Now that I am preparing for a life of another human being inside me, I have never been more worried. I read so many articles online saying that obese women like myself are likely to have a baby born with (serious) defects-this scares me, a lot!

I know I cannot change my weight right now and all I could do is watch my weight, eat healthy and try to get all the vitamins my baby needs from fruits & veggies. What else can I do to reduce the risks of birth defects? I'd like to hear your advice.

Background: My BMI is over 30, I have PCOS, had 2 Miscarriages and now in my 3rd pregnancy taking progesterone suppositories on my 9th week. Please be nice, I'm hoping that my baby is a happy and healthy one.
