Pregnant and In Shock....

So I tried to get pregnant between 2008-2011 I was told that due to Endometriosis, PCOS and issues with my tubes that I would most likely not be able to get pregnant without going thru artificial insemination.  My daughter is 12 and I accepted the fact that I would have 1 child.  Well I'm 6 months post op VSG went to the doctor for nausea which I thought was due to a sinus infection and was told I'm pregnant!!....I'm a ball of emotions....Happy, nervous, concerned etc etc....Any advice would be great.  I believe I'm about 7 weeks will confirm with my OB on Monday.

Don't really have much advice, but I wanted to say congratulations! God's plans are definitely bigger than ours! :)

I can relate! I am almost 6 months post op RNY and am 7 weeks pregnant as well. I also had PCOS among other fertility issues before surgery. I'm so nervous with getting pregnant so soon. 

Have you found any remedies with the nausea?

I feel like the nausea is  better this week not sure why.  I feel like I'm finally able to keep food and drinks down.  Have you had an ultrasound yet?. I went yesterday and I measured at 6 weeks we were able to see yolk sac but no heartbeat.  I'm trying not to worry.

I go for my ultrasound on Friday. But my dr said a heartbeat can take up to week 14 to hear so don't stress yourself!

That's good to hear my doctor didn't seem concerned but I was just hoping to know that everything was ok yesterday.  I'll do another one on Monday.

first off Congrats to you and the other ladie that comment under. I got pregnant at 4 months out from wls. I got the sleeve done. I was married for 6 years and gave up on trying to became pregnant. Decided to lose weight to look better and travel the world well 3periods after weight loss and the 4th one never cam =) I was Pregnant after 6years of trying. I was super scared my baby wouldn't get enough nutrients bt everything was fine. I kept lossing weight untill 5 months preg. lost 40 pounds. Stayed with those 40 pounds off and at 7months preg. started to gain . By the day of labor I had gain 25pounds of the 40 i lost. I breastfeed for 2 months and those 25 pound and 10 more where gone in those two month. So ladies enjoy your pregnancy and stick to the plan. really no need to eat more beacuse your preg. maybe 300 calories more but thats it. That was told by my Dr. to me.

Thanks for the advice.  I've lost about 9 pounds so far but I've been eating more this week.  Do you remember when you were able to see and hear the heartbeat.  I went yesterday and we saw the sac but no heartbeat yet. I'm measuring right at 6 weeks.  I was fine with one child but now that im pregnant I just want everything to go well.

yeah I had an appt. @8weeks and the heart was there but the beat was a little low, went back at 10 weeks and it was perfect and really clear to hear. Maybe it was just to soon. best wishes!!
