Want to get pregnant

Please help me to keep taking my pills. I've got strong urges to have another baby. I know I should wait to get pregnant for another 8 months, I even signed something saying I would use birth control for a year after surgery. I'm 35, my husband is 37 and we have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, Riley. I thought we'd wait until around Christmas, which would put me 10 months out. I'm just a little conflicted right now. Yikes. I would never stop taking my pills without discussing it with my husband, just need some support and wise words. thank you kind friends. Denise

Keep taking the pills!!!! I am 36 tomorrow and my husband is also 36 and we do not have one yet. We are going to try to get pregnant next year. If I understand it correctly we can't get enough nutrition right now to support a baby. But, in 18 months we can. I'm getting those baby urges too, but, well...you know....

Those urges can be overwhelming. I know you heart says now, but your brain says wait. I believe I would wait, so you can give your baby and yourself the best possiblities. I had my last at 37, and just think you will be in such better shape in 8 months. It will probably be a breeze. Debbie -52.5

that was one of the questions that i asked my dr. when I first went in, cos I plan on having another baby, he told me that I had to wait 18 months because otherwise I would not be compleatly healed inside and the baby needs more nutrition than I could supply right now. Good Luck Lee

boy you guys make me feel old....i had my last one at 41 yrs old (he is 14) and it was great...he did leave me with an additional 60lbs..but it was the best time of my life before this surgery. there will be time for the little ones...just think of all the things you will be able to do with them..i guess i'm a little jealous.

Denise, I'm 52, altho married we have no children. BUT I can truly understand what you are going thru. Just remember tho, a baby needs lots of good nutrition while you are carrying it and you won't be able to supply good nutrition to the baby until you are much further out from surgery. Don't take a chance with your health or the babies. Make good health for both of you the priority then it will be much easier to wait. My doctor says to wait 18 months so that his patients have achieved really good weight loss, they have healed thoroughly, and can also eat the extra calories/nutrients the baby will need. TAKE YOUR PILLS now ... your future baby's good health is dependent on waiting. Mary

Take those pills do it for the future healthy child you plan on, the risk have having a baby with severe disabilities is to high to take the chance get yourself healthly then get pregnant. Our bodies are in malabsorbiton right now and you may not be able to give a growing baby what he needs to have a healthy birth. I do know of someone who got pregnant too soon and had a stillborn birth so take care of yourself so you can have that healthy baby. Nancy
