I have my wonderful 9 year old step daughter living with me, and I am very scared about my first pregnancy alone. We just moved to Germany and unfortunately there are not alot of resources in the area that understand GB patients. If you don't mind Ill just get to it and list some questions.
1. Are there any unique issues to breastfeeding?
2. I still have loose stool, is that normal?
3. I dont seem to show at all below my bellybutton but am getting wider around it, it that strange?
4. I take the pre-natal vits but nothing else, do you reccomend anything else?
5. I had the laproscopic surgery, does the scar tissue affect your growing tummy before or after birth?
I really have so many more questions but didn't want to bombard you all at once. Thank you for any information or support you can provide, Cheers!

1. I breastfed bria for 13 months. Just make sure your getting your protein and ALL of your water.
2. I still have loose stool. You will be greatful for this if they decide to put you on iron supp.
3. Everyone's body is different
4. Take only what the OB or nutritionest tells you to. Some supplements are not good for the baby during pregnancy. They took me off the biotin and zinc while pregnant. I took just my multi and my calcium you NEED your calcium of your bones will suffer!
5. I had lap also and no problems with the growing tummy. Just be sure to get in 80-120 g of protein daily and water water water
I have 5 kids one born after my gastric bypass. if you have any questions ask away. I was only 2 1/2 months out when i got pregnant and I was 12 weeks before I found out, can you say denial? lol
