Congratulations Allison!

As far as being on induction - what's done is done Allison - please try not to worry about it. You were likely eating some of the best foods you could possibly eat because you were eating Atkins style! (Especially like broccoli with all it's folate, etc.!)

I remember when I found out I was expecting it was right after I'd had numerous nights of drinking way too much alcohol and I was so scared! The nurse tried to tell me not to worry about it, but I can tell you it was on my mind the whole time! But my daughter was perfect thank God.

Both Dr. Atkin's book and this board do recommend moving straight to maintenance level until after your baby is born and you're done nursing.

I'm sorry but I don't know if you'll gain back the weight you've lost because of moving to that phase, but you will of course gain a few pounds every month. Have you been to the doctor yet? They should give you some great info on what to expect.
