Long messy ramble - fertility after BC - needed a vent (thanks & sorry!)
Well once again I havent stopped by here for a while. I have been feeling too sad and needed to get my thoughts sorted out a bit better before trying to write it out. (this website is very cathartic) ...
Hi @Karen T. What a lovely update. I'm sorry for what you've been through to get to this point, but so pleased for you that you have got here.
I'm not surprised you had such a hard time emotionally for those first months of your pregnancy. There's a lot of reasearch out there about the impact of pregnancy loss on subsequent pregnancies, and evenon parenting, so be gentle with yourself :)
In a former life, I was a midwife. I have certainly looked after women in the postnatal period who have had a history of BC. Of course, we spend such a short time with them in hospital, so can't answer about longer term. I do, however, recall caring for one woman who had had her 2nd baby after her BC diagnosis.
If you have other questions around this, don't hesitate to message me
Fingers firmly crossed for you
