Ankle surgery 2xs on l ankle 9 mo preg ligaments very loose will they tighten back up after baby comes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: It is unlikely that your ankle ligaments are loose from being pregnant. Has your doctor tested your ankle for loose ligaments while pregnant? Either way, it is unlikely these ligaments will tighten back up after pregnancy if they are indeed loose at this time. It is most likely that you will feel less pressure on your ankles after delivery and hence feel more stable on your feet.
