Mommy-to-be
Hello all!
I'm new to this thread. I usually hang aound the ontario thread and someone over there suggested I come on this one and ask questions and read about everyone's experiences.
As you have guessed, I'm a RNY patient not quite 14 months out and recently found out I'm pregnant. This is my 4th child. I'm due around september 23rd.
I'm a little concerned, because I have gotten pregnant on birth control, and I haven't even reached the 18 month mark, as all the docs recommend. I've also had issues with my bloodwork. Low in just about everything. But have been "trying" to keep up and take at least my multi-vits. Only now that I'm pregnant I'm almost obsessing and am now taking all my supplements religiously.
I guess, my doc will be keeping a close eye on me and having me get bloodwork regurlarly.
Well...thank you all in advance if you leave messages and info. Looking forward to knowing you all.

It's good that you're being more consistent w/your vits - you need them whether you're pg or not...but more so now than ever. Whatever the baby needs, he/she will get - at your expense if you're not taking care to get the supplements. You will be the one deficient. Keep taking all of them - not just the multi - and have your dr keep your labs checked, especially if you're already low on things.
I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Please feel free to hop in here w/questions (or even answers to others' questions).
