Pregnant and almost Full-Term



Recommended Posts

I haven't posted on here in ages. I'm one of those who've had a difficult road with my band and original surgeon.

I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant with my second child. I was banded in 2005. I thought some may want to hear about my pregnancy experience with the band.

My first pregnancy (without the band) I started out around 302lbs and ended up losing 40lbs due to daily nausea/vomiting. My daughter was born at 38 weeks via c-section due to hypertension and a failed induction. She weighed 7lbs, 2 ozs and is a healthy 4 year old.

This pregnancy I've had very little nausea and vomiting compared to my previous pregnancy. I've only "lost it" a couple times per month on average. My doctor gave me Phenergan to prevent it but I am unable to take it due to a seizure disorder I have. I take Benadryl if it gets real bad and it helps the nausea. I'm about 3 pounds under my starting weight at the beginning of this pregnancy. I'm constantly between 230 and 235. My OB has done growth scans on my daughter and she is consistantly measuring a week ahead on her growth. We are expecing another 7 pound baby.

My husband is also banded and he has gained the 30 pounds I was supposed to. :) We both have some work to do after Trinity is born.

I'm having a scheduled c-section on Feb. 12th so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Best of luck to everyone who is pregnant or TTC.

Wow . . . February 12th is right around the corner. Trinity is a lovely name as well.

It sounds like you are doing good on weight without really gaining or losing much either way. I have been doing the same - staying fairly static.

I also love the 3D scan picture :0). I have not been lucky enough to have one yet.

Congratulations and good luck!!! Please let us know how you are doing.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
