Breastfeeding and Hysterectomy
I am scheduled for my surgery on the 29th. YEAH! My concern is that I'm still breastfeeding. Are there any specific concerns, or questions that I need to ask my doctor/anesthesiologist, etc? We briefly touched on the subject at my last appointment, but not much detail.
If I understand correctly, the meds given to me will be similar to those for the c-sections. Thus, they should be of comparable safety to baby.
Any input?

I hope it helps. I know we've had members who were still breastfeeding after their surgery.

Breastfeeding and Hysterectomy
i was/am still breastfeeding and was VERY worried about it. just make sure your doc as well as the anesthesia person knows that everything you have has to be safe for your child. i don't know how old your little one is, but i was also very worried about the break in the nursing mine. i nursed him right before i left at 4 am. and then his dad fed him while i was gone. the doc ok-ed it for my dh and my son to come to the hospital and stay the night. they got dh a cot and ds slept next to me in the hospital bed. worked out very very well. i didn't feel up to having ds come during the first day, but by the first evening, i was doing good and was glad to see them. i hope this helps some.

for the 1st day, I definitely plan to BF while baby is there (as possible). However, since the hospital is so far away, and dh will be at work the rest of the week (family will be watching the kids), he will go the rest of the time without me It should be interesting, as he uses me as a pacifier. I don;t envy my mom, LOL
