Pregnancy SCARE HELP
If you are, (take a test, First Response has a 6 days before your missed period test....you NEED to know ASAP) switch to a prenatal. Has more iron and extra folic acid. You need 1mg of folic acid and somewhere around 40 of iron. My prenatal has 36 but my iron went from being slightly to normal just by changing from my multi to a prenatal.
Add CARBS into your diet. You need at least 100g. a day to keep your body out of ketosis. Ketosis is bad for fetal brain development. Make sure you're getting in all of your other vitamins, calcium citrate, B-12 and make sure you're getting in all of your protein. You also need to add 300 extra calories a day to your diet.
And if you aren't pregnant, please use 2 forms of birth control or abstain. You really need to wait until you are 12-18 months out of surgery to be pregnant. I'm almost 3 years out and this is my 5th baby, but first after WLS and it's SO super hard for me now......I couldn't imagine being 6 months out and pregnant. I hope whatever way it comes out, that you have a good outcome!
