Overweight and TTC?

Question

Any bigger girls out there that haven’t had an issue TTC due to being overweight? My OBGYN told me I just needed to lose 15 pounds to make it easier and my regular doctor didn’t say anything about my weight. I’m 235,  5’5”. I’ve had blood tests done for everything and I’m completely healthy. Never had high blood pressure, thyroid problems, etc. I’m just a bigger girl. I’ve maintained the same weight for about 2 years. I plan on losing it anyways for summer, but I just want to know if anyone out there is pregnant and a thick girl too!

Answer

You can still get pregnant being overweight! 
It sometimes decreases some women's chances, but it's not impossible. Just try to get some exercise in and eat healthier. Even losing just 10% of your body weight can make a HUGE difference in your fertility, and also can decrease chances of complications once pregnancy occurs 
Good luck I hope you get your BFP!!

Answer

I'm about the same height and weight as you. I'm ttc #2. It's definitely possible to get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy. Don't worry about what others say. just try and be as healthy as you can and everything will work out. good luck Hun!!

Answer

You can get pregnant while that big, but for the health of yourself and any future baby, you shoild lose weight. Not only will your health in general improve, but being overweight while pregnant drastically increases the chances of having a child with deformities, health issues, behavioral issues, early infant death, and miscarriage risk.
