Having a child and the mother has osteoporosis.?

Have you heard of any bad complications during pregnancy due to the mother having osteoporosis??

My brothers gf is pregnant, but she has osteoporosis, she lost the first child (at 5 weeks) and she is now pregnant again.

Is there any complications during childbirth for her that will worsen because of her condition!?

I just want everything to be fine.

wow thanks jennifer, i'm really glad to know that

I have osteoporosis and it was never even a remote concern in my first pregnancy, and it hasn't been mentioned in this one either. Technically, it could cause more pain, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no increased risk.

Breastfeeding is GREAT for osteoporosis. It can actually prevent people who don't have it from getting it. I know that seems backwards, but it's true.

Here's a bit more info about it that sites a study.

And one more which is a great reason for her to consider breastfeeding to help protect her child from osteoporosis (which is genetic).

I'm glad that someone who knows, answered your question..
i would have thought the exact opposite.
a baby leeches out what it needs from your body.
they take nutrients, and you have to compensate.

i would definitely talk to a doctor or other health professional if it were me.. and I'm sure she has.

so you are going to be an auntie!! congrats!!

Breeding a child is the most physically dangerous and difficult thing a woman could ever do to her body. If more women really understood the biological and chemical reactions caused by pregnancy...and if they really understood the long term consequences caused by getting pregnant, particularly over time through multiple pregnancies...then more women would opt to either adopt or to celebrate a child-free lifestyle.

Your bro.'s gf is in no immediate danger because of her osteoporosis and pregnancy. However, she should plan on coping with disability later in her life...probably in her fifties and sixties. This is much earlier than many women experience the ravages of osteoporosis, but, as she already has this problem...it is highly probable that it will reach a crisis stage earlier. And, as pregnancy depletes women of so much of the body's calcium stores, her osteoporosis will be much worse.
