Tummy Tuck: Q&A

I Am 37 and Had a Tummy Tuck 5 Years Ago. Can I Have a Safe Delivery and Pregnancy? (photo)
The concern I have is whether my belly muscles would get large enough to hold a growing baby for nine months. I had two pregnancies. The first, my son was born at 37 weeks; and the twins were 36 weeks. Both times I felt streched to the max and my water broke before I went into labor. I had the surgery to correct an ambilical hernia. Which actually returned two months after the mini tummy tuck. Is my dream of a fourth child out of the question?

Pregnancy after tummytuck should not be a problem
It would be very unlikely that you would encounter problems related to your prior abdominoplasty if you were to become pregnant again. of course you would likely need to redo the abdominoplasty after delivery to regain your pre-pregnancy appearance.

Can I have a baby after a tummy tuck
Fortunately, your body is smarter than any plastic surgeon. When you become pregnant circulating hormones of pregnancy allow the skin, the muscle and even the pelvis to relax once again. You should have no trouble bearing another child.
If you had muscle tightening with your original tummy tuck I would suggest you let your obstetrician know about it just in case you require c-section. It would be helpful information to be aware of during this type of surgery.

You will be fine
You will be fine with another pregnancy. You will need to have full tummy tuck to fix the extra skin and repair the hernia year after delivery .

Pregnancy after Tummy Tuck
While your hernia may enlarge, and you may require a revision of your abdominoplasty, there is no reason to worry about your muscles affecting your pregnancy.
