Brief Answer:
No impact on pregnancy as long as your baby and you are healthy

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX hi
Welcome to HCM.

I appreciate your concern for an early pregnancy.

As long as you and your 5 months old baby are healthy, do not have any medical illness or nutritional deficiencies in my opinion there should not be any problem in continuing the present pregnancy.

But make sure that your nutrition should be adequate (protein rich), proper intake of regular meals, fruits, light exercise, etc.

You should take proper antenatal care (Iron & Folic acid tablets with Calcium supplements), periodic recording of BP, urine examination and ultrasound scans as would be suggested by your obstetrician.

Hope the suggestion given above could be useful.

Best regards.
