Most Shocking side effect of weight loss!

Apparently women become very fertile - or at least I did... My six month post-op appt is next thursday and I have to tell him that I'm pregnant! Whooops!!!

I think he is going to be mad - I'm scared.

I'm sorry this was shocking :-/ if your surgeon didn't tell you this ahead of time, he has no right to be mad! I was warned about it several times before I ever had surgery. I hope this is a positive thing for you and your family.

Don't worry. If doctor is mad too bad. They usually want you to wait so you can be at a good weight for the pregnancy. If you can see if you can go to a high risk hospital or group for your pre natal care. You should have no problems but going with high risk practice will give you doctors that deal with women that have been in the same situation. Good luck! It's great that you are having a baby. I an an labor and delivery RN and you are not he first or last person this has happened to! Just think how great it is that u did not get pregnant when ou had all the weight on that you have lost.

Thanks everyone! We are happy, it just was not in the life plans. We have 2 already and I have given away all my baby stuff. In the back of my mind maybe I did want one more but i'm in my late 30's and was not sure I'd have the energy for another tiny one... its all good though, we'll figure it out.

For the record, the doctor didn't warn me!! Hopefully I can help get the word out here for others who didn't know.

That's pretty shocking; I had to sign a document promising I would not get pregnant for at least a year! (Which is pretty funny given that the LAST thing I want to do at age 44 and after having raised my kids to young adults, is get pregnant! I want to start MY life!)

Good luck, and congrats!
