Re: Childbirth after implants...Hello,

March 20, 2005

la,

I didn't get sick from my implants until after I gave birth, also. I

tried to breastfeed my twins but, I ended up feeding & pumping every

2 hrs. and just never made enough. I was so depressed when I finally

had to stop and afterwards felt even worse and I've pretty much been

sick off and on since then. Only now, I've been really sick, mostly

bedridden with 1 infection after another and too fatigued & in pain

to do anything, but go to an occasional dr. appt., for about 3 months

now.

Isn't it strange, here we were trying to feed our children, which I

was told should be " no problem, since mammary glands weren't

disturbed during implant surery " , what a line of crap! (sorry)

Now, it is thought that my implants became infected then. It was VERY

IMPORTANT to me to be able to breastfeed, since I had to have help

getting pregnant and wanted my babies to have the best milk, in my

opinion. Just another area of our lives, screwed up fromimplants.

Thanks for sharing,

Cheryl

la,

I'm so glad you son is doing well! . . .

The pumping may have aggravated the implant problems

too. . . . There is one brand that had very defective

valves . . . They just kept on making them - even

though they knew that!

Your mother has good instincts!

Hugs,
