14 Months Out And 71/2 Weeks Pregnant!

[Mjv013 67]

After 17 years of tears and heartbreak, I am finally pregnant!!!!! I stopped taking BC at 13 months because it doesnt agree with me. Well... was pregnant weeks later! This is our first child and beyond excited!! Saw the Dr a week ago and measured 6 weeks. I am going back at 8 weeks to confirm gestational age and for a regular 8 week appt.

I currently have 10.5 cc's in at 14cc band. I am concerned I may have issues but the Dr said I should be just fine. We will keep a close eye on the development to be sure I am eating enough and the baby is growing. She said most women do fantastic with the band and is pleased I didnt run out and get unfilled. So far MS is so mild that I do not vomit. She said there really are only positives with pregnancy and the band. I have had no problems in the last 14 months so Im hoping it stays that way.

As for the baby... very very EXCITED!!!

Congrats! The good news with having a band is if they need to they can unfill it and let you enjoy the pregnancy then once the baby is here you can have it filled again.
