Anyone overweight and pregnant?

Question

Should I be worried? My BMI is 35. I am eating healthy now I know I am pregnant but just wondered if there are any others feeling the same way?

Answer

My Bmi is 39. I have had a very smooth, healthy pregnancy. No gestational diabetes or any complications. Second pregnancy for me and it has been as wonderful as my first one. Weight is not always indicative of pregnancy complications. I have gained 20 lbs and I am 34 weeks. I gained more than I wanted to but believe it or not I feel great! I should add that my baby is on target to be average size, my first born was 8 lbs 3 oz at birth. 
Good luck Mama!

Answer

Answer

I started off my pregnancy 122kg Im 176cm tall. I was told only allowed to put on 3-5kg during my pregnancy. Due to severe morning sickness Im at 37weeks and have lost 16kg to date.

Answer

I am, my BMI is higher and everything has been good! I don’t have high blood pressure or gestational diabetes . Little baby is doing great only have 10 more weeks left .

Answer

I wouldn’t “worry” but you’re doing the right thing- focus on healthy foods, get daily exercise (at least walks) for 30 min plus and day and track your food so you don’t gain unnecessary weight that wont be beneficial and will aide potential further complications. Most overweight BMI pregnancies can even safely lose, especially due to diet and exercise in first trimester and beyond or just maintain weight all together through second trimester and gain 5lbs or so in 3rd. I started at a 28 BMI and was already low carb and very active, which I have continued and have only gained 2lbs at 27 weeks. Baby is doing great, and doctor is happy about my weight.
You may have extra appointments or ultrasounds to monitor the baby and an earlier check for gestational diabetes but overall I wouldn’t be worried, just focus on healthy activities and you’ll do great.

Answer

I was 270 when I got pregnant with my son and had no complications. I’m now 23 weeks with twins and started the pregnancy at 300. I’m concerned how this pregnancy will go, but so far everything is normal.
