anyone get preg when they were a little too overweight?

[Bellas_mummy]

Hi everyone,

Is there anyone out there that has got pregnant when they are carring a little too much extra weight? I am completely healthy except a little too big at the moment and i am worried it will prevent me from getting my:bfp: , and that fact that my mother tells me i wont get preg doesnt help.

I would love to hear anyones inspirational stories, i know it is different for everyone.

Cheers

I have fallen pregnant 4 times and it was only the last 2 pregnancies that were successful and these were both during a time where I am overweight. To be quite honest I wouldn't think being "a little overweight" would make too much of a difference in most cases but putting too much pressure on yourself when TTC can cause problems

I am 90kg and my FS has said nothing to me......I asked and she said it doesn't really matter because I am doing IVF......but I do know what you mean I too get a bit worried about it....I am in the same boat as you as I feel very healthy but am a bit overweight, but I have put on about 15kg with my fertility drugs I have been on, so when I started ttc I was around 75kg to 80kg......

I was about 90kgs when I fell pregnant with my DD and about the same when I fell pregnant in Jan this year, but M/C'd. I am constantly being told, by doctors/specialists etc., to lose weight as it can affect my chances of having a child. Eating healthy foods, exercising and losing weight will all increase my chances apparently :fingerscrossed:. So that's what I'm trying to do and hopefully soon I'll get a :bfp: :yelclap: .

I was overweight when I got preg - first cycle. It is best to be a healthy weight but still very doable :) good luck with ttc

I was 83kg when I fell pregnant, it took us 9 months, but it happened lol.

[EmsMum72]

One thing I must add is that when drs/specialists etc continually tell me that losing weight will increase my chances :ecomcity: :ecomcity: , it is really frustrating seeing women who are alot larger than I am pregnant. My DD does swimming with a little boy and his mum is extremely large (I would think about 130kgs??). Anyway, we were having lessons a couple of weeks ago and the teacher said 'oh ange musn't be here today - maybe she has bad morning sickness' and I thought WTF? How can SHE be pregnant, I'm having trouble getting pregnant and she's alot larger than I am :confused: . I also have a friend who is 120kgs and she conceived straight away with her 2 DD's. I know it's not the case, but sometimes I think, am I the only overweight person who is having trouble conceiving and maintaining a pregnancy?? Gggrrrrr, so frustrating.

emsmum72, i know exactly what ur talking about and i get quite upset when i see a extremly large ladies with babies and me being 90kg and constantly getting told to lose weight really annoys me. I know a few larger ladies that have no trouble at all getting pregnant.
Im just one of the few that havent had that luck yet.

[EmsMum72]

It's so annoying isn't it Dubba? Guess it just goes to show that we are all so different, and what can be difficult for one person is not so difficult for another. I must admit that I fell pregnant the 1st time 6 months after losing 12kgs so obviously for me it helped?? BUT, I do think that was because I was eating alot healthier, and cut out all the c**p I used to eat - eating healthy food is more the key I think, as I know first hand women much larger than me are capable of falling pregnant. Goodluck to everyone :fingerscrossed: . Let's prove those drs who constantly tell us to lose weight wrong, LOL, and get some :bfp: 's happening.

Hi everyone, thanks for all thoses positive results. You are not going to believe this but i just did three preg tests and they all came back:bfp: !!!!!!

As this is my first time i want to be soooo happy, but i still want to hear if from my Dr. What are the chances, i guess i am preg???

Anyway i am so excited!!!

Good luck to everyone, i guess i just proved the theory :smiliedance: .

[EmsMum72]

Congrats ttcin, that's fantastic news :yelclap: . Good on you for proving the theory. I'm sure your BFP's are accurate, and the dr will confirm that you are pregnant. Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy, and I wish you all the luck in the world. :hugs:

Wow what a great turn in a thread congratulations!
I am extremley overweight and my FS told me that I could weigh 3 stone ro 33 stone and still not ovulate. Obviously there might be a strain on my body being heavier but still does not mean I cant fall pregnant..if I dont ovulate I dont ovulate.
