Pregnant...

Well Yesterday I found out that I am 5 weeks, 3 days pregnant... Not sure what to think yet. As of June I will be 1 year Post OP, and Have went from 337 pounds to right now 160. I am 24, I have one 7 year old son now, so this will be my second. I would like some advice, suggestions... anything on a few things... 1st has anyone had a baby after the gastric bypass? if so please fill me in on any info that is different ect ect. 2ed with my 2st child I went from 140 pounds to 220, so I dont want to gain all the weight I just lose back again... what can I do? 3rd anyone know of a good ob doctor in Tampa? Thanks Tiffini

Hi Tiffini. Congratulations. I met a girl at our last support meeting who just had a baby after surgery. She lost 100 pounds, then got pregnant. Since baby (6weeks) she has lost 30 pounds. She did not say how much she gained tho. She said she had a normal pregnancy. The baby was a healthy weight. She exclusively breast feeds also. If you wouldn't mind, please keep me updated on the pregnancy. I would like to have another in about a year. I would love to follow your progress. If bribery works, I can even crochet you a beautiful baby blanket.

congrulations on your baby... all will be fine

Tiffini, There is a lady from Tampa, Jannell Tubbs and her step daughter had WLS and she had a healthy pregnancy, went to 35 weeks and delivered triplets!! Here is the link to Jannell's profile where she talks about her step-daughter's pregnancy: http://obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/forums/profile.phtml?N=T1059607833&ID=999802784 Karee
