Should not be: A problem unless you have some problem with your female organs. With a j pouch however most ob's would recommend a C-section rather than risk damage to the j pouch with vaginal delivery. Discuss this with your OB and suggest they have a colorectal surgeon standing by for your delivery. Good luck on your future surgery and future family expansion.
