One day at a time...

[HalloweenBaby24 447]

I need to learn how to slow down and take everything one day at a time.
Still in the post-op stage with one 1 or 2 more appointments to go before I submit to my insurance company and I find myself questioning whether or not I'm on the right track..
My daughter's 5th birthday is quickly approaching, the closer it gets the Stronger my want is for another baby.
My husband wants me to wait and try again before the surgery, But I know that's not the right thing to do. I don't want to gain on top of my HW of 246lbs.
So, I just need to suck it up and wait it out.

BABY FEVER!! ;P

Oh, baby fever is NO JOKE! Mine is more pregnancy fever though...I miss being pregnant but having a 12 month old reminds me I can wait a little longer before jumping into this again, lol.

Well for me, my first pregnancy started when I was 190lbs and through it had high blood pressure which resulted in pre-term labor at 35 weeks. Thankfully my daughter came out perfectly healthy at 5lbs 8oz (you would never know she was a premie now!) And I was fine after delivery. Fast forward 3 year's later 2012 I found myself pregnant again, this time at 230lbs and still suffering with the high blood pressure. I went 12 weeks before we lost the baby (heart stopped beating), whether or not it was directly related to my weight I don't really know but I'm not willing to take the chance of getting pregnant again before I lose a good amount of weight this time around.

I've done a ton of baby/pregnancy research and would be shocked if your loss was weight related. All types of women, unfortunately, have had unexplained losses! Try not to blame yourself!

Of course losing weight is always the better option but I was 197 when I got pregnant, gained 60 lbs, and had a perfectly healthy and normal pregnancy and birth! (And a band baby at that!)

[HalloweenBaby24 447]

Well, Every time I've gotten pregnant I tend to suffer from High Blood Pressure (Only when I'm pregnant).

On top of that this past year I got married in October and we wanted to try again after (I did Atkins for 7 months before the wedding and lost 26lbs), So since then I've been off my Birth Control with no such luck and gained all the weight back and then some and now my monthly has stopped altogether without explanation. I went to my OB last month and she basically told me to lose 100lbs and thing's would "Fall into place", Easier said then done right? lol.

[ErinMarie 186]

lol, no kidding! "Oh 100 lbs? NO PROB LADY!"

I feel you though. I lost 97 lbs and by my 1 yr bandiversary my periods still weren't regular! It took another 3 months after that to get a period. I stopped birth control on Jan didn't get pregnant until Aug even after all that weight. Have you ever been checked for PCOS? I also attrubite a lot of this crap to hormones. My body is REALLY affected by hormones...like so much I just went back on the mini pill because 'regular' birth control was turning me into a major bia! mood swings, crying, no patience... so not fun! I wanted the copper IUD but it scares me a bit.

Ovaries are weird

[HalloweenBaby24 447]

See that's the funny thing, after my daughter I had a check-up and they told me I had PCOS. I went home and did some research on it and turns out they couldn't really diagnos me with it until they had done blood work, I got the blood work done and they told me I was Negative for it. Also, had the copper IUD for a year and hated it my periods were like 2 weeks long with severe bleeding.

I wouldn't recommend it.

[ErinMarie 186]

That's one of the reasons I don't want it...I've also heard my hubby might feel it during sex and he didn't like the sound of that lol.

I thought I had pcos too but I had no actual cysts. Sigh...lady parts y u so weird?!

I have the mirena iud, it has stopped my.period completely and no one has ever told me they could feel it.

[HalloweenBaby24 447]

The reason I didn't get the Mirana was because I was trying to avoid the hormones. My husband never felt my iud either, it was just he never got to enjoy me because I was constantly bleeding with it.

[daw3378 93]

Yuck, I'm glad I had the opposite happen.
