Joining the other BFP's for today

Looks like I'll be joining you ladies. I'm only 5.5 months out, so I'm a little nervous about that. I haven't reached my goal weight yet, but my gears are shifting now. I'm a little unsure of what I should be adding to my vitamin routine? I'm still taking B-12 and Prenatal (have always taken as my multi).

Please know this wasn't intentional, we did use protection (condoms) and apparently we weren't as careful as we needed to be. I can't take hormonal BCP's because my body REALLY doesn't like them. Hopefully I don't get flamed... Thanks!

Congrats!! I don't have much advise because I'm in the same boat as you! Geez, spring must be in the air!!! All three of yesterday/today's new pregnancies are VSG folks. At least we can go through this together!

Congratulations to you too! I'm glad us VSGer's can hang together! Here's to a H&H 9 months for all of us!

I also have PCOS so I'm worries about miscarriages rates and everything. However, this is my 2nd pregnancy. With my first I was 338lbs when I got pregnant and 350 the day my son was born. I think 245 is a better starting number this time!

I know your mind is probably going 90 to nothing right now...but just to ease your mind a little....

I got preg. 9 months post op RNY.  I DID have doctors say I COULD start trying as I was at goal, and they didnt see a problem with my intake....my husband and I both had HORRIBLE infertility issues in the past (PCOS and Testicular cancer) .  

I did have "problems". It wasnt an "easy breezy pregnancy" but....BUT....I am  happy to report my DAUGHTER will be one on July 2.  she was born exactly 18 months post op.  (to the day) and is as healthy as possible...if not healthier than a lot of babies!  (just me being a happy mama)

Remember, EAT CARBS! Take your vits. Follow your drs and nuts orders...and I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH......

STAY HYDRATED!

H&H 9 months...

Your prenatal probly has the folic acid you need and the best part is that you had been taking it before getting pregnant which is the best. You might need iron later on but vitamins are very much based on personal needs. Get your lvls checked when they do the basic OB work up.

I got pregnant just about a year out from VSG (using condoms as well.. I blame him ^.^ ) and my baby boy is healthy. He was smallish at 6lbs 8oz but I strongly feel that was more due to family history than WLS. (I was only 6lbs as well)

You girls should do wonderfully. Congrats!

congrats i just foound out a few days ago also. I dont think youll get flamed its already done now the focus should be on the baby. its kind if cool that the 3 of us are pritty close

Congrats Megin! :)

Thanks everyone! I'm glad this is a safe zone!

Congratulations Megin, whens your due date? I haven't seen the OB yet, but according to various online due date calculators it looks like March 1st is a possibility for me. H&H everyone!

thank you looks like Feb 21st. I am on vacation so i havnt seen the OB yet either but am going to go in on monday and have an official test and make an appointment

Hi

Congrats.  You will get lots of help here. As the pp have said stay hydrated, up your carbs and make sure you get your bloods done. I had great iron levels before I got pregnant and for the first few months and then I was tired all the time even though I was taking my pre natals, my iron levels dropped really really low that I'm on 2 different types of iron and I have a 3oz Porterhouse steak nearly everyday. My levels are slowly coming back up.

The only thing that is different for me with this pregnancy is Bug is much much smaller than any of my other children for her measurments but we all know u/s can be off and I have more u/s to make sure she is growing ok which she is. She may not be in the "normal"growing curve but she is following her own very nicely.

Best wishes
