Question
I just had surgery for breast augmentation 2 weeks ago and found out today that I am pregnant.i also was given vicodin and keflex, one is for pain and the other for infection.What can happen if i chose to go through with the pregnancy? I would really like to know. thanks
Hi Annel
This happens to more people than you can imagine. The answer is that the majority of people go on to have a normal pregnancy and a normal child. The op and drugs should not effect your decision - if you want the baby then go for it. Given the very small risk of any issue I know that my wife and I would continue.
Kind regards
Dr Ian Jackson
