So, how has the pregnancy been with a DS? Is it hard to keep your labs in check? I would think vit D would be a challenge as well as calcium, since the baby needs a lot of those 2.
It seems like your weight is not going up too much which is good! Eventhough I know that's not even on your mind now.
I can't imagine being pregnant now with the DS. I would be so terrified I was not supplementing enough to keep the baby healthy. I can barely keep up with the vites to keep me on track, so thinking of the baby too would drive me crazy.

I never heard of any DSers having pregnancy complications now that I think of it!
But, that's one of the things pre-ops sometimes give for not wanting DS.. because they want to have kids inthe future. Does Dr. V have you in any DS pregnancy medical studies? I would think this is an area where DS surgeons should be doing more research.
I agree Dr. V is a great surgeon. If he coulda got the paperwork thing together I would have had my DS with him.
You never hear any complaints from his patients.
