Pregnancy Question - I'm 31 weeks

[Guest guest]

I haven't posted in awhile we were hit by all the Hurricanes in

Florida, no electric etc for week after week, and with all thats

been going on - I am just getting my life back to normal.

My question - I am pregnant 31 weeks, they will be doing a C-section

at 39 weeks, my baby is still measuring small. The doctor said not

to worry. Most people couldn't even tell till recently I was

pregnant. YOu can now for sure because it is all in front. I feel

good, the only major problem is indigestion. It has been horrible.

What I would really like to know is if anybody who has had their

child already, had a large baby after the WLS. My baby is very

active and I have had all the tests - nothing is wrong so far. I

just get a worried feeling about this baby coming early, or being to

small. I eat as well as I can - take all my vitamins. I would like

to know how others faired and if any of you made it to term, or were

your babies born early or born at a low birth weight, etc. Just to

get an idea. Also anything I should be concerned with or watch for

as I near the end. You know signs! It has been 10 years since my

first and I am so much smaller now, it is a totally different

experience. Thanks Ladies.

Thanks

post WLS baby was 36 weeks and weighed 6z# 9oz and was 19 1/8 inch long.

Pre WLS baby @ 315# was 8# 11oz.

If 2nd baby had gone to term, he'd have been just about the same I think,

My Pre WLS baby was 3 lbs 11 oz... born at 31 weeks... so that doesn't

really count ... LOL

My POST WLS baby was delivered at 37.5 weeks at 6 lbs 7 oz

and 19.5 inches long.

Had I gone to 40 weeks... Jonah would have been just over 7 lbs.

I myself was a 6 lb baby. Some of my sisters were 6 lber's as well.

Don't forget.. I am ONLY 5' tall and hubby is 5'7. (really 5'6.. but he

swears it's 5'7) so I wouldn't be having the huge babies..

For the record.. I ate like a piggy my entire pregnancy... all good foods..

ate every few hours... (shh.. did eat some icecream and a few snickers bars )
