Wow, I was under the impression that she was set on having surgery before trying again although I was never sure what was keeping her from going ahead with it, I thought maybe because she was breast feeding she wanted to wait.. I hope she does her research before jumping into a decision!
Oh wow, yeah in her video "why I lost my two babies".. she explains that she will be having the surgery BEFORE another pregnancy, but she also mentioned that she would switch doctors if her doctor says she isn't a candidate as she's had one full term pregnancy.. but that's all I am aware of the situation.. I think she should do an update with the situation, I'm really curious now..
Yeah I'd have to go back to see which video she said it in but it was something about her doctor saying the surgery could make it hard to conceive but she doesn't think that'll be a problem for her because she's never had an issue with infertility and she gets pregnant right away every time she tries.
I asked my sil if she ever thought about having surgery (when she was first wanting to have a baby her ob told her she probably wouldn't be able to get pregnant on her own and if she did she'd probably not make it to 24 weeks even with progesterone shots) and she said her Dr told her all the risks and she didn't want to take the chance that she'd never be able to conceive. Obviously doctors don't know everything, they were wrong about her being able to conceive and carry to term. In fact, her babies implanted on the smaller side of her uterus, increasing the chances of miscarriage, and she went to 37 weeks the first time and 39 the second.
I've never experienced a miscarriage so I can't say what I'd do to prevent one. But it sounds like she's set on having the surgery no matter how many doctors advise against it. I'd have a hard time asking a doctor to go in and cut up my uterus during my child bearing years. I think the biggest issue is the uterus being able to stretch during pregnancy after surgery but also the scar tissue it would leave behind can stop her from ovulating or implanting.
