hi there! 
i will be 10 weeks pregnant on monday and wondered if anyone else had got pregnant after having previous knee problems/surgerys.
i had a road traffic accident just over 3 years ago and injured my right knee pretty badly,2 surgerys later (the last one being in january 07,and being quite a big surgery-a patella realignment-3 ops in 1)
i wondered how your knees had held up carrying a baby afterwards?
i have built up the strength in my knee/thigh area the best i could after the surgery but was immobilsed for 3 months straight afterwards in a metal brace for the majority of this duration 24/07,so in this time i got athropy,(muscle wastage)
i did physio for several months to get the muscle tone back again and am still doing light exercises now to try and keep it strong but am a little worried how it will cope when i get bigger!
any input would be apprechiated!
