6 months post op

[sbh0078 3]

Ok... So I had a Paragard IUD in October. I found out yesterday that I am 6 weeks pregnant. They did an ultrasound and apparently the Paragard fell out because it is no longer in and only God knows where it's at.

While this is a BIG SURPRISE (We were not planning on anymore children) I need to hear from others that have had or are having babies in a similar instance. What are some struggles you have had? Are you still losing? Gaining? At this point my focus is keeping the baby and myself healthy.

Thanks

I'm 10 months post-op and 11 weeks pregnant. You will just have to be monitored more closely. At least that's what they told me. More doctor's visits, more sonograms, and make sure to get plenty of Proteins. Don't freak out about weight gain and maintain a healthy diet. I have heard some people who could not get enough nutrients during pregnancy had to receive them intravenously, but I guess that would be a worst case scenario type situation. My bariatric doctor said not to worry though. Hope this helps. Good luck!
