Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 - My 3 week old was 9lbs 3oz and would of hurt coming out but I had an epidural and couldn't feel it!Ha! He was also forceps delivery. By the way, my autistic daughter was the least invasive of my deliveries! She is autistic and none of my others are, well, all are well past the age of becoming autistic except my baby.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hello-- My autisic daughter is adopted so I can't help much. I do know she went into labor 6 weeks early and the drs. gave her something to stop the labor til she was due and weight 6 pounds something. Two of my natural sons pitocin was used, prolonged labor and prolonged prodomal labor and both had good weight. Neither have any problems (now 15 & 19) except they are teenages. Hello- My autisic daughter is adopted so I don't have a lot to go on. I do know she went into labor early. It was stop and then she was delieverd regulary. Two of my natural sons were delieverd with pitocin and had long hard labors. The only thing with them is they are teenage boys (15 & 19) Hope it helps.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Kathleen, I have a 7yr old autistic daughter, here in the UK. She had a straight forward delivery, no interventions. Also 9lb 3oz, following a 3 1/4 hour labour. Only gas and air for the pushing stage., which only lasted 15 minutes. She was fully breastfed up until one year of age and we stopped this just 3 weeks prior to her receiving the MMR. I would like to add, that she has been seen by The Royal Free Hospital, London and she has Ileal Lymphonodular Hyperplasia, Leaky Gut and the measles virus has also been found in the bowel tissue. We now have Solicitors fighting our case. Carol (Mum to Joanne) Re: Pregnancy Kathleen I have an 9 1/2 year old autistic daughter and I did not have any of the items on that list.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Dear Elaine, I wanted to go the natural route as I did with my firstborn son. I had so much water gain with my first pregnancy that my son kind of came flying out and was clean too! So when came along, and I was 20 lbs. lighter with her, I figured it would be a cinch. Little did I know how big she really was. Her heaed came out, but her shoulders, being 3 centimeters widewr than my son, got stuck. It was really comical if it hadn't have hurt so much.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 I have a four year old daughter with Autism. The only thing on the list that fits me is that I was induced.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 The drs were afraid that 's shoulders would get stuck too, but thankfully they didn't. I will stick with little babies!ha! But then is definitely my last one. And we are enjoying him so much. The next to the youngest is nearly so it has been awhile for a baby here. At 2 wks he weighed 10lbs, 5oz. He is really growing! On topic- is suffering a bit from jealousy. She will stand in the hall and flick the switch when we are holding him. She is slowly warming up to the point where she will come in the living room when he is in there now but will not hold him.She will talk about the baby and smile when she sees him as long as she doesn't have to get close! She has never wanted to hold little tiny babies. She likes them when they are about 6 months old. I guess she thinks they are too little and wiggly before that.

That is fantastic! You definitely have lots of questions for the doc! Take your foodmover along and ask his advice!

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Congratulations! And yep, you have a few questions for the doctor. Jelayne pregnancy Hey all!!! Well, here is the deal..... I just found out I am pregnant... :-) NOW what? I will never make goal... I can't intentionally try to lose weight... I am on the Foodmover, that is healthy by the American Diabetic and Dietetic Association and is the exchange program. So, I should be able still to use it if I increase the calories and exchanges according to what is necessary for pregnancy, right? So, what if I still lose weight? I gots lots of questions for de doctor, don't I? lol April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 -----Original Message----- From: April [mailto:missapril@...] >> I just found out I am pregnant... :-) Congrats!! that's great news! >>NOW what? I will never make goal... I can't intentionally try to lose weight... Never say never! It may take a bit LONGER to reach goal, but look what you're gaining by the delay!!! As long as the baby is getting good nutrition, you should be able to stay on track. You need to add enough calories for the baby, but could end up lighter after delivery than you are now.... >>I gots lots of questions for de doctor, don't I? lol You sure do! And if the doctor isn't supportive of your attempt to stay on plan (with adding calories for the baby) -- you could always get a second opinion....

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Thanks everyone! I just found out I am pregnant, I am not that far along. The due date will be somewhere around the first week of August. I am not that far along in my weight loss effort either. BUT I had a bet with my son that I would lose 80 pounds in one year. When my bday rolls around, I have to weigh around 200 lbs. I began at 288. I have only lost a few lbs so far. I did some reading, and it says that you only need to add about 300 calories to your diet to compensate for the baby's needs. It gave me the exchanges and it looks like it is around a 2100-2400 cal diet. Which at this point in the game, is not much more than what I am doing for the Foodmover program. I have myself set at 2000 already. And I don't eat all that food, no matter how much I try. I think I would be doing well to force myself to eat all that while being pregnant....... keep walking and keep doing the stretching exercises, yoga type exercises. In my case, diet has not been the problem as much as exercising is. My weight comes off with the exercising. Won't without it. It might work for me.....to keep on keeping on and let the chips fall where they will. If I keep on the diet and lose, great, and if I don't, then I am still healthier for it. The most important thing is that the baby will be okay. And YES, I will talk to the Doctor, of course. :-) April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gained 60 pounds with my daughter and lost it all after she was born. Then I gained 80 pounds with my son (went through a divorce while pregnant with him) and am still carrying around some of that weight now 25 years later! You are indeed a lucky woman!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Congrats TO YOU! Oh, I loved being pregnant. I never counted my calories. I ate, what my body wanted me to eat, and I lost up to 40 pounds with my first baby and he weighted almost 10 pounds, and Chelsea weighted 7 pounds and I ate everything I wanted and did not gain one extra pound! Good luck to you. Re: pregnancy > > Thanks everyone! I just found out I am pregnant, I am not that far along. The due date will be somewhere around the first week of August.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 LET ME SHARE WITH YOU MY EXPERIENCE. When you go to Dr. and suggest that you need to lose weight---while your pregnant----THEY will SCOLD YOU and look at you VERY funny. They will say things like: You should have lost weight before getting pregnant if that is what you wanted, or they will suggest putting it off until after delivery. They will sternly suggest that you not GO ON ANY TYPE OF DIET, and somehow expect you not to gain over 20-25 pounds. Out of all due respect, I would basically NOW, just be worried about NOT gaining more than 25 pounds and forget the food mover until you have baby. peace Re: pregnancy > In a message dated 12/7/2002 2:32:49 PM Central Standard Time, > missapril@... writes: > > > gots lots of questions for de doctor, don't I? lol > > > > April > > > > April - congratulations on being pregnant!
