A big problem.

It seems that I had lost 100 pounds only to gain 7 back when my husband came home from Iraq for a visit. Now I might be pregnant. I am scared and happy. Will it be safe for me to be pregnant right now? Please help me. Thanks, Michelle Singer

Hi Michelle, I was just thinking about you...wondering how you were doing. It sounds like your visit with your hubby was good!!! As far as the possibility of your being pregnant, don't freak out yet until you know one way or the other for sure. I know that it happens... you're not alone. Once you are sure, I would definitely go talk to your surgeon and see what you need to do to keep the baby healthy. At least you're 8 months out and not, say, 3 or 4. Email me if you feel like talking further! Wishing you all of the best, Kerri

Michelle, Kerri had the best advice, make sure you are and then go talk to your surgeon for the best way to help both you and baby. Keep us posted hun and CONGRATS if you are! Debra P

Thank you guys for your help. I will be picking up a pregnancy test soon. I appreciate your help. Michael and I did have a very nice visit together. He went back to Iraq the day after Valentines day. He was so sweet and told me I didn't need to lose anymore weight. I laughed and said like I can stop it. ;) Thanks again. Michelle

Michelle, I have a friend that has a beautiful baby girl that she got pregnant for 3 months after surgery. She hadnt been able to get pregnant for 11 years. She just had to eat a little more and more often to make sure the baby got the nutrients she needed. She still lost 187lbs altogether. So good luck and I am glad that you enjoyed your husbands visit.
