18 months post-op and expecting!!
Just found out we're expecting baby #2! This may be an interesting challenge as I was still on some opiates until yesterday when the second line appeared! My surgeon cleared me to carry a baby as of my 6 WEEK post op appointment, so I'm mostly worried about the pain. Opinions are so mixed about what is safe, and there is a lot of guilt to go along with the decision.  Regardless, I'm thrilled, and hoping for the best. Please, anyone who's been through this- I need your stories!!!
