Obese and Pregnant

Jessica.Girard

Looking for some reassurance!

I have a BMI of 38, have been curvier my whole life but I carry my weight mainly in hips and thighs. Husband and I decided it was time to think about babies. Had my IUD removed beginning of the month and started tracking things. Got my period a couple days later right on time, and ovulated (tracked using clear blue) right on time. NEVER thought that it would happen the first month as it took my mom over 4 years of trying....but had this weird feeling the last week. Had some minor PMS symptoms and what I think was implantation spotting...this morning I took a test and got a vvvfl, but was distinct. Hubby could see it as well!

Although I’m excited, my fear of being overweight and pregnant t is creeping in. And to top it off I have subclinical hypothyroidism (already on medication)...

Just looking for anyone with a similar story or any one with words of encouragement 🤗
