I am 10 years post-op RNY and I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my first child.  I don't look like I am 33 weeks pregnant and I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced not looking as pregnant as they were.  I see other woman who are as far along as I am and they look pregnant.  I just want a healthy baby but sometimes can't help but wish I looked more pregnant.  I just hope that I am not the only one who has felt this way after having WLS and then getting pregnant.

I am 5'9" so I am tall.  But when I was pregnant people didn't know till I was well into my 7th month.  And I was only 150 lbs at the time.  So I don't know where I was hiding the baby.  I joked that I had her neatly folded in my uterus to maximize space (like when you are packing for vacation)...LOL!!!  I thought it was great.  I never had trouble getting up from a chair, never had back problems, I never waddled...it really was great.  I was never uncomfortable.  My belly never got huge.  At 9 months I was not that big at all and I was able to bend over, shave my legs, sit on the floor...do whatever I did before.  No problems

Seriously though I was only 15 when I got pregnant and my mom saw me at 6 1/2 months and had no idea that I was pregnant.  I wore my regular clothes though till my 3rd trimester.  I figured it was because I was tall.

By the way my daughter was 7.5 lbs and 21 inches long and perfectly healthy.  She is now 26 years old and is still my little girl.
