Re: My Body can handle it but can my brain?

Just keep telling yourself that this precious miracle God has blessed you

with is SOOOOOO worth anything you are going through. Pamper yourself. Take a

bubble bath, get a message, fill your mind with thoughts of *Sam*. What he'll

look like, things you want him to know and learn, start a journal to him. The

weight will come off again. I'm not trying to be rude in anyway at all, but

yes, I do think you're being selfish. 9 months is such a short time when you

think about it. What a precious gift you've been given to bring this baby into

the world. Cherish that! I have been totally infertile now for the last 4

years and have lost 3 pregnancies. I'd give just about anything to have an

expanding waistline full of *BABY* I'll be praying for you and your precious

son.

But the bad days are defiantly more frequent now.......what do I do?

How do I get through the next 8 weeks? How do I keep sane? And how do I

tell myself I can bounce back even when taking care of a newborn? Am I

just

selfish?

Those feeling are not uncommon. But I do think you should seek some

help because it could be a form of pregnancy depression. A good

therapist you can discuss your feelings with (and there is no such thing

as a bad feeling, they just are) can do a lot to help you not feel so

bad about having those feelings.

Missie- You are not alone. I was only 3 months post op when I got pregnant.

I had only dropped 80 pounds at the time. I lost another 20 durning the

first trimester and then I stopped losing. Then the mean scale started going in

the other direction. I am 25 weeks preggnant and after losing the first 20 I

am now up 6pounds. I know it is the baby and I know that most of it will drop

off after the baby comes. Youare so luck that you were so far out from

surgery. I was still trying to get my eating habits under control when I

started

having cravings. You should have no problems losing that weight after the

baby. Yes you will not be able to work out as aggressivly at first , but at

least

you will. I have got to be one of the laziest people I know and have to make

myself get up and do stuff. You are on the right track. And you are gonna

love that little bundle of yours.
