Just found out

I'm pregnant, at 7 1/2 months post op. We were told that we'd never conceive naturally because my husband has practically zero sperm. Well, guess they were wrong. My OB said she isn't worried and baby and I will be fine. But I'm still a bit nervous. Can you all tell me what you've had to change/do differently for your pregnancies? 

I have two older sons, 9 1/2 and 2 1/2.

CONGRATS!! You'll get lots of great answers but here are my novice suggestions
Start adding carbs back in - you don't want to be in ketosis - it can harm the baby
call your surgeon and let them know so they can monitor your labs

enjoy it!!! You've got a miracle on the way :)

I just wanted to say congrats on your pregnancy. I hope you have a happy and healthy nine months.

 I don't really have any advice on being early post-op and pregnant but I did want to say congratulations!  

Congrats! I just added carbs and double all vitamins as usual. That seems to be the only difference so far for me. Hope all goes well for you!!

Congrats!  I got pregnant with TWINS while my hubby was supposedly infertile also.  We were NOT trying.  LOL.

Just add about 200-300 calories a day...keep up your fluids and vitamins...and take it easy!  My first pregnancy was 4 months post-op and I didn't have to do anything much different...however I wasn't losing anymore.  

Good luck and congrats!!

congrats and welcome!

congrats!!!

Congrats!  I have the band so I don't have any advise, but am sure that many women will give you alot of great advice.

Congratulations on  your pregnancy!  Your boys will be very excited to have a younger sibling, no doubt.

As the pp's mentioned, add carbs immediately.  Complex carbs are best, though with morning sickness, sometimes the simple carbs are all that works (i.e. saltines).  Try to add more water every day.  Add folic acid AND a prenatal vitamin (replaces the multi-vitamin you already take).  Contact your surgeon's office and meet with the nutritionist to develop a specific program that meets yours and your baby's nutritional needs. 

Try to relax and enjoy each moment.  Your baby will get everything it needs from you or your stores, so having your labs checked frequently is essential to ensuring YOUR health.  Levels can fluctuate quickly throughout the pregnancy.  These results will determine what, if any, changes to supplementation you need to make.

Wishing you all the best and I look forward to sharing in your journey!

Hugs,
