Lose weight ?

Question

Every time I go in for my yearly checkup the gynecologist always reminds me, that if I want to have anymore kids; I need to lose weight. I weigh 220# I'm 5'3. There are times I'm comfortable with my body, others not so much. Anyhow, it's really discouraging, because there are women heavier than me, that get pregnant without any issue.......I hate it my body is against me. I'm all for any woman being comfortable with who she is, I personally feel defeated 😖

Answer

The doctor told me the same because i use to be very overweight. Though im down 95lbs i have yet to bare a child but im still trying and i love how healthy i feel now. If you chose to lose weight, do it for yourself and for a good cause. Everyone is struggling, you are not alone :)

Answer

I hate to point out the obvious, your doctor is right. It's unhealthy to be that overweight! I'm not here to put you down but your comfortable because people don't actually like change. To lose weight you'd need to make some major changes and it's hard because you get comfortable with life. I included some pictures to give you some motivation. I don't have a picture of my mom but she was extremely overweight and went on weight watchers and lost a ton of weight. I'm not saying weight watchers is the answer, it's what ever works for you. But, you're not getting an younger and the older you, the more health issues you'll have with your weight!

Answer

Get a new doctor!

Answer

They'll always tell you to lose weight I weigh 140lbs I'm 5'3 and I feel quite comfortable with my weight I try eat healthier but I'm not going to lose weight when I know I'm healthy, I've also been trying to get pregnant for 4 years.

Answer

Having more adipose tissue increases your estrogen which causes health issues. Your doctor isn't saying it to mean but to inform you that losing weight will help you along the way! Don't get upset. That is their job to inform their patients.

Answer

I know it stings but it will greatly benefit you! Believe me! I never had any health issues before I got prego but late in my 2nd trimester I started having high blood pressure. By the time I was in labor I was stuck with a BP cuff from hell that would go off every 5 min, having to be on meds, even had to lay on my left side, had to get a catheter put in because they wouldn't let me get up and walk, and a lovely extended stay in the hospital. I'm 5'9 and started my pregnancy out at 200 (too high) but at delivery I was 250! I'm down to 220 now but I have a lot to do. Extra weight can be more of a bear than you might think. Best wishes to you.
