post AS pregnancies, Roxie

[Guest guest]

Hi Roxie,

let me try to answer some of your questions:

it is hard to stay pregnant after AS since in most cases the endometrium is

thinner than before. Therefore the placenta needs to grow differently to

get enough nutrition, sometimes this doesn´t work thus miscarriage.

Or it is spreading all over the uterus causing the danger of placenta

previa, or growing deeply into the endometrium and maybe even the

myometrium, placenta accreta. Though these points are matters of a

complicated delivery not of staying pregnant.

I do not think that it is generally harder to conceive post AS. There are

lots of women you went on conceiving right away after surgery without help.

I think that it might be harder to get pregnant for a second child in

general for other reasons. Some I can think of:

a) Research has shown that even men after 35 have a drop of fertility (less

sperms or less quality of sperms);

newest studies indicate that the more the man wants a child the better

his sperms are, but evolution might tell him subconsciously that there is

already one child, so why bother ...

c) sex frequency indeed drops when the first child needs its parents

strength ...

d) being madly in love at the beginning has a tremendous effect on

pregnancy rates ...

Hope this helps a little, Corinna
