Reply to "First time pregnancy"

Congratulations!! I'm pregnant with my third (all post-j-pouch) and also 32 :-) So far my pregnancies have been pretty smooth with no complications and no issues with the pouch. Interestingly, I was talking to my physical therapist the other day about why I always seem to be slow to "show" in my pregnancies, and we thought it might have to do with the lack of colon. I certainly feel very pregnant (21 weeks now) in that I feel the pressure on my internal organs, but my belly is very low and, compared to an average 21-weeker, probably smaller. We think that without the colon, the baby is fitting very snuggly deep in my pelvis, so my belly doesn't have to protrude as much yet. Aside from some extra pelvic floor discomfort, it's not really an issue. Just thought it was interesting! I wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

Happy to chat if you have any questions or just want to talk about pregnancy with a j-pouch. Best of luck, and hope you're feeling well!
