Anyone pregnant after getting a gastric sleeve?

It's been a year since my gastric sleeve and now pregnant. Worried and concerned about baby getting the nutrients it needs and how delivery will be, heard I'd have to get a chance section?

I just read up on this, talk to your health care provider. They should tell you what extra vitimins/ food you should be taking. And I also saw that it said there is a higher risk for a c section, but it doesn't say why. So again speak to your doctor and they should be able to talk theough it all x
