New to this section!

I'm not new to the boards here on OH at all although it has been a long while since I've popped by...but I AM new to the pregnancy section here!  I had RNY 4 years ago in Oct and found out in June that I am surprisingly expecting and due in February. I'm very excited but as I'm progressing and I'm stepping on the scale I can't help but have a bit of panic every time the weight creeps up a little! I had reached my goal weight and stayed steady since I was about 10 months out but the idea of putting weight on is really freaking me out. How do you ladies handle it? I know its all for the baby but as I see other places besides just my stomach grow I panic! Any helpful suggestions or words of advice?

I have been dealing with the same thing, and it's not pleasant. I'll shoot you a message with my experience.

Knowing that we've all been down the same road with losing weight, I'm pretty sure this is something that we all experience at some point in our pregnancies.  I just try to take it one day (and one pound) at a time!

1st off congrats on the baby! I am thankful that I am starting to gain now. I actually lost and they thought that they were going to have to put me on the IV fluids. I guess being at one end or the other of the spetrum is not good! I know the ladies on here that I been in our shoes have been the best help for me. I was able to calm down and know I am not the only one. I really hope the best for you two.
