banded 7/12--and yesterday discovered I am pregnant

anyone else been in this situation? I am pregnant--I spent most of my morning crying yesterday. (we spent over a year actually trying--and just when I decide that I want to wait until I get more (read all) of my weight off before getting pregnant to have our third child--you guessed it--I am pregnant! So--my conclusion is to relax--this is going to be my last pregnancy--so I am going to let hubby pamper me. I am going to enjoy every minute of it! I am not *emphatic* NOT going to gain 70 lbs--I am going to let my band continue to do its job of helping me not eat a ton. I am going to use this tool. I am not going to freak out and start eating everything in sight--I am going to eat nutritious, fun, healthy foods and enjoy them. I am going to have a healthy fun pregnancy! And then I am going to finish my journey to get to goal!

Any comments are welcome--

Congratulations!!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy nine months!

Wow, That Is Really A Blessing Enjoy It Since You Said It Will Be Your Last One. Good Luck.

Shrina,

That's great news! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I was banded in March 2005 and still have quite a bit of weight to lose, and I too am expecting a little one. My husband and I tried for almost a year before I was banded, then decided we'd wait so I could take my band journey.

I am 13 weeks now, and for the first 10 weeks I'd say I lost about 20lbs (I didn't know I was pregnant). Now I've had my doc take some fill out of the band and I am neither gaining nor losing weight. I'm really watching what I eat and getting in plenty of exercise and Water. I have to admit that I am worried about gaining weight, even though it is normal for pregnancy, I've just been in weight loss mode for so long now that seeing the scale not moving kindof irritates me, but I know it's for a good reason.

Congrats again! Feel free to contact me if you want to compare notes!

Please tell me you weren't on birth control. I am extremely afraid of getting more fertile and becoming pregnant again (I have a 14 month old)

If you wern't trying but 'doing it alot' you'll have a girl, I'm guessing you want a boy cause you already have 2 beautiful girls!

Shirina your husband is a doll (I've met him) he has such a low back, kind, caring personality, enjoy being with child.

Last we talked, you have a snug fill, don't worry about weight gain at this point as long as you don't eat for 5 like I did. All I ever wanted to do while being preggy was eat and sleep, and that's hard with 2 kids under 5.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

Corinne congrats too My guess is July 11 (my birthday)!
