Dr Imlay told me to call in October to schedule my tummy tuck for December when Eric gets home. I was so excited. But then I asked him about getting pregnant afterwards and he said he didn't suggest it as the skin would be tight and the scar would be new. I'd probably be very uncomfortable during pregnancy and get a lot of stretch marks. He said to just come back after my next pregnancy.
I explained how we were probably moving to Kansas soon. He said "have a baby, keep my email and you can come back to Colorado to have the tummy tuck." He also said that they may have a program in Kansas that does it, but he wasn't sure. I'd have to come back to the Springs for a week. He then said he may get deployed next year so I'd have to wait until he came home. LOL! So I have a tummy tuck in my grasps and if I wasn't going to have any more children I would have a lovely flat tummy WITHOUT stretched skin by the new year.
Eric and I really want one more baby. I was thinking we would start trying next summer after the move, however, Eric thinks it would be better to start trying as soon as he gets home. He'd be home for the pregnancy and then the first few months (in case they deploy 12 months after being home.) Then we also have to plan for the baby to have a cleft palate (its a 50/50 chance), which would mean I would need Eric to be home to help. It makes me cringe thinking about how rough Wyatt's first year was. That's another post though - all the fears and thoughts I have about having another child.
Soooo...December plans: Tummy Tuck no, Getting Pregnant yes.
