2nd Baby after RNY

 Well I have a long history and havent been on here for a while. So, I'm going to briefly tell you my history.  I had RNY in September 2004, got pregnant in November 2004 and delivered a beautiful baby girl in August 2005.  Of course, she was our blessing but totally unexpected.  I have an awsome PCP and he took care of me along with my OB since I was kind of kicked out of the Gastric Bypass physicians office.  At that point, they couldnt care for me.  I never really got to learn what was hte proper way of eating because while pregnant, I had to eat everything and anything I could to get enough calories.  I lost 105 lbs through my pregnancy, but my princess gained all she needed.  She was born 8 lbs 7 oz.  

Over the years, Ive been up and down 20 to 40 lbs.  It sucks major.  This pregnancy was planned but unfortunately, I was not at the ideal weight.  Now I am scared of gaining all my weight back and needing surgery again.    So far, I am 12 weeks and havent gained anything.  But I am already showing and I am freaking out.  Any advice?

I've heard you tend to show earlier with subsequent pregnancies, so that's normal and not freakout worthy  :P  My weight had been stable prior to becoming pregnant, yet I lost an additional 12 pounds during my first trimester by just eating low in carbs, low in processed junk, and focusing on protein and fat (you know, all the things I should do even when not pregnant, but pregnancy gave me the motivation to buckle down). Now I'm 37 weeks as of today, and I'm about 25 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight. That's about an average amount of weight gain during pregnancy, so I'm not too worried about it. I think we overthink and over-worry ourselves with these things sometimes - just do what you know you should and try to enjoy your pregnancy  :)
