Carey,

I had my Lap RNY on 6/21/01 and I am now almost 17 weeks pregnant. So far

so good. Mine also wasn't planned however we are very excited now. My

only problem has been trying to get in adequate amounts of protein however

with supplements I have been able to accomplish the task. This whole group

has been great, so post away. Someone will surely have an answer.

Another pg newbie here....

I had Open RNY 7/18/01 and am now 10.5 weeks pg. This was CLEARLY not

a planned pregnancy, but we'll deal with it. I have 2 stepkids and a

3.5-yo son at home, so this will be my 2nd and DSO's 4th child!!!!

Anyway, I guess I need some info about how this works. Does anyone

have stats on success or failures of pregnancies this soon after WLS??

Thanks, Merry! I'm pretty good with protein, but not so good with vites and

water.....

We sound like we are in the same boat. We are about the same point in

our preganancies. I also have 2 step kids and a 3.5 yr. old. I had my

Open RNY 6/25/01 just shortly before yours. So, as I don't have a lot

of advice yet just know you aren't alone. I wish you a happy

pregnancy. I hope to see you on the board a lot.

I'm 31, 32 on Feb. 22nd. Went to the dr. today to hear the baby's

heartbeat, he couldn't find it at first, so he did an ultrasound. We saw

the baby, wiggling it's hands and feet! We saw the heart beating away. I'm

going in for another ultrasound (full bladder) on Thursday to see if we can

get a better picture to figure out the due date. We're pretty excited!!

Nope.. at least I'm not sure yet! I read that after I sent it and realized

that I screwed up! I'm going to share with you all my journey thus far. I

took provera and it brought on a long awaited period on 1/19/02 (haven't had

AF since 4/98 when I got pg with my son, then my daughter and then the depo

shot). According to a few things online it said my fertile time was

(according toa 28-30 day cycle being optimistic) was 1/31-2/5 and I did an

OPK (ovulation predictor kit) which got a 2nd line that kept getting darker

until yesterday when the lines matched showing ovulation within 24-36hrs. No

guarantee but it meant that my system has the hormone. Today I took the last

of the 5 tests and there was no 2nd line. So now this is all new to me and

I'm assuming that either I did or did not " O " but that the LH hormone is now

gone from my system.

I'm on the 2 week wait now.. ho hum :0)

I have had a really bad problem with my gums since I got pregnant... I went

and got a cleaning ... make sure I floss good ... rinse with Listerine ...

then rinse with Salt water... My gums have gotten so much better. You have to

take extra special care when you are pregnant. My dentist says because of the

extra hormones your gums need special attention. It really sucks ... but they

do feel so much better now. Good luck!

No, THIS IS NOT MY FIRST. I HAVE A 11YR OLD A 8 YR OLD AND A 10 MONTH OLD.AND

WOULD REALLY LIKE ANOTHER ONE BUT DH SAID NO MORE.

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam, et al.

Thanks for responding, actually thank you to everyone who responded. I will be

40 in August. I will be 1 year post-op in July. I have 2 daughters from a very

brief marriage they are 14 and 13, I have always wanted another child but the

timing was always wrong. I have been in a commited relationship for the past 12

uyears. Funny, but I think that he is finally ready, and now I have cold feet. I

also have three other children 13,11,9. I 'm sure that you may think 5 kids that

should be enough but in truth I have always felt that someone was missing.

I also suffered from huge back problems while I carried around my 324 pound body

( pre-op) I am a slow loser in my opinion, I think one of the reasons is that I

have in the past lost over 100#'s by dieting, I was a huge yoyo dieter however

those sins are all now in the past. I am healthy and pain free. I have lost 85

# " s so far and expect to be down about 40-50 more pounds by the end of summer.

If anyone has any good reputable sites that have information in regards to

having another child at 40 please forward the address to me. thank you allin

advance. TLC
