Can you get pregnant if you're petite?

Question

Hi, I'm pretty petite and my OB told me to gain some weight cause it might help with me conceiving. (Been trying for a year) Anyone have been told the same thing? I'm 100lbs for reference.

Answer

If you’re underweight, that can contribute to difficulty in getting pregnant. Discuss healthy ways to gain healthy weight with your doctor.

Answer

Yes you can get pregnant but it does help to have a little more weight on you. How tall are you ?

Answer

I was 97 lbs when I got pregnant with my daughter, had absolutely no issues getting pregnant with her or carrying her.

Answer

I’m a very slim girl (was a size 00 pre-baby) and I got pregnant after skipping a single birth control pill. Thankfully got some curves for the first time in my life after having a baby 😅. Anyways I think you have a better chance conceiving when you’re slim versus when you’re overweight

Answer

I was 5’5 and a whole 98 pounds no matter how much I ate and I got pregnant twice pretty easily. My son agin same height but 115. It’s gonna depends on your body personally.
