6 yrs post op and 12wks Pregnant Question for those that have had babies

This will be my 4th, all my other babies were before bypass. I had all of them vaginally with no problems. Why am I reading that most people have to have a c-section because of the bypass surgery. Doesn't make since to me. Any help and advise would be great. I haven't gained any weight yet and hope to not gain more then 10 pounds. 

I had my baby 9 months ago and had a perfect vaginal birth,  no drugs of anything.  The whole pregnancy went smoothly except for food aversions. Congratulations

My OBGYN says there's no need to have a c-section just because of WLS. Have you asked your doctor yet? Medical information on the internet is not the most reliable.

Similarly, it might be good to ask about weight gain. Mine said that WLS patients who're done losing should be like any other patient at normal BMI and expect to gain ~25lb. But that's best to hear from YOUR specific doctor.

Your WLS should have no bearing by itself on how you deliver.  I bet those stats are missing LOTS of other information.  For example, obese women are more likely to have c-sections, were these stats still obese.... I'm sure you'll do great.  For what it is worth, my first baby (pre wls) was a c-section and my second and third were both VBACs.  I really go against that info!

My son was born 3/15/15 vaginally. C-section was never even brought up by my OB or my surgeon. I gained 16lbs during the pregnancy, 8 days pp I am down the 16 plus 5 more :)

happy pregnancy!
