Pregnant

So today I took a test and it came out positive...... I'm 3 weeks post and apparently I conceived the week before my surgery. I am beyond scared and I honestly don't want to keep the child I have a 1 year old as it is. Just in the mist of a storm right now

Call your surgeon and discuss it with him. It may be too soon after your surgery for pregnancy to be safe for your or to be able to eat correctly for the baby.

Sorry you are going through this. Good luck whatever you decide.

I agree with Nikkidoc speak with your surgeon. If YOU feel like you don't want to continue the pregnancy that is YOUR choice. I know the feeling having had 2 kids already. I'm pro choice and know that whatever decision you make won't be an easy one. I'm here if u want to talk

Thank all of y'all I'm worried that because I went thru surgery my baby would have some major deficiencies and I know I would be a major high risk I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place

God doesn't make mistakes. This baby was conceived for a reason even though it is at a very difficult time for you. I pray that you choose life for your baby's sake as well as your own. An abortion on top of recently having surgery would be very risky for your health and its something you would likely regret the rest of your life. You can do this.

Please let's not make this political. OP: I hope that you get the answer's you need from your surgeon and together with your family are able to make a healthy choice for you and your family - whatever that is. Good luck!

Prayers sent your way. I hope you are able to talk with your surgeon.

If you conceived the week before your surgery and pregnancy wasn't detected on the urine test you should have had the day of your surgery, then I doubt the zygote was even formed enough to have had anything bad happen.

You make the choice that's best for you and your family right now. Best of luck to you.

My prayers are with you. And just for the record, not everyone regrets having an abortion for the rest of their lives. It was the right decision for me at the time and my biggest feeling was relief.

I don't think the baby will suffer because of food by the time it needs a ton more nutrients u will be able to eat more and u can always supplement with liquids such as Atkins shakes or similar things whatever u decide it's the right thing for you at this time positive thoughts and prayers for you

You'll make the right decision for your circumstances. Whatever happens you're among friends who support you.

For the first trimester, your baby won't need much nutrition wise from you. Think of all the women who can't hold anything down during that time. After three months, you'd likely get enough, and everything goes to your baby first, so, even more calories gone lol. Sorry this is so stressful for you. Maybe the father of your babies would be a good person to talk to.

Babies aren't disposable items that we get rid of out of convenience. Sorry but this post sickens me.

You know your option if you don't want to continue, you can also carry a child after a sleeve. It's a tough decision.
