I am not looking to get pregnant for a while (maybe 2 more years) but I have always planned for a home birth. I am wondering if any one has had experience with a home birth post RNY. I know many complications can happen because people don't loose all the weight first so they have the same risk factors as just being over weight. But with that aside, has any one had this conversation with their midwife or had the experience?

Bumping and following.

I should be released by my surgeon in January to TTC, and we want to do a home birth or a birthing center also.

please let me know how it goes, I have had no other responses...

Its good that you are planning from now onwards about home birth, there is no risk if you are persisting healthy pregnancy, see that you are alert about your monthly menstrual cycles so that to avoid any complications during pregnancy, you may also try coupelle menstruelle during periods so that your menstrual hygiene is also maintained.

Looks like this post is old

But I had a home birth 8 months ago
Post gastric bypass and everything went great!

Yes it is old, but I am about 6 months from begining to try to get pregnant. And our hope is that I will be able to have a home birth. Unfortunately right now I am about 30 lbs from my original goal weight. So I am trying to get back in shape and back on track to loose the weight before we start trying to get pregnant. With the hopes that I will be as healthy as possible, especially since I will be 34.

That's amazing

Having a baby is such a blessing, having gastric bypass alone doesn't disqualify you. My midwifes main concern for a home birth was placenta placement but I think for anyone that's a concern. Everything worked in my favor and we succeeded. Also If your an insulin dependent diabetic I think that disqualifies you
