Hi everyone,
Well.... I'm going through this right now & it is NOT fun!
I'm 5 months pregnant & 9 months out from a full TT.
Not planned AT ALL! I have 4 kids & I was done. I researched the surgery & saved for over a year before I had it. I went on birth control & was told by my Dr that I only needed a back up for 2 weeks. 3 weeks after starting the pills my husband & I went on a 5 night vacation & I came back pregnant. I went off the pills after a month because I thought they were causing me to be so tired & making my periods weird. I had no clue it was because I was pregnant & didn't find out until I was on my forth month & missed a period.
I was told by my PS that he has seen it go both ways. Some women go through the entire pregnancy & it does not affect the TT & then some women need it redone. He told me that weight gain & exercise will play a major roll.
I have been judged by everyone that knows I had a TT.
They look at me like I'm a total idiot & most of them ask the same stupid question... "did you plan this?" I have started answering with a smart ass remark. "Yep! got in great shape, spent $24,000 on plastic surgery, then got pregnant. I think it was a PERFECT plan!"
So far everything looks ok. My scar is a little red & tight in the middle where most of the pressure is. The next few months will bring the damage if it is going to happen. My Dr does have a hard time finding the heart beat because of the scar tissue. I'm hoping for the best. I'm excited about the new baby but I'm sad to see my new flat tummy go.
I would recommend to anyone that is planning a TT to take care of the chance of a surprise pregnancy ever happening before the TT. My husband is getting it taken care of in Febuary
( a little late) lol
If anyone knows someone that has a surprise pregnancy after a TT. Try not give them a "look" when they tell you. They already feel bad enough
