Anyone else? 26w preggo



Recommended Posts

Hi guys :) I found this board through a google search.. and I'm so glad I did. I hope you have some advice to share! :(

I am almost 3 years post op and 26w pregnant. I found in the beginning, I had slight morning sickness, but nothing too difficult to manage. Lately, however, I have found that I can't keep anything down! It's not nausea so much-- it just comes right back up. I'm wondering if anyone else had this happen? I watch what and how much I eat.. very small portions frequently through the day, but lately it doesn't matter.

I had an appointment this morning and lost 2 pounds since my last appointment, putting me at only 9 pounds gained in 26 weeks. I got lectured about it, but I don't know what else to do. The baby is measuring right on target and my fundal height is even measuring 3 weeks "ahead." I'm just so concerned she's not getting the right nutrients from me ...not to mention puking 3 times a day is so frustrating..

Before I got pregnant, I was pretty much at my goal weight for over 2 years... and managed it well.. hardly puked, etc. :(

There is a Veterans forum that may be of more help. I am sorry this is happening to you. I hope that soon this will pass and you will deliver a wonderful healthy baby.

I would see if you can go to a clinical center of excellence and see a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, especially one who can do a consult with the bariatric and/or GI departments. Hope you feel better soon, and congratulations on your pregnancy.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
