Just Cleared To Start Trying...

[Karen2012 36]

Yay! I'm pregnant! Just tested positive yesterday, I really can't believe it! Only two months off the pill and two years of trying before sleeve. This is a true blessing

First of all congrats!! How far are you out? and How many pounds did you loose? I will start TTC SOON

I'm 11 weeks now. I've lost 106lbs since surgery last November. I've only gained 1lb back so far, but also gained a couple inches in my waist! I'm showing so fast!! Is anytime else pregnant and look huge already???? I swear my belly is sticking out and I'm not even out of my first trimester yet!!!

Congrats on your success! That didn't take long at all.

I had a small bump by nine weeks and really do feel like I started to show much earlier this time around. Even being able to wear my normal pants (with a band) until well into the second trimester, I had a bump much earlier and was noticeably pregnant before the end of the first trimester.

Nowadays I can still wear a handful of pre-pregnancy shirts and dresses but there's no way I'm wearing anything but maternity pants at this point.

I piled on some weight very early on (hormones because we did a frozen embryo transfer) but have gained very slowly since that point. Actually, I'm finding that I go in bursts of gaining and losing and the scale might go +4 one month but -2 the next. As long as the baby keeps measuring spot on, I'm fine with all of that. And now that my appetite is diminished it is beyond clear to me that my sleeve is still there and still restricting my intake. I can hardly eat!

How's the acid treating you? I'm back on a PPI but still dealing with heartburn every once in a while.

Luckily I haven't had any acid reflux issues, got to hear the baby's heartbeat today. Yay! Strong and healthy, a little bummed I have to wait two more months to find out if I'm having a boy or girl though! The wait is going to kill me. Otherwise, I've been feeling much better, no dry heaving all day long anymore. Lol my only complaint is my moodiness, some days I feel like I can't control it. I just can't wait, still a long way to go, but I made it through my first trimester at least! Infirm though some days I felt like calling into bed and sleeping all day and night!!

He's here! My baby boy arrived yesterday healthy and happy!! I gained 40lbs all together with the pregnancy and my Dr. didn't seem a bit concerned about it. I'm not worried about getting back down to where I was weight wise, just excited about spending time with new little man!!

Congrats! I gained a similar amount (32 pregnant, 3 pounds on hormones prior) and the bulk of it fell off in just a few weeks. I'm still fighting those last four pounds but that's how it goes when you only have a few to lose!

I can't wait to see pictures (hint!!!) and I hope you have a smooth recovery. Enjoy him, they grow up way faster than I remember. Elisheva is already 16 weeks old and I swear I just had her yesterday.
