Me and my love are planning to have a baby. We are planning to begin the 1st of January. I am wondering about success stories.

I have my wls on 06/18/07 and went from 275 to 160lbs. I am currently 38 years old.

I dont want to sound naive or anything but am I too old to be trying to have a baby. I already have 3 and had them via c-section.

Advice needed. Thanks in advance

Well, the good news is that you are at LEAST 2 years out from surgery.  :-)  My suggestion is to have your labs checked.  Work on anything if you are lacking in any category.  Find a good OB - but you wouldn't be considered high risk because of the surgery or anything.  They might find you high risk because of your age however.  You'd have to ask.

All I can say is if your labs are good, HAVE FUN!!!  Just find an OB that you like.  

Good luck!

I agree, take prenatels now and get labs done. I am 37 and trying to have my first. I didn't meet my hubby until I was 31. Ia m gonna have a section too since I can't handle stress. Well, I can handle it, my body just can't.
