Hi!

I am pregnant. I found out 2 weeks prior to my first surgery date. Now I am scheduled about 7 weeks after I give birth. Does anyone know if my breastmilk production will be affected at all? I will definitely pump about 1 & 1/2 weeks worth of breast milk before the surgery but what about after? I don't want to have any issues producing milk for my little one all advice is welcome!

So long as you can eat enough to produce milk you'll be fine. I got pregnant two years post op and had over production and had to pump. I had massive quantities of breastmilk. I couldn't get her to latch because of my letdown, no matter what we tried I couldn't slow my production.

Good luck and congrats. Be careful about nutrition, I'm sure you know. Push protein hard. But man, I swear, I wanted insane foods I'd NEVER eat when I was pregnant. Like, Hamburger Helper and peanut butter and jelly. I hate peanut butter. My baby was crazy.

Best, and be well!

Congrats! Just pump and dump while on pain meds and make sure you are taking enough fluids and like clk said watch your nutrition.

I would def ask your doc. I couldn't eat hardly at all for like 6-7 months .

Thank you all!
