    annapatel reacted to sharonintx in When can we drink soda   
    Yes I've had soda. It didn't cause any problems but it did make me feel very full for hours. It was like the bubbles just sat in there the rest of the day. Some people tolerate it very well though. My suggestion would be to just have a couple sips here and there, for no other reason than to avoid the full feeling that may keep you from eating real food.< /p>
    Oh - and good for you having the very nerve to ask a question that our die-hard forum members will consider a "rule breaking" behavior:) Get ready for all the preaching that will most likely follow your question. Just go ahead and read it all while having a taste of your favorite carbonated beverage.

    Like Luckysmomma, I too, have major regrets. I won't get into it because I get slammed and I know I'm in the minority. I just know that given the option, I would go back 7 weeks and cancel my surgery.

    annapatel reacted to iggychic in Only 7 wks post op & pregnant.   
    You would have to have been pre 12 days...at the surgery date to not have shown up... and for some, even as low as 8 and it wouldn't show. Can you date it using that time frame???
    It's key to date it now because the anesthesia used in surgery can have some very detrimental effects on the fetus. I learned this the hard way. I had an emergency surgery at 8 days and the surgery damaged the fetus badly. I faced the decision to terminate due to profound fetal issues or move forward but knowing her chances were slim with a guarantee of lifelong medical issues...severe. Fortunately I had a natural miscarriage but it was a heartbreaking time for me and my husband as we had been trying to have a second child for some time. We never achieved that goal.
    If only I knew then what I know now about anesthesiology. But....hind sight is always so much better isn't it?
    You need to try to date the pregnancy as closely as possible and don't wait, don't email, go now to your OBGYN as you are going to have to make some important decisions very quickly. First obviously if you wish to carry this pregnancy is the first one. I am not implying judgement on that either way, but the earlier you make this decision the easier on you dear. Secondly, if you are going to continue, you need to have testing done to ensure that the baby is ok for both your health and the baby's. And if there is something wrong, you need to know the scope so you can make the hard decisions again, as early as possible. And lastly, if the pregnancy is going to continue you need to start immediately on a medically supplemented diet program because you can't get enough nutrition in to support the pregnancy in a healthy way this early out from your surgery.
    Whatever you do, I wish you the best. This is scary and of course a hard decision to have to deal with. I didn't want to scare you, just to share the road I traveled so that it might possibly help you out. Take great care of you!!! And best of luck with the future, whatever you do!!!
