Don't freak out I was only 11 months out when I got pregnant and I have been fine and the baby is just fine. You need to contact your surgeon and you OB and make them aware of your situation. They will most likely just keep a closer eye on your labs and baby ( which means you get more u/s) I'm getting u/s every week since 27 weeks. You just need to make sure you are getting good nutrition and add some carbs back to your diet. Just take a deep breath and relax you and you baby will be just fine. P&PT's.

I found myself in the same situation 2 years ago.  My son is great and I had an easy pregnancy.  Don't panic relax your body takes care of the baby.  You'll do fine!.  Have a happy 9 months!

I got pregnant 4 months post op and still had a 10.5 baby boy.  Now he's a healthy 2 year old.  Congrats and don't worry.  Just be sure to take care of yourself as the baby will get what they need from you.  This situation happens at least WEEKLY here.  Seriously!  :-)

Why only 3 weeks ago I was a panicky MESS! 6 months post op and 11 weeks preg! Omg you would of thought it was the end of the worlD!!  I am doing great, the baby is healthy I still excercise and I had to increase my caloric intake by like 400 cals, only adding prenatal and folic to my vit intake.

YOU WILL BE FINE!
