Unplanned pregnancy 7 weeks after tummy tuck. What are the risks?

julpearson
I am 43 and had my full tummy tuck and breast lift 7 weeks ago, including abdominal wall repair. I discovered over the weekend that I am quite unexpectedly pregnant, in spite of preventive measures. I would never terminate the pregnancy unless there were serious health risks to either myself or the baby. What are the potential risks, aside from probably ruining my surgery results?
