Answer

From someone who had a plus sized pregnancy, it's not fun! I think you should definitely consider getting healthy before pregnancy. Don't focus on losing weight, but get into habits of eating healthy and staying active because it will make a world of difference to how you feel during the pregnancy. I was 220 when I got pregnant and finished around 270/80. I had gestational diabetes, and could barely walk because of all the swelling and pain from being so heavy. Labour is a marathon and you need to have the stamina and flexability to get through. Because of my obesity, diet choices, and immobility, I ended up with a c section, and then infection because of all the fat hanging over my incision, so the complications were brutal. (I won't go too deep into that, but it was incredibly painful). Men are insensitive, and don't always know how to word things properly, but perhaps he's just concerned about yours and your future baby's health. At 250 lbs, you don't have those healthy habits and your weight isn't on your side for a healthy pregnancy. Try cleaning up your diet a bit. Try to eat how you'd want to eat during pregnancy. (Twice as healthy, not twice as much) and develop some excercise habits. Walking is a great start, and there's tons you can do at home like lunges, squats, planks, pushups, leg lifts, ect. A little goes a long way and will help your chances in getting pregnant and reduce your risks for pregnancy complications down the road too! Things like geststional diabetes, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, ect are much more prevalent in obese women, so do what you can now to benefit your future baby. 😊

Answer

The doctors want you to hav a BMI of 42 or less otherwise the infertility clinic will not start you on any treatment.

Answer

My husband was concerned not because of my weight but because I was not very active and I got winded from just one flight of stairs.
Last August I started at 260, I went to the gym only a couple times a week, but I made better eating habits that fit my lifestyle. It’s still not perfect by far, and I need to get back to being active (been away from the gym for a month). But because of my better eating habits...I am 230 now, and have been for 2 months now. When I go back to the gym I know my weight will go down more.
We have been tcc since June ‘17 with one MC during that time. It didn’t stop me from staying active and striving to be healthier.
But I was mostly concerned that if I didn’t loose weight that I would end up having complications during pregnancy and labor/birth.
So that is my goal and my motivation to “loose weight” aka become healthier to prevent complications when it does finally happen for us.

Answer

My husband doesn't care about my weight, it's my health he's concerned about. I can't even go up a flight of stairs without getting winded so I want to work on that... plus, when you have a baby he/she is only immobile for a few months then they're up and walking around and it will be soo much harder to run after babies being so unhealthy with more weight! Focus on healthy choices and the rest will fall into place!

Answer

I was 220 with my first pregnancy. had no problems except near the end I had some feet swelling. Not even braxton hix. my water broke almost 2 weeks early (the night of our hospital tour) every body is different. every pregnancy is different.. what is hard for some will be easy for others. one pregnancy may be cakewalk the other may make your 9 months into misery. use your best judgement and convey all your concerns with your hubby. it should be a mutual decision with whatever you choose to do with your family.
