Hi,

I haven't been on the boards here in years either.  I'm having baby #3 (I m/c'd baby #1), 37 & (not married), my boyfriend is 38 with a 4 1/2yr daughter (conceived 3 months post surgery); living with my Mom.  Things are working out very well though...

1. Each pregnancy is different.  I really didn't noticed any symptoms with my DD but I do with this one.  I don't really have any morning/evening sickness at first but then had 'spells' of dry heaves till about 13wks. 

2.  Yes, safe post op.... generally the farther out the better but I can't talk. 

3. Yes, I'm afraid of gaining the weight but I think the majority of us are seeing what we have all done to get to this point.  As of right now (about  4 1/2 months along), I have done nothing but lose weight.  I have lost about 10 - 15lbs and I'm not trying.  It was just one of those things.  While I could definitely use the weight loss (I have gained about 20 lbs back since surgery), this isn't how I planned it.  My eating isn't the best but could be worse.  So far the baby is weighing right on track and everything appears normal.

4. Yes, as I mentioned before... I'm 37 and my boyfriends is 38.  'Both' of my babies were unexpected gifts and I wouldn't change that for anything.  I love them no less than if I was trying for years.  I believe that there are a few ladies here either close to 35 or over.  This is definitely going to be interesting for the family but I have to believe that things will work out for the best. 

Take care and Congratulations!!!
