Anyone extremely over weight?

Question

I am extremely over weight and just found out I'm pregnant with my third child. Me and my husband had planned to have another child but not until I finished my weight loss plans. I'm so terrified of what my doctor is gonna say and at the fact I have to have a c section just want someone to talk to that's in the same boat I am.

Answer

I'm very overweight around 270lbs... FTM but currently 39 weeks .. I was extremely scared about my weight but my midwife has been lovely I've had no complications and my weight has barely been mentioned and except for being told that women with higher bmi's are more likely to need a c section, I wasn't  told or adviced to have one .. Idk how my labour will go but so far everything has been normal

Answer

Me! I've actually lost 8 pounds in the past 3 weeks just from eating healthier and walking 45-60 min 5-6 days a week. I still feel like a whale but I know I'm being healthier for me and baby! If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here! ❤️

Answer

I'm 335 and 40 weeks pregnant I gained 31 lbs total and I have not had any problems with my dr. He told me he didn't want me to have a c section because it would have trouble healing ( the apron of skin/fat would hang over) I am due tomorrow

Answer

I'm so worried about that too- but when I had a miscarriage a few months ago, nothing was said about my weight.

We are TTC again, and I'm 5'10. 425lbs. I'm curious about it too, but I'm in good health. So we shall see what happens?  I'm clueless.

Answer

I was 285 when we found out we were expecting.  I have gained 27 as of two weeks ago and my doctors have been amazing!!  My weight does not seem to be a concern, I  have not had any health problems and there has yet to be any mention of a c section.

Answer

I am. I was 312 when I found out I was pregnant after not having had a period in over 6 months. The first Dr I went to refused to see me as a patient due to my weight and sent me to the ER...the second Dr told me that I should have a D&C, lose 100 lbs, then try again. Needless to say I'm 24 weeks along today and my husband attends every appointment with me to ensure no one says anything upsetting or hurtful. 
I also have to have a csection - this will be my 4th and I'm absolutely terrified.

Answer

I'm VERY overweight , 320 lbs. Why do you have to have a c section? My doctor wasn't concerned about my weight as long as I didn't gain more than 10-15 lbs.

Answer

Why do you have to have a c-section?

Answer

Yea I'm large but no health issues otherwise no high blood pressure no diabetes just nervous about the c-section

Answer

I am obsessed but weirdly I'm very healthy which my Drs are amazed by and I'm tall too.. I have early signs of preeclampsia best thing you can do while pregnant for your sake is drink a lot of water no sodas or sugars eat healthy but bulky enough for baby to gain weight..
Hell I eat but I hate it and my son takes everything from me... Seriously gonna be a 7pd boy and we will have him as early as 36 weeks.. And I'm almost 28 now.. Honestly can't wait till he's out I lost 28pds before I got pregnant and his little swimmers were too strong and yup little man was here.. Gotta love it.. 
But walk walk walk drink lots of fluids and fruit and healthy foods you wanna gain 10-15pds but not a lot I've gained 7 so far.. Good luck
