Re: Disagreeing with OBGYN on pregnancy nutrition

[Guest guest]

I also threatened to deliver my babies uphill. I just dragged a chair into

the bathroom & spent the day there, until so weak I had to lie on the floor.

Didn't matter if I ate or not. Couldn't watch TV, as the commercials would

trigger another wave.

Of course, in the dark ages, it was all imaginary, so there was no treatment

or being hydrated. I'm absolutely astounded that I delivered healthy

babies.

I know I had not had WLS, of course, but being able to take in NOTHING by

mouth, I was in the same situation. By the 90's,. a girl in my church had 3

pregnancies like mine. They simply popped her into the hospital where she

worked (as an RN) and hydrated her for 3 months. Miserable, but she &

babies survived.
