Hello Hilary, To answer some of your questions...this is actually my second pregnancy after TT. My first one my stomach was tight the entire time and my baby was smaller...as they say, your fish (baby) will only grow as big as your Fish tank will allow, so that's what they contributed her small size to. She was 5 pounds 11 oz. Now with her, I carried extremely high until the day I went into labor, but she was always head down, no issues. And her small size was not an issue at all, she was very heath and a big 3 year old today. Now my stomach went back flat right after I had her; and abs and skin adjusted right back. I do look pregnant today, but no one can believe I am about 5 weeks from due date, look more like 27-30 ish weeks along... I don't think having TT before pregnancy has been a problem to getting back my flat stomach afterwards. I do think it is a reason why my stomach doesn't stretch--this little lady might just be bigger and finding any space to get into to.
As the first one, my stomach is there but I don't think it will be much to get everything back into place after I deliver, just hasn't stretch that much.
Hope this helps some...and good luck on your weight loss?

I had a full on BREECH baby til 38 weeks! Had a csection scheduled and everything and found out the day of my pre-op appointment that he had flipped, no worries it is definitely still possible for baby to get into position.
I'm not pregnant but I was just reading your post and I was wondering if your skin is too tight being pregnant after a tummy tuck. Do you find that you're more prone to stretch marks now that you've had the tummy tuck?
I'm 6 weeks post-op today & I would like to have another little one after 18 months but I'm considering getting the lower tummy tuck. I'm not sure what its called but its from my belly button & below. I just don't want to pay to improve my lower stomach only to get pregnant & have it hang again. Do you know what the chances of that happening are?
Thanks & Good Luck to you,
Hilary
So my ob and i were wrong, ultrasound showed she is head down--her legs are crossed funny which makes the big spot the ob and I thought was her head! I'm 36 weeks 4 days today and her weight came out to 7lbs 4ozs! I'm betting this will push my c-section to next week which would be 37 weeks 6 days--he only does scheduled c-s on Weds.
Hang in there--my sister went the same route of meds and IUI and has 3 kids now! I know it's really frustrating to wait but when you get a baby in your arms it makes the wait just melt away.
So I completed my first round of fertility treatments: Clomid, estrolyl, HCG the whole bit but unfortunately, there was no success. I started my period Saturday and have two negative tests. So we start again today with the medications. This time we are going in for the IUI because I think we should be as aggressive as possible, I just can't keep up with all the disappointment that follows each month and I am just ready to get this started! After almost 4 years, I think I have waited long enough.
So I am staying positive and trying not to let myself hope too much or doubt too much (If that's even possible!)
Anyway, Have an awesome day everyone and thanks for the support :)
