Is Pregnancy Possible Post Surgery For Sleep Rupture?

I was pregnant once and my spleen ruptured during my pregnancy. I had internal bleeding and lost alot of blood so did my daughter. i was 6 months and had an emergecy c-section but they still didnt know my spleen ruptured...until they cut a line down the middle of my stomach. Can i still have kids? will that scar in the middle of my stomach affect my pregnancy? will those tissues they cut into affect me during pregnancy?

Hello,
I can understand your concerns and would do my best to enlighten you.
I want to know that which kind of surgery you were undergoing, is it splenectomy or anything else???
Another thing about which i am curious is that spleen was ruptured by any external injury or was it spontaneous??
I want to assure you that you can still become pregnant with scar, it has nothing to do with your pregnancy, but pregnancy has to be sustained till 8th month at least if not more so. For that many factors will come into play.
So don't worry and be assured that you can become pregnant, but you will need to be very cautious and will have to follow up regularly with your gynecologist and follow the advises strictly.
Hope this will help you.
