Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hey everyone...I tried looking through the FAQ, but could not find answers I was looking for...so I am hoping for your help... First a little info...last time I posted was last year when I was pregnant with my 3rd baby, first after WLS. I got pregnant 3 months post op. Everything went great..it was the best pregnancy yet. My nutrition levels stayed normal until the last couple weeks I developed slight anemia, so the baby was born with a little low iron, but he was healthy and so was I. I even loss close to 100lbs through out pregnant. Not being careful enough Dh and I got pregnant 3 months after our son was born, so I am now about 20 months Post Op and 25 weeks pregnant with baby number 4. This time I am having a hard time keeping my levels up. First I was suffering only low B-12 and Magnezium. I have been taking more frequent B-12 shots and three times a day magnezium.... My last appoinment 4 weeks ago showed my hemoglobin was now below normal, but not dramatically. Today they checked and it really dropped low, So i have started extra Iron pills.... I find it interesting that I am eating more and eating better then last year, but I am having more problems now. So I am looking for others who have had similar complications with nutrition levels and how things turned out. My concern is if I can not get my levels normal how the outcome will be. This will be my 4th c-section and I am of course concerned for the risk of hemoraging as well.... can anyone inlighten me on any information? Thanks Meghan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 dear meghan, while i can't help you from experience, i can tell you from listening to the medical field, that the complications may not be stemming from what you are doing right now. baby on top of baby, wether with GB or perfectly normal, is hard on the body. you didn't have much time to replenish your body after your son, and so now it's cathcing up with you. i can't tell you what to do, except take your supplements, try to eat well, eat small and often and drink lots of water, and i'll keep you in my prayers. keep us posted on your progress and pregnancy, as i am in your same boat (2 months post op and got pregnant and WANT to get pregnant soon after this one is born). good luck! aka mom2ben99 (jennilee75@...)
