I don't know what to do. I am going in today to get all my Fluid out. I just found out I was preg this week and that makes me probably 4 weeks- I am super paranoid that I did not get in enough nutrition during the crucial process. How does it all work??? I had no idea that they start counting 2 weeks before. I am really distressed.

here's my timeline

Sept. 11 got stuck

Sept.12 tried eating next day and it came back up

baby danced Sept.11-13

must have ovulated Sept. 13 and that day I felt like I was coming down with something

Sept.15 throat hurt so bad and family dr. said it was viral and nothing I could do but rest, lots of mucus

Sept.18 had fever of 99 and headache and went back to dr. and took tylenol and nose spray

Sept.19-20 rested more, turned into full blown cold

couldn't get anything down

Sept. 22 got .5 removed and started eating like there was no tomorrow

Sept.28 found out I was preg

today- getting unfilled

so basically from the 13th-22nd I am not sure if my nutrition was good.

ok back from dr. nurse took all my fluid and said that the baby lives off the mother's fat and everything should be fine and now I know what I need to do

Hope all goes well for you. I am now 15 weeks pg and have 6cc in a 10 cc band. I have not yet had an unfill. I was tight in the early weeks and now everything seems ok. The Dr does not want me to get an unfill unless absolutely needed. they said I may not need an unfill at all. I dunno, guess I just have to wait and see how it goes.

My friend delivered her band baby on Sept. 15th. She kept her fill the entire time and the baby was 7lb 7oz. Talk to your ob/gyn. It depends on how much they want you to get in each day and what your diet consists of. If you can not get in good quality food, then you should probably get an unfill and stay unfilled.

Hang in there! Baby takes what baby needs, so even if your nutrition was off for a bit, you're probably JUST FINE. No, it's not good to starve for the duration of a pregnancy, but a couple weeks of low intake is NOT going to hurt you in the long run.

I agree with those who said to talk to you doc--I'm not planning to get an unfill unless and until I need one later in pregnancy.

Good luck to you!
