was anyone else nervous about going to the doctor because of their weight and being pregnant?.. when I had my daughter 18 months ago I had preeclampsia. I'm pretty sure it was a blood pressure issue brought on by the stress in my life at the time, not necessarily a weight issue. I've never had blood pressure issues in my life and still don't. At my postpartum check up my doctor discussed with me how when I go to have another child that it would help if I didn't start out quite as heavy.. well it's been a rough year and not only have I not lost without I've gained about 10-15 pounds.. I'm honestly nervous about going in to the doctor because he specifically told me I should try to lose weight before getting pregnant..
