Pregnancy

OK - I am 2 1/2 years post-op and I'm not pregnant yet - but I would like to be in the next year. Who has been out as long & has had a baby? Problems...concerns...suggestions?

Thanks, Amy 242-135-goal

Did you check out the pregnancy forum yet. Sure someone there could help you. Good luck!!

Hey Amy... I had my first pregnancy at 16mos and did fabulous!! Gained about 25lbs and had a perfect 7lb 8oz baby girl. 4 months after giving birth I was pregnant AGAIN!!! Had a little harder time with ligaments and things on the second one, a little enimic and gained around 26lbs but had another perfect baby...8lb 9oz baby boy. I had to eat every 2-3 hrs due to blood sugars....I was also a water-x instructor and personal trainer during the entire 2 pregnancies. Stay active, eat what you need and take care of YOU, the baby will take what it needs, so don't worry about that. GOOD LUCK!!!! Deanna K

Hi Amy, I did great with my second baby (had one preop and one postop).  The only problem had nothing to do with the baby - I started some of my old bad habits because I though I could and never lost all the weight after the pregnancy.  Pregnancy and baby were/are wonderful!   And as someone else mentioned, the pregnancy board is awesome! Best of luck to you! Laina Lap RNY 9/9/03 Mommy to JT (04/23/02) and Sarah (11/18/05)
