Hello

My name is I am 36 and we are about 12 weeks pregnant I think a

little less but my doctor says 12 weeks seems about right to her.

I had WLS 04/03 and Back surgery 05/03 all last year. I was not able

to get pregnant the last 4 years we have tried and suddenly after

going through fertility testing since May 2004 we became pregnant

after giving up and deciding to wait util our new fertility doctor

helps us out on Sept 30, 2004. Well we did not need to go see her as

some time after July 22 (first day of my last period) we became " with

child " on our own!!! Maybe the " giving up " and all the no stress

worked.

I came down with 2 kidney stones and was hospitalized 3 diferent

times in September for them until they passed. Since I have had 15

surgeries since a drunk driver hit me in 1993 (spinal cord, neck.

WLS, and back surgery) was all done 2002-2003 and since getting

stones and testing high in sugar this Friday I was now sent to a new

high risk doctor for next weeks appt. till until I deliver.

I was taken off all medicines and all vitamins. Except for my

foltrin, fintstones and my prenatel vitmins.

I am in alot of pain since coming off my pain meds for my back neck

and spinal cord. They are sending me to a pain clinic to teach me how

to use my tens unit, and to get me a brace to keep the future baby

weight off my back.

I have seen a nutrionist every 3 weeks since July of this year and I

have lost 14 pounds since becomng pregnant due to afternoon sickness.

Has anyone been over a year out and lost this much in there first

three months due to being sick? She has me on 6 small meals a day

including snaks. I try to eat a lot of chicken, fruit, raw veggies as

those things will stay down. All dairy curdles in my pouch and comes

up minutes later. No food looks good or tastes good to me as I have

this metal taste in my mouth 24 hours a day that will not go away.

Any good advice would be welcomed!!!
