Natural birth after LASEK?

Question

I would like to do LASEK for my eyes. I have been qualified only to this method as my cornea is 5.05 mm. My vision is -1.75 with astigmatism.I heard from my friend that after eye laser surgery I cannot have natural birth but just c-section. Is this true? I would like to have a baby and be pregnant after a year of the surgery. The doctor has not mentioned about delivery problems . I am so confused. I will appreciate if you can share your knowledge and opinion on that.
