post op moms - Did you have to have a c-section?

[makemyownluck 785]

I had my surgery 16 months ago, laparoscopic surgery - no complications. I also had a prior laparoscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder back in 2006.

Does having prior laparoscopic abdominal surgery mean you HAVE to have a C-section? I'd love some feedback from any ladies who became mothers after their sleeves - did you have natural childbirth? If not, was the prior sleeve surgery the reason you couldn't give birth naturally?

I really want vaginal delivery!

Thanks for the feedback!

Hello,

I am not a mommy yet but in the process lol I am currently 4 months 1 day and my doc is aiming for me to have a natural vaginal delivery, no C-section (unless something comes up and it is needed but not sleeve related).

I just delivered my baby 4 weeks ago via csection. I'm almost 2 years out from having my sleeve. This was a repeat Csection so totally not related to my sleeve. To answer your question having gastric sleeve doesn't mean you'll have to have a CS to deliver your baby.

I would assume that the stomach has nothing to do with your uterus. Kind of why I don't think my OB needs to know about my surgery.
