Surprise!

Well, somehow I got pregnant. Before anyone starts with the birds and bees lesson, I GOT that part, thanks! LOL!

I got pregnant while on birth control. I took the pills every day at the same time, didn't take any antibiotics, etc. Everything was by the book, but somehow, I'm pregnant. Needless to say, hubby and I are in major shock. We didn't plan on any more children.

Anyway, I got the surprise of my life last week. My OB said that it's a one in two thousand chance of it happening. Those are some pretty insane odds!!!!

I'm taking it as a blessing and that, for some reason, we were meant to have another child. However, I'm still in shock! LOL!

BTW, is it normal for me to be scared to death to gain any weight? I'm so nervous about not being able to fit into my clothes.

CONGRATTTTTS. If you gain a little during pregnancy so what. You'll have another little babyyyyyy plus the band to help you lose after. Congrats again yay!!!

May I ask what pill you were taking?

Congratulations!!

And yes, I can totally relate to being scared about gaining weight. It is such a head game -- and I was nowhere near my goal when I got preg.

I can totally understand.....I had lost 80 lbs, had to have my band replaced due to slippage so i gained back 25...then got pregnant. I am sooo scared to lose. I have not lost a single freaking lb since my surgery which was in April. I am leaving my fill in at this point until I go to my first app in 2 weeks. What did your OB say about the band>>

[libra 13]

OB said everything should be fine as long as baby is getting proper nutrition. If it gets too tight I'll have to get an unfill.

Libra while I can fully understand the shock you must be in, I just wanted to extend my congrats to you and your family.

I think I too would be very concerned about weight, afterall we have concentrated so heavily on it for the last year +. I think my best advice at this point, is now that you know and have learned some proper eating habits, would be to avoid the scale as much as possible, and map out a healthy plan for you and a pregnancy. I know there are cravings even with out being pregnant that you will have to deal with, but if you know that you are eating healthy 97% of the time.....it seems it would go a long way to making the other 3% acceptable!

I know I am operating on an unfilled band, since my TT, and have been living by those attempted plans!!! So far so good.....

I agree, that what weight you gain, will be easily lost post pregnancy with the help of your band, and you will have a new cuddler as well!!!

Good Luck and congrats to you all.
