The reason I have not been on the board much lately is that I'M PREGNANT!!!!
16 months after my surgery, we decided it was time to add a little one to our family! This will be our first baby and so far things are going really well. I've had some achiness in my back, but I attribute some of that to a lack of exercising these past couple of months. I'll be contacting my PT to work on some exercises that are healthy for both me and my baby since the exercises I currently do are not good for the baby (they involve tightening my abs and lifting weights at the same time). I'm due in May of '07 and will post here periodically for those interested in how this surgery affects pregnancy, if at all. I've been in contact with my surgeon and he assures me that I should carry and deliver just like any other pregnant woman and that due to the location of my fusion, I will still be a candidate for an epidural...thank goodness for that!
I just had to share the great news with all of you since we've all been through so much together in the past 2 years that I've been here....
