My Mexican Souvenir!

So I am finally back to normality, the wedding is all over and we had a wonderful time in Mexico, here are a few photos from our honeymoon:

 






Anyway, back home I am shocked to discover that I'm pregnant. I was freaking out a bit at first, it wasn't planned, but hey it was obviously meant to be and I have come around to the idea now!! I am so excited, however slightly apprehensive!!! I wasn't expecting to bring a Mexican souvenir of that sort home with me!!

So anyway I had to share my news with someone! It is too early to tell all my family and friends, so I thought I'd share with my OH friends!!

Hope everyone is keeping well?!!

Thank you so much! I'm so excited right now! It's just starting to sink in for me I think, and is feeling more real (well the morning sickness is making it real!).

It was such a wonderful shock, we are both thrilled!

Hope you are keeping well?

I loved being pregnant! I had a bit of morning sickness but not too bad but I just loved sticking my tummy out in a sort of "hey, look at me, I'm pregnant" way!

Do you have extra doc's instructions because of WLS?

I have really bad all day sickness at the moment which isn't great . I've also been suffering headaches, and severe tiredness.... but I'm told these are all good signs!!!

I do have extra docs instructions yes.... I've had to stop most of my supplements beside the calcium, and I have to take pregnacare and pregnacare plus ( and they cost a fortune!). I have to have blood tests every 6 weeks, and have been put on an adjusted diet to include lots more dairy and carbs ( both of which I don't tolerate well). I'm doing my best to stick to it all too, the baby is the most important thing and I will do all I can to make sure we're both ok!

I will also have to see a high risk consultant who my surgeon will liase with, just to make sure we're both getting what we need and to make sure baby develops ok! I will also have to go see my dietician every month so she can assess me. I'm only 13 months post surgery and I have 2 years free aftercare as part of my package so they are looking out for me!!

It is going to be none stop appts until next April by the sounds of it lol!! April 10th is my EDD at the moment, although I am going for a scan next week and they will confirm this!


I'm SO excited!!

If your doc says you MUST have the supplements, can't you get a prescription? So being Welsh  -  free! In fact, free in England too for pregnant women! I know they won't usually give scripts for supplements like vitamins but if they are essential......??

Anyway, sounds like you are being well looked after. Have you checked out the WLS pregnancy board on OH?

The dr who I saw wouldn't give them to me on prescription even though my surgeon said they are neccessary. I'm seeing my usual GP next week though, so hopefully she may give them to me on prescription.

I have checked out the WLS Pregnancy board and have found it to be very helpful! I'm so glad I've got all the help and support I need!!
