthma, diarrhea, food allergies, and many kinds of youth cancers,
better IQ,
better social and professional achievements later in his life,
better attachment to the family,
...
It may take four to five days to finish the list, that's why it's written on all artificial milk boxes: "breast milk is the best for your baby" and I agree.
Breast milk is of course what is best for your child and no one will argue with that, but it is also important that breastfeeding takes place in a calm and healthy atmosphere.
If for any personal reason (medical, psychological or else...) you are unable to breastfeed, it is better for a child to have artificial milk and a happy mother than to be brestfed by a stressed and unsatisfied mother.
In all cases i strongly advise you to ask for help, sometimes breastfeeding can be stressful if it is not done in the right conditions, your pediatrician will be able to answer all your questions and adress you to specialised health care professionals (nurses, midwives specialised in lactation) to coach you if needed..

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
