Goal on Hold - Pregnant!

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and had a great 1st trimester. I think WLS prepared me for this. Small meals often really helps with morning sickness. I was wondering if there was anyone else who is now pregnant and due around my same date 3/17/05. Wising Girl Vibes! ~Sandy

Hi Sandy, I am right there with you. I had surgery the same day and I am pregnant and due on March 9th. Congratulations and I am glad you had a good first trimester. Is the your first? I have two girls already and this is my third so I am hoping for some boy vibes here!!!

Hi Heather!! Congratulations!! I had the surgery for the goal of getting pregnant, with a Healthy side effect of weight loss. I'm so excited. I'm obsessive when I get excited, and it is my first. You can imagine how thrilled I must be. You should join this yahoo group. I've enjoyed it. We are all March Mommies - some are first time moms, others have children already. I'm also on the OSSG Pregnant group for people who have had WLS. If you'd like the link to that one, let me know. I'll get it. I don't have it handy. Are you going to find out the sex before hand or have a surprise? Glad to meet you! Sandy Here is that link: [email protected]

Thanks Sandy for the link. I will check it out. I am on the other yahoo group for pregnancy after surgery. What a great group. I will not be finding out the sex until birth. I like the surprise but it is very hard to wait. Heather

hello. i just found out i am 7 weeks pregnant, due in may. and my rouen-y was 5/19/03. i am 30 pounds from goal... i have a 6 1/2 year old daughter. what is funny, is that i got my approval letter from my insurance for my tummy tuck, 3 days after i found out i was pregnant!!! talk about tears of frustration!- oh well... whatta ya gonna do. good luck ladies...

WOW!!!! How wonderful for you Sandy and for everyone who's posted here in this thread!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!! Caroline

Well it must be in the air! I found out in September that I am preggos! I am due May 9th, exactly 2 years after my RNY! Isnt that a real turn of events! It was a hard decision to make, choosing between having surgery or having another child. I have one son, he's 4 now. I really didn't want this much time between children, but having surgery was the best thing I could do for a new child. I am so much healthier now that I have lost 120#s. I have had one very strange side effect with my morning sickness. It seems to be coming out the other end. I have just entered my 2nd trimester so it has gotten a lot better, but several mornings a week I would get the runs 1/2 way through my morning. Other than that, I have gained a pound and a couple inches. How is weight management for you all?? Is there a pregnancy message board on this site?? I like the OSSG pregnancy but can't keep up with their activity. Is there any smaller pregnancy boards?? Thanks in advance if you can reply to my questions!

Congratulations Jeanette! Pregnancy for me has been going very well. I'm 22 weeks + 1 day today. It's going by pretty quickly, but doesn't make it go any faster. I still can't wait!! I found out I'm having a baby boy. We are going to name him Dawson Royce. I'm slowly getting things ready for his room and trying to stay organized. The ole tale of losing your mind while being pregnant is the truth. I can't tell you how many things I've forgotten and have trouble keeping track of. LOL I have a hard time keeping up with the OSSG pregnancy group as well, but there is another yahoo group for March Mommies. It's not geared towards those with gastric bypass specificially, but I've learned a ton and found my pregnancy is very normal. You might try that group. It's a busy one as well though. Feel free to keep in touch with me privately - [email protected] I love to talk with other pregnant moms and would enjoy the exchange of experiences. Hope everything is going well for each of you!
