Hi there, Congratulations on your weight loss nad your new baby coming. I too

have not made it to goal yet, I was 378 and have gotten down to 242 and then

I got pregnant nad so far have gained 5 pounds but that is okay and the doc is

happy about it. I really pigged out the first trimester but it has come to a

halt, I do not feel hungry like that anymore, it was more cravings everything

in site, no real hunger anyways, so I grazed and gained. Anyways, When I had

my first babies (twins) I was 325 when I got prego and went to 356 when I had

them, I was on a strict diet for gestational diabetes or else I probably would

of gained much more, and when I got prego for my daughter I was at least 375 (

not even sure) and I must of gotten to at least 425, I WAS HUGE, She was 9#4

and I was not put on the diet that time and gained alot but the docs scale did

not go up that far but I got thru it. I think you will be fine since you are

not nearly as big as I was, I felt great being prego with the twins and I was

feeling good with my daughter until the end when I hit over the 400 mark. I

feel ssssooooo different this time around, I feel GREAT weighing in the 250 area

and I am watching myself that I only eat what is good for me and the pooper

and drinking juices and milk and staying away from my diet soda ( yes, I broke

the rules) . Well, I have rambled enough, time for a coffee refill . Good Luck

with everything and keep us all posted

Heya,

I just wanted to say that I'm in the same boat you are. I started

out weighing 417 and found out I was preggers at 10 months out also.

I have gotten down to 270 but still have at least another 80lbs or

so to lose! I can tell ya this. I had my son 5 years ago when I

was 50lbs heavier and I had no problems. I did have gestational

diabetes that I controlled with diet but other than that I had an

amazing pregnancy. My son was born healthy weighing 7lbs 9 oz.

This pregnancy has been totally different. I cant decide if its

because im worried because of my WLS or if this pregnancy is just

that much different and harder. I am 12weeks 4 days preggers today

and have felt horrible. My blood sugar is LOWWWWW and tends to make

me dizzy. I find it hard to eat all the time worried that I will

gain my wieght back. I read about the miscarriages and worry that I

will be in that position too. My OB doesnt seem to worry. He Just

sees me every 2 weeks and has been doing blood to make sure that

everything is ok and so far everything is fine. I go in next week

for an ultrasound and check up so I guess we will see!! My doc has

been making me check my blood sugar levels 3 times a day and take 2

prenatals with my b-12, iron sups, calcium, vitamin E and Vitamin C.

I hope all goes well with your Pregnancy and hope that you keep us

posted!! I know I probably didnt give you the info you wanted but I

hope maybe it let you know that there is someone out there worried

about the unknown.

Huggers,
