6Months Prego!

It’s crazy how I sometimes completely forget I’m banded. Old eat habits have return…which included eating one large meal late in the day / no breakfast/ no protein shakes! Wow how pregnancy changes everything. Yes I’m pregnant! I didn’t plan for this but it happen. I only had about 2cc of fluid in my band before I found out I was pregnant. The first months were horrible…I had daily heart burn and I began to vomit often. I had never vomited prior to the pregnancy. I felt sick daily. So I went in and got 1cc removed. What a big difference. I’m about 6months pregnant and I have only gained about 3 pounds. The baby is doing well and so far she had been measuring age appropriately. I feel bad that I got pregnant so soon after my surgery which was in AUG 2011. But then again the timing was perfect. This will definitely be my last pregnancy “GOD” willing. And right after she is born I plan on getting a fill. So with the fill and nursing I plan on losing the 10 pounds I plan on gaining during this pregnancy. My nutrition so far has been great. I had a complete blood test at the beginning of the pregnancy all my levels was in the normal range. I feel great…It’s a shame that I’m reminded of my surgery only by these two nasty looking scars on my belly! I must say I do have a little pain in the port area. As the baby grows bigger and moves up my stomach I can feel the port pushing out. The area is tender but not bothersome. I will let you guys know how it feels in the later months. I plan on delivering vaginally with my favorite friend epidural.
