You don't say when you had your tubes tied. Is it possible you were already pregnant when that procedure was done?

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

Usually, once you have had a tubal ligation, pregnancy is uncommon.  Did you do a pregnancy test and get a positive?  IF you did, then you need to see your OB/GYN immediately.   Pregnancy after a tubal ligation can result in an ectopic pregnancy- meaning that the fertilized egg is in your fallopian tube, not your uterus- this is an emergency and requires immediate medical attention.  They can do an ultrasound to see where everything is.  

With pregnancy, anything is possible, so if you did have a tubal ligation and you are pregnant then I would say that this is uncommon (although not impossible).  Congratulations and good luck!
