Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and premature baby

tethgirl · Jun 24th, 2009, 12:54 PM

Hello all in here

I have been registered for a while but now I took the decision to write in the forum even though I am doing a lot of reading in here and learning much from all of you.

Anyway, my history is this: after loosing a lot of weight (due to PCOS) 3 years ago (I am 25 now) I really needed an abdominoplasty. I have done it but my skin got loosen again. So I tried it for a second time again. The surgeon made it as tight as it could get (this is what he told me after 3 hours surgery)

I got pregnant on October. My belly is really small. During the last month (8TH MONTH) it got a little bigger. My doctor told me to get ready for labor after the 36th week. (I am in 33 right now) because my tummy would not get any bigger and I would have the labor pains. (The baby thank god is ok) He said we would try for the physical method and not c-section.

Anyone had any common experiences in here?
