Have any other moms on here had a tummy tuck before? I'm 34 and have 3 children ages 11, 6 & 1 (almost2). All of their birthdays are in January. When my 3rd child was 9 months old I had a mommy makeover that included a tummy tuck, breast lift and reduction. The c-section from my third baby really did a number on my stomach and I couldn't stand the look or feel of it anymore. Exactly a year after my surgery I found out we were pregnant again. A pleasant surprise for us. We are very happy but I'm a little nervous about how this pregnancy will work out. I pray that we don't have any emergency situations that would require a c-section. My doctor said that I should be perfectly fine to have a vbac which is what I want. I'm still left with tons of questions.
Will my boobs work properly after the reduction and lift so that I can try to breastfeed?
Will the baby have enough room in there to grow and for me to make it full term after the tummy tuck?
Will I have tons of new stretch marks because my stomach is really flat and was extra tight from the tummy tuck?
What are the best creams to use to avoid stretch marks this time around?
Will I show as much as I did with my previous pregnancies?
I have several more questions but let's start with these. Any help that you ladies can provide from your experiences would be greatly appreciated.
BTW I'm 13 weeks and 5 days today.
I don't think you will have problems with be lift and reduction but I could be wrong . I would maybe touch base with the surgeon who performed the operation and ask them about it. Definitely ask your Ob and do as much research as you can!
@Mia shai, @foreveryoung247 thanks ladies! Can I find bio oil at and random pharmacy?
