question: Hi, In June this year my spleen got badly ruptered and I had to undergo emergency surgery to have it removed. I now have a huge scar down the centre of my stomach and have to take penicillen for life. I am 26 years old. I was just wondering will I now have any complications getting pregnant and also how will this effect my scar? What is the recommended time I have to wait following surgery to try for a baby? I ask this as I may be healed on the outside but it obviously takes much longer for the scar tissue and muscle to heal inside. Hope you will kindly answer my questions. Thanks. Jodie
