Pregnant and scared

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang,

Although I haven't posted in a while I am a daily reader of the

board and it has been a lifesaver for me and my diagnosis of a

pancreas divisum in '01. The past month has found me in and out of

the hospital with flare-ups and the news that I will be a mom for

the first time. Medications have been adjusted (dropped the

nortriptyline and switched to zoloft) but am able to stay on the

phenergan for nausea. I take dilaudid for pain but have cut back on

my own will, fearing the consequences. I still take enzymes daily

and try to take my prenatal vitamins but find they nauseate me

sometimes. My questions go to you women who have been able to

deliver and your stories of how you coped with attacks during

pregnancy. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I'm 38 and trying

to gain the needed weight. I got down to 121 on my 5'9 " frame, but

am creeping up to 123 since I got out this past tuesday. I enjoy

the chocolate ensure and try to drink them when I can. I am

possibly 9-10 weeks along with a scheduled ob/gyn appt next week.

Thanks for any info.
