I had two children before my RnY, and now I have a four month old son born after my WLS. That third pregnancy and delivery was much easier on my body than the first two when I was obese. It is recommended that you wait at least a year after WLS to get pregnant so that the baby will get the best possible nutrition, and so that your weight loss won't be interrupted. If you got pregnant before that one year mark, you would probably be considered a high-risk pregnancy. I know it is hard to wait, but that is the best thing for the baby and for you.
