Shocked, Petrified and Pregnant in Ohio

When I was pregnant with my daughter I was still obese at 330 (even though I lost a bunch) I had one loss at 20wks and one at 4wks I was in a bad car wreck was taking pain med/muscle relaxers/antidepressants and I have herniations at L2,L3,L4 and L5 along with neck problems. I stopped all meds ASAP per my OB! I took have PCOS. It goes by ovulation not LMP. My LMP with my first pregnancy was March and I got pregnant in June.

She is perfect and healthy I hope everything goes great! It really is a miracle!

Welcome! We are due one day apart!

Thank you guya for your support.. I am going to copy from another thread more information about my pregnancy. Pardon if you have already read it.

 I can give you some open and honest  information on my situation. Please take a minute to read through.

I have been married twice no protection at all during previous and current marriage. I NEVER had a scare, not even once. I had been tested and found to have PCOS when I was 19. I was very healthy and not very overweight in the earlier years of marriage. I have had homrone testing and was literally told I had a better chance of winning the lottery even with hormone assistance. I actually did not have a period for 21/2 years (technically menopause according to one GYN). We had reserved ourselves to not being able to have a baby for the most part.

Next

ONce I was recovered enough in 10/09 I saw a GYN and got the consult for a hormone IUD. (It has less side effects than oral/ injection birth control and is absorbed locally instead of systemically) As instructed I came back to the office within 5 days of the start of my next period. They test for infection prior to insertion and I found out I had a pretty bad one. I was on oral and vaginal antibiotics. I had to wait until my next period now. A few days before my next period I ended up having a raging painful yeast infection and was told I could not come in this time either. SO the last plan was to wait for my next period.

Then

My next period never came which was not weird to me considering my extremely irregular cycle.

Protection

We used alternative methods alot for intimacy as well as frank abstinance for long periods of time.

We were going with the IUD because of my very high risk for clotting (birth control can increase that)

We did NOT use condoms, hind sight we needed to be more vigilant



Frank Honesty

Despite all of the information above I seriously did not believe I could get pregnant without assistance because even when I was healthy I could not get pregnant

THis is not the time to be pregnant, I know that, we know that, my Doctors know that.

That being said, Abortion is not an option for us. I have made all the immeadiate changes I need I have seen/ made appoinments for who I need to see. I will do all I can to carry this baby and if its not meant to be, as soon as I am allowed to I will get an IUD as planned.

This was a complete surprise, I did not plan it, I am petrified,

Congratulations on your miracle baby! That is so wonderful even if it is bad timing!! I got pregnant at 2 1/2 mo post op. (I was inbetween birth controls and the condom fell off & took the morning after pill.) My pregnancy went very well and I still lost weight almost the entire time. You should be just fine as long as you see your OB often and take all your vitamins! Good luck and I am so happy for you!

Congrats on the weight loss also! That's awesome!
