Hi

I am hoping for a second child - so did some research about this. I

wrote to Ann Prentice (a medical researcher in Cambridge, UK) & I'll

forward her response to you. My worry was about bone loss from the

hips during pregnancy / lactation, I thought it might weaken my bone

around the implant.

Her reply was very reassuring. She said that - 'There are

considerably greater differences in BMD between women than the

changes that an individual woman experiences during lactation. The

decision for you probably needs to be based on an estimate of your

BMD to judge whether lactational bone changes might place you at

risk. This could perhaps be a scan on your other hip, for example.'

Hope this helps
