Hi DoulaMama,
Well the Dr said that recovery shouldn't be as bad, because the incision they make is a lot smaller than my previous incisions from the full term pregnancies, and the upside of not having to worry about breastfeeding is that I won't have to worry about which painkillers go through the milk, so I can take whatever is needed for the pain. But he says the recovery time is shorter- likewise with things like the milk coming in, they'll give me things to stop it coming in, but at 20 weeks, there's very little milk there anyway. Similarly, and my biggest fear being will I have the normal baby blues and hormonal fluctuations, he said I shouldn't go through that, because my hormones aren't at the peak where they would be at 40 weeks, so the fluctuations shouldn't be as severe.
They say a 3 month wait before trying again, and I've been going back and forth in my head whether I'd have the guts to try again, but I think since I've been told it's not genetic, that has made me feel better, and it's made me start thinking I'd like to try again as soon as I could
xx
