Listserve members,
I was wondering if anyone had experience with weight gain issues and
pregnancy. I am fairly certain my celiac disease onset came as a result of
my pregnancy. I had an unusual pregancy having gained less than 15 pounds.
Since I have had a weight problem my whole before this, I had been prepared
for the worst! My birth was complicated. I ended up with a c-section (I
don't really think my body was strong enough to push my baby out. He ended
up in intensive care with meconium aspiration).
I am worried about a cousin who I think has Celiac symptoms but refuses to
get tested. Her pregnancies are remarkably similiar. Limited weight gain (9
pounds now for this third child). She has had c-sections for both her
children and will have one for this third. Of course she has other symptoms
(anemia, thryoid problems, and has been diagnosed with irritable bowel
syndrome).
I just wondered if anyone has heard about this lack of weight gain issue with
undiagnosed celiacs? Any information would be most helpful.
Theresa
