Just found out im pregnant

I am only 5 months out and never thought this would happen. I have PCOS so I figured I was pretty safe. I am very worried because my dr told me to wait atleast 12 months. Will everything be OK what should I do? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am not quite 4 months out yet...I just recently found out I am pregnant, 5 weeks along. Call your nutritionist, surgeon, and schedule an appointment with an OB...Follow EVERYTHING they tell you and you'll be just fine. Plenty of people on tihs site are in the same boat as you.


I was so excited when I found out!


My nut. says 85-90 grams of protein, try to get to 1500 calories a day (I get there by drinking 5-6 glasses of 1% milk) and add close to 100 grams of carbs back into your diet if you havent already.


CONGRATS ON THE BABY NEWS! ITS WONDERFUL!

Unless I missed the memo, PCOS is *not* birth control ...

However; no turning back now. Congratulations on your pregnancy! I think you've made a great 1st step by coming here. These ladies are very knowledgeable and some are/have been in your exact situation.

Good luck and have a happy and healthy 9 months ..

congrats!.. and welcome... add carbs back to your diet... take your vitimans.. and drink your fluids!

I was also 5 mos out when I got pg with PCOS and birth control.

I am now 27 wks and doing great.  Follow your nuts recommendations and you should be fine.

 I was 4 mos. out when I got pregnant.  I had PCOS too...but surgery sure cured every last symptom of that!  

Anyway, I'm about 4 months pregnant now, and so far so good!  

Good luck to you!

Congratulations.  I'd just say monitor your blood work, eat some healthy carbs, and talk to your dr.  I'm sure things will be fine.  The baby'll get what he/she needs...you're the one who'll miss out on proper nutrition before the baby will.  Good luck!
