Hi all,

I’m 5 weeks pregnant after using Clomid while seeing a fertility specialist. I am overweight 5 ft 5 and 115 kg (Approx, I haven’t weight myself in a few months) and have PCOS which makes it super hard to lose weight. I am very active and do lots of walking and gym classes. I am a vegetarian and we eat healthy meals (most of the time).

Long story short, I am quite an anxious person and today have slipped into heaps of articles about all the dangers of weight.

I have tried to lose weight my entire life! My first diet was at 6 years old and I think I’ve given all the diets a go. I lose weight, it comes back, I plateau etc etc. Recently, I’m trying to embrace the “intuitive eating” movement and doing exercise because I love my body not because I hate it. It’s been fantastic! And I feel better physically and mentally. I am eating extremely healthy since I found out about bubs & making sure I am getting all the vitamins she needs.

BUT... I’m obviously still fat and now pregnant (while having pcos). So, can people please post their positive pregnancy stories when in a similar situation?
