Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 For me much of the confusion is that I have never heard of the term " fallen pregnant " . Is this a common term in your area? Something regional? Or perhaps my 30+ years since pregnant are showing. I love new terms and would like to know more about this. I have heard of fallen women, fallen arches, fallen cakes, and fallen dreams. But fallen pregnant is new to me. I rather like the way it sounds. Sounds like is a very loved and appreciated child. How wonderful for all of you. in Seattle DS 1/5/01 295# BMI 47.6 4/5/01 240# BMI 38 Dr Welker - OHSU ----- Original Message ----- > Loriann > Thankyou for your heartfelt words and I am so sorry for your loss.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2001 Report Share Posted April 15, 2001 Dear , I have heard the idiom, 'to fall pregnant', meaning 'to end up pregnant'. It doesn't mean 'to get pregnant'. It is colloquial, maybe related to the idea of a fallen women or state. It's bad enough being a woman, and then you add pregnancy to it and you end up 'falling pregnant'... There is a problem with the idiom, in that it is hard to distinguish between women who fall when pregnant and women who fall to get pregnant.... Incidentally, , your point is well taken that just because one sees a shrink does not mean that one is crazy. One is crazy to see a shrink, however, just because some skinny, undernourished NIH potentate with a good start on a god complex thinks one should. What is the morality of forcing sick fat people to waste their time at psychologists and dieticians in order to cover one's ass from nuisance malpractice suits arising from patients not following reasonable physician orders? What, too, is the morality of allowing the physician to indulge in behaviors related to a god complex as Emma 's behavior loosely indicates? lcp PS. It occurs to me that wanting to get the surgery ASAP is a sign of a healthy person. It is a bit strange the notion that a crazed morbidly obese person desires a surgery that will interfere with their ability to overeat. What we have here is a situation where people are doing everything they can to make themselves well and the medical profession is doing more than it ought to make it tough on them. That's what peeves me about this entire business. We fatsos are being discriminated against while endeavoring to do the right, healthy thing. What should we call this new surgical syndrome? 's Brainless Chorea? The CYFA Syndrome? Tridumbnial Neuralgia? NIHrhea? Idiopathic Malpractice Phobia? Are there any fat people in Heaven?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 Congratulations Tammy! I do not know about a support group for your situation. Hopefully someone else can help there. Betty Pregnancy I have been a reader for some time but never a poster. I feel now is the time. I have just found out I am 2 months pregnant. I will be 40 the 30th of this month, 1st pregnancy, and scared as hell. Mainly about the pregnancy and birthing, and of course the weight gain. I had a gastric bypass in 1996. I DO NOT want to be FAT again. I have had 2 stoma closures because of an ulcer in the past. That is pretty much it. What I would like to know is if there is a group for graduates that are or have been pregnant. Any help or info shared would be greatly appreciated.
