6 months post op & pregnant
I just got a positive pregnancy test last night. I am just a week shy of being 6 months post op & have no idea where to begin. Very unexpected & beyond terrified.
I reached out to an obgyn & my surgeon. I have yet to hear back from either one. I've just got so many questions & do not know the answers. Should I be jumping on a prenatal right away? Get off my current vitamins? Take more supplements of something else?
How should I be eating? right now i'm at 500-800 calories a day & a very low carber (20 grams at most). Should i be adding back in carbs? increasing calories?
I do not want to jeopardize my health or this pregnancy anymore than I'm sure I already have. :(
Thanks.
Hey Ladies
I got preggo about 3 months post op (3 years out now)
Believe me it will be scary at first. The Doc I worked with said it was fine.
I continued to lose weight while pregnant. I still worked out (aerobics) I still took the same vitamins. My doctor did put me on prenatal vitamins just for the extra push to make sure that the baby was getting them.
I also got regnant less than a year after that this time with twin boys. I stayed the same weight and still worked out and lived a healthy lifestyle.
My doctor did not worry about my weight because I was eating, taking my vitamis and getting in my water and protein and my levels were good.
I wish you both all the best
