Almost 4 weeks post op and 5 weeks pregnant. Ok I posted last week. My surgeon had me to take a blood test to confirm and it showed positive at 5 weeks gestation. I'm scared but I saw a OB dr today and they told me my pregnancy will be ok but miserable.

I am shocked they did not do a pregnancy test before they did surgery. Honestly that is malpractice! Most women have a pee pregnancy test right before going into the OR, some have a blood pregnancy test. You had anesthesia, pain meds, etc.

I had my surgery on Halloween, I am hardly getting any calories in. I was starving every time I was pregnant (that's when I gained all my weight) I can't imagine feeling that way and hardly being able to get anything down.

I hope and pray it all goes well for you, you need to work closely with a nutritionist.

They did test and it was negative. We had intercourse the day before I had surgery. They say 5 weeks because of that 2-3 weeks difference from when you have your last period so technically the baby development started last week. The OB explained everything to me how pregnancy is calculated. I'm on soft foods and it's hard for me to eat it as it keeps coming up.

You just need to be careful with Protein and Calcium. The zygote would not have been implanted yet the next day, you you weren't technically pregnant. You'll probably be healthier with your new diet! CONGRATULATIONS! Is this your first?!

Thanks Annie this is my 2nd in 25 years. I was engaged 10 years ago and could not get pregnant was told a couple of years ago that due to my weight it would be hard.
