WOW, What a blessing. You give me HOPE. I've had 3 miscarriages in 3 years.

I had WLS in Feb of this year and I am at goal. I'll be 42 in 4 months and

praying that God still has at least one more baby for us. Thank you for posting

and best wishes for this very special baby.

Blessings~

I am now 13 weeks pregnant. But the most surprising thing is that I am 46

and had been told that I would never be able to conceive again after a

stillbirth in 1996.

Take my word, WLS has created many miracles for me. I am a

grandmother (thanks to my 23 year old son) and will soon have a child

younger than my granddaughter. We believe that this child is a

miracle and that God has very special plans for him or her.

Hello -- first time post

I've been a member of this group for a few weeks but this is my first

post. I had RNY in August 2002 and I am now 13 weeks pregnant. But

the most surprising thing is that I am 46 and had been told that I

would never be able to conceive again after a stillbirth in 1996.

Take my word, WLS has created many miracles for me. I am a

grandmother (thanks to my 23 year old son) and will soon have a child

younger than my granddaughter. We believe that this child is a

miracle and that God has very special plans for him or her.

I have read most of the last 300 posts and see all kinds of questions

and fears. Here's a few things that I have dealt with already. The

gestational diabetes test. There are options. Don't let your doctor

bully you. If you can tolerate jelly beans they are one option to

the liquid stuff that makes us so sick. If you can't do the jelly

beans make them do the fasting test. Bleeding...I ble at 11 weeks

and of course thought the worst. Everything was fine and my baby is

healthy. Pain. After three pregnancies I feel safe in saying that

pain is not part of pregnancy.

Remember that sometimes we have to swap doctors (I'm on my third)

until we find the perfect one for us. Someone who listens to us

(especially since we have the added concern of WLS)and treats us like

a person. They work for us. Don't settle.

That's all for this first post. Good luck everyone and thanks for

being here.

I am glad that I am not the only one out here that will have grandchildren older

than my baby. My boyfriend has 3 children, 4 grandchildren and one more

grandchild on the way - due in March. Our baby is due in May. How about that! I

am 26 and he will be 51 next month. Sometimes things just work out that way. How

does your son feel about having a sibling younger than his child?
