Pregnancy after Gastric Bypass?

[NurseRosemary 2]

I haven't seen many posts regarding pregnancy after gastric bypass

I Am 14 months post RNY and almost 6 weeks pregnant I'm super nervous about my baby getting the nutrients it needs. Anyone out there experience pregnancy post RNY ?

I would assume your PCP and OBGYN would adequately provide you with the right guidelines for nutrition, diet recommendations and supplement information. That is of course assuming your OBGYN is experienced in dealing with pregnant WLS patients.

I would do some research (Google had some good reads) and make a list of concerns/questions/suggestions to take with you to your next PCP and or OBGYN appointment.

Don't leave it the hands of your medical professionals, you need to educate yourself on what to expect during your pregnancy since you are a WLS patient.

I wish you and your family the best of luck and an easy pregnancy.

Thank you I'm aware of how to google and such additionally I am working with a very informative midwife however

I was looking for more of people's personal experiences, I have a child already but with this one I have the RNY under my belt. It will be very different this time around

I had no problems with my pregnancy. I had rny December 2011 and had my baby November 2014. At 14 months out you should be ok. Your baby is going to get the nutrients it needs first, you second.
