From what i understand, there are plenty of women who have had this procedure and have had pregnancies after (not immediately). The only thing you should be experiencing (based on how well your procedure was done), is just a normal stretching of the skin, abdomin and muscles as your belly grows.

It's best to lead as much of a healthy lifestyle while being pregnant, not deprive yourself of workouts (even if it's simple yoga).

I found a forum with women sharing similar experiences in having had tummy tucks and becoming pregnant. You could probably breath and relieve yourself of any doubt in the aftermath of your procedure.

hi to you! I was wondering how your growing tummy is. I had a tummy tuck 4 years ago and am now considering getting pregnant. Interested to hear how you are doing!

So, I had a tummy tuck in december of 2005. My tummy was nice and flat. I was feeling sexy after having had three kids in a row!! They were now preteens and my husband and I were positive we weren't having anymore kids. As a matter of fact, he was looking into getting clipped! Anyway, my tummy was so flat, I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was a little over 4 months. I would have an extremely light period every month. Besides that, I had an IUD in place. It had worked for 8 years. It was suppose to be effective for 10 years. Anyway, my tummy tuck scar was lumpy and dark but I didn't look pregnant until about 6 1/2 months. My tummy was so tight. Everytime I had a drs appointment or ultra sound, the drs or nurses would get wide eyed when they'd lift up my shirt and see my tummy tuck scar. Everyone was amazed. It was kinda funny. So after the baby was born, my tummy was flat and back to normal in about 2 weeks! I am so not joking. I did breastfeed which helped with burning calories and uterus going down. But I literally looked as if I had never been pregannt. My scar was still red and lumpy but after a while that flattened out too. Haha!!! Funny Story.
