Hi Shayla,

Welcome! There are lots of us that got pregnant just after surgery

or before the 1 year was up. I got pregnant while on birth control

pills 3 months after having surgery. Not what I would have chose,

but someone had other plans for us! We are thrilled but in the

beginning we were very worried but after seeing the midwives who

delivered my 2 other daughters and a perinatologist, there have been

no complications, I have a baby growing that is right on target and

healthy. I take a prenatal, 2 calcium and an iron suppliment that

doesn't cause constipation. Everything is going well except for two

good sized hernias which just make me not have a ton of support for

my back or belly. Other than that, all is great. I'm 28 weeks. I

have lost weight until this past week, I think I gained 5lbs so

far. I wish you lots of luck and pleasant pregnancy and healthy

baby.

Jenn, mom to 7 1/2, Caroline 4 and little baby girl due May

14, 2004.

Shayla,

Welcome to our group and congratulations to you!! I currently take a prenatal

vitamin that my OB prescribed along with my multivitamin, iron, b12, calcium and

I added folic acid when I found out that I was pregnant. Best wishes to you!!
