She had a baby on xmas day one year. Had a coil put in at 3 months old or thereabouts. Lost weight from pregnancy at a steady rate until he was about 6 months old when it began to go back on. She was devastated when she found out she was pregnant and it was established that she was probably 2 weeks pregnant when it went in. She was due on New years day. She was very worried at the time about the coil being embedded in the baby somehow or him growing round it and had many nightmares about. i have to say at the time the health professionals were not very helpful other than *thats hardly likely*. She ended up with a CS in the Nov due to an abruption (placenta coming away and heavy bleeding) but according to the doctors the coil was flattened over the top of his head and not involved in anyway, baby was fine and they are strapping boys now.
