CoolSculpting and pregnancy
CoolSculpting, like most aesthetic devices have not been tested on pregnant women. In my practice, women trying to conceive are not good candidates for CoolSculpting by Zeltiq

CoolSculpting can be done prior to conception
As long as you have not had difficulty having children previously, then CoolSculpting can be done prior to you conceiving. Elective cosmetic treatment, including CoolSculpting, is generally not done during pregnancy. If however, a patient has not been able to conceive easily and has very little body fat, which has been shown to interfere with conception, then CoolSculpting should be avoided preceding the attempt to conceive and wait until after delivery and nursing.

Coolsculpting before pregnancy
Coolsculpting affects the fat not the organs beneath. It should not be peformed during or immediately after pregnancy.

No Effect on Pregnancy
I would NOT recommend Zeltiq if you are pregnant. But, to treat areas after pregnancy is not a problem. The fat removal is permanent regardless if you become pregnant again. There have been no studies that show the effect of Zeltiq on an unborn fetus, therefore I would not undergo Zeltiq if you thought or knew you were pregnant.
