Congratulations on your pregnancy! I have had two post-op, the most recent was twins.
I will try my best to answer your questions based on my experience:
1) I breastfed my son for 6 months with no issues. I am now 5 months into breastfeeding my twin girls and doing just fine.
2) I agree with a previous post that you will appreciate this when you start taking iron supplements. Although I found an iron/vitamin c tablet that really helps with the constipation.
3) Everyone is different and each pregnancy is different. I don't think this is anything to be concerned about.
4) You may look into a DHA vitamin which is an Omega 3 EFA. Supposedly this helps with brain development.
5) I had an incision, so I can't answer directly, but I also had a subsequent hernia surgery. None of this caused problems during or after my pregnancies.
Gook luck! I'm sure you will do just fine.
