I'm currently 5 weeks pregnant and 6 weeks post op I'm worried my baby will have neural tubing defects, has anyone who got pregnant early and high risk had a baby with neural tubing defects? Is there a way to treat it or prevent it ? I'm wanting my baby too grow up living a normal life and happy I'm so worried I might have to put my baby up for adoption

I would see a doctor asap. I’m sure there are things you can do to reduce the risks but the sooner the better. If you have a hard time getting in, see if your surgeons office can help.

Congratulations! Definitely see your doctor & then your surgeon. Start adding folic acid to your vitamin regime now - get supplements from your pharmacy.

Also, talk to your dietician about what you can add to your post surgical diet to ensure you’re getting in a variety of nutrients. You may be surprised how few extra calories you’ll need - you’re not eating for two adults but for yourself & a tiny growing baby.
