Re: Pregnant AAHH YES!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Just take good care of yourself . It's funny that alot of people who

had infertile years and finding themselves fertile after losing weight,

YEAH!!! I had many years of Clomid and IUI's without success and I finally gave

up

and got prego for twins on my own. My daughter was a first try back on Clomid

w/ IUI and the rest of my pregnancies have all been on my own too. But I tried

Clomid for over 8 years without success the first time around. ANyways, Take

care of you now, eat good things even if it has to be small amounts throughout

the day. Drink your fluids to keep from being dehydrated and take all your

vitamins you would normally be taking. Get to the drug store and pick up some

folic acid to add to those and when you see your doc they should add prenantals

to all those. Other than that, life as normal girl and enjoy your pregnancy

I just wanted to WELCOME you to the group!! Sorry I am unable to

answer your question about premature babies, this is my first

child. But as I have read on other sites and what my doctor told

me, having gastric bypass does not increase miscarriages or

premature babies. That the percentage is the same as it would be

for any woman. Have you scheduled your first pre-natal visit yet?

Your doctor should be able to ease your fears for you. Good Luck

and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Michele,

I am 33 weeks pregnant with my third baby (first since WLS). My

second was born at 28 weeks and weighted only 1 pound 9 ounces. That

was due to preeclampsia and developing HELP syndrome. With this

pregnancy I have had no problems of that nature. So if what caused

your first to come early was preeclamsia, then relax and enjoy this

pregnancy. By having WLS you have reduced your risk significantly.

If you had her early due to pre-term labor, I'd have to say just

watch-out for warning signs and stay in-touch with your doctor.
