Want a baby - before or after wrap?

I need some advice. Last summer my husband and I decided to try for a baby. But it wasn’t to be (I think I had a miscarriage) and for one reason or another I feel ill with depression. This had a lot to do with the fact that my acid reflux got worse and at the time I didn’t know it was caused by a hiatus hernia and just didn’t know what was wrong with me.

I am no over the depression and well on my way to getting over my fear of vomiting. I paid to have an endoscopy privately and they found the hiatus hernia. I was pleased to finally find out that it wasn’t all in my head and have managed my symptoms a lot better since then. I think it is because I don’t stress about them trying to work out what is wrong with me.

Next month I am due to have the Bravo PH test and a bit after will have the test to check how my stomach muscles are working (I can’t remember the name of that). I will then see a surgeon. I will ask the surgeon this as well but wanted people’s advice – would it be better to have a child before my wrap (providing I am a good candidate for it) which could make me get bad morning sickness or after which could mean the pregnancy could damage the wrap?

My sister had her second child today and I am feeling very broody and sorry for myself if I am honest. Though I can’t wait to meet my niece later!

Well I have just had a call today to say I can see the surgeon tomorrow to discuss the surgery so will see what he says. I knew that we a long recovery so would mean holding off having children for well over a year (maybe two by the time I have got to the top of the NHS waiting list).

I just wondered if anyone had any experience of either being pregnant with a hiatus hernia or being pregnant after the NF wrap?
