Hi there and welcome!

I became unexpetedly pregnant at 7 mos post-op and I was 75% of my

weight loss. I still wish I would have waited because it's been hard

on my body and between surgery and pregnancy I feel like I have

been " out of sorts " with my body for a very long time.

I had a very bad morning sickness throughout the whole 9 mos (I am 39

weeks now) so I didn't gain much weight at all, I actually lost a lot

in the beginning and then stabilized and gained back about 10-12 lbs

later on.

Sonograms were done throughout the pregnancy and the baby's weight

was good, but I always worried that I wasn't gaining enough...that I

wasn't giving her enough nutrients, etc...etc...

I know that we as expentant mothers will always find something to

worry about but I think when it comes to something we can control

it's nicer not to have to worry.

If I had it to do again I would have waited a little longer because I

think my body would have been more ready, but I can't deny that I am

happy to be having my first baby and all has worked out well thus

far. God willing she will be born soon and will be healthy.

Best of luck to you.
