Hello!

I am 5 years out of RNY - the only vitamin my doctor had me taking was a multi -vitamin and monitored my labs over the first year post op.  Everything was always in normal range, thus I never took anything more.  Since about 2 years post -op, my doctors practice broke up and everyone scattered to different practices.  When I went in for a checkup to the new place, I was told that I was considered a "new" patient, thus my insurance would not pay because it was not the same insurance from when I had the actual surgery.  I never went back. 

I have had physicals since then, as well as routine paps, and because of my history, a full blood screen has always been done.  No problems have ever shown, except for low iron, which I had pre-op. 

I am now 5 weeks pregnant, and I want to MAKE SURE my baby gets everything it needs.  Can anyone recommend what vitamins besides a prenatal I should be taking?  I can't get into see a doctor for 4 more weeks.  I may have not been taking the best care of myself (I have lost and kept off the weight) but I DO NOT want my baby to suffer in anyway.  It's not just me anymore. 

Please do not criticize me for my past faults,  Thanks!

 

I guess one of the perks of a "quick" labor is no chance for your make up to run! LOL

Thanks....we love our little sweetpea.

Thank You! We are so in love, including Emad....who is a very protective big brother.

I am not super worried about size, just kinda strange to not be told "this is gonna be a huge baby" my first was my smallest at 7lb 10oz, then I had two larger ones... 8lbs 11oz and 8lbs 16oz, so I'm just shocked for once! Lol

My largest fear is that my baby is breech! I was hoping for a natural delivery but my OB is not interested in that as an option! She is more of the we will schedule your C-section, then hope that baby will turn and we won't need that! Uh
