Pregnancy after breast cancer is possible. However, it depends entirely on the type of breast cancer, type of treatment taken, age, and risk of the cancer coming back early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breast cancer and fertility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some treatments damage ovaries and cause delayed or immediate infertility. This can make getting pregnant harder. It is advised to wait 2 years after cancer treatment, to clear the 2-year-mark of breast cancer returning back. Each case is different, so seeking healthcare advice is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pregnancy outcomes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

History of breast cancer can cause complications in pregnancy, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Pre-mature delivery<\/li>
  2. Having low-birth-weight baby<\/li>
  3. Requiring a caesarean section (C-section)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    However, no direct effect on the baby or no birth defects or long-term health concerns are noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Effect on the foetus\/unborn child<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    2. Safer to stop all treatment before getting pregnant<\/li>
    3. Stopping treatment early can increase risk of cancer growing or coming back<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Breast Feeding \u2013 To do or Not to do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      3. Reduced milk production in the breast & structural changes \u2013 can make breastfeeding painful<\/li>
