Do I weigh too much?

Question

I'm worried I weigh too much to get pregnant. I'm 5'4 and weigh 186, my doctor said in "considered obese"  Should I try to lose weight before I get pregnant or has anyone my size or bigger had a healthy pregnancy?

Answer

I'm 5'7 and was at about 250 when we conceived. We only tried for 2 months. I'd say if your a generally healthy  person you should be fine.

Answer

I'd lose the weight first. I'm the same height as you and I'm 14 lbs heavier than you. And I want to lose at least 40 lbs before me and my bf even think about having kids.

I'm not happy with my weight but I can't imagine gaining like 20-25 lbs on tops of the weight I already have 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Answer

Losing weight first will make your pregnancy much easier and better for both of you.

Answer

I had a friend that was around 400lbs and she has been pregnant twice so far. Weight doesn't matter unless you have pcos or a medical condition like that.

Answer

Im 5"4 I was 190 before I got pregnant this time I didn't gain much weight. Nothing is wrong and I'm almost 39 weeks baby and I been doing good.

Answer

I'm kind of in the same boat. My doc said I was "healthy but overweight"...all of my blood tests and such are normal but I'm obviously heavy. I'm having some trouble conceiving and am skeptical that it's because I'm overweight. My first three pregnancies happened when I was about 70-80 lbs lighter. My husband says it's just not the right time....but it's always been so easy for us in the past.

Answer

Overweight women can get pregnant but loosing weight will only help!! Even if its just 5-10lbs, fertility can be affected by weight. Dont stress to much over it but try to introduce healthy habits into your routine to help you and your future baby! ☺

Answer

I used to weigh 270 after my second pregnancy I didn't get pregnant for 3 almost 4 years then when I lost 70+ pounds bam your pregnant! 😄 loosing a few pounds may help but it shouldn't cause you to not get pregnant!

Answer

I lost almost a stone at the start of the year although I'm still just in the obese bracket - I was hoping to lose more weight than that because I'm worried about the weight gain during pregnancy but can't do anything about it now I'm 4 weeks pregnant! As others have said, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Answer

5 4 too.  Not being mean health reasons get that weight down I'm at 200. Looking forward to seeing 180. Ultimately 150.
