Unexpected Pregancy

[onmyway 0]

Hi everyone! Oops - we're pregnant! I was banded in February and was cruising right along with my weight loss and just found out I'm expecting. Doesn't take much for us to get pregnant - just one time when my husband's too lazy to go to get them out of the drawer and that's it. You think we would have learned by now 4 pregnancies later!! Just goes to show they are gifts from God. I did want one more baby - but wanted to lose a lot more weight first. However, I am very happy and am looking forward to not gaining 80 pounds with this pregnancy as I did with the other two. I did go through a miscarriage last July - so please say a prayer for me that this pregnancy will be fine. I'm due right around the date that I had my surgery - late February! The band is doing it's job already because by this point in my previous pregnancies I had gained about 10 pounds by now. I haven't gained anything yet. Any advice would be appreciated by anyone who has had a band baby!

Thanks!

Jeanette

Congratulations! You are absolutely right about children being gifts from God! I will pray that you have a full term pregnancy. Please keep us posted on your condition.

Congratulations. Babies are gifts from God. I saw my step-grandson (2 weeks old) today & called myself Mommy to him instead of Grandma. Oops. But I love that feeling and I pray everthing will go well for you.

Good for you!!! Well done! Children ARE a gift from God. What an exciting time! Remember, now is not the time to diet, so make sure you gain SOME weight! Okay, maybe not 80 pounds! I hope you will allow us to follow you through your pregnancy and keep us posted throughout. There are lots of great pray-ers here on LBT, so you will be up on our list! God Bless you!!!

that gives me hope! my dr. said he wanted me to wait a year and half to get pregnant! I don't want to wait a year and a half but I also don't want to hurt my band.

I'm anxious to see how you do!

congrats!
