Pregnancy after DIEP

Hello and welcome to the community, although I'm sorry for the reason you find yourself here, it's really the best place to be for this kind of advice, support etc.

First off, a late congratulations from me, on the two little ones you were able to have already, they have the strongest and most amazing mum as their hero, and I'm so happy you were able to have them, even though you were going through such a dreadful time. I'm sure those two little ones made everything seem a little easier. 

Can I just ask, has the chance of you being unable to have any more children due to the reconstruction been mentioned to you already? If so, then all I can honestly advise is listen to your heart, and do whatever is best for your health. I'm no doctor, so you may find asking this question in our 'Ask A Nurse' section will give you more answers. But if this is something that is worrying you (which obviously it would do) then take as much time as you can to consider your options, and what you want most. Get information from your breast care nurses and your consultants etc and make the best informed decision that you can. 

Hopefully some more people will be along to also give you some advice on this. But remember you will always have us at Macmillan for any time you want to talk, need advice, or just want someone to listen. We are always here for you. You're so brave, strong and downright amazing to be getting through breast cancer alone, especially with 2 little ones! 

Lots of love and hugs to you and your family
