kokokitty,
I was 262 when I got pregnant with my first child. I didn't have to take any special meds or anything. I did test postive for gestational diabetes so I was on a restrictive diet and had to prick my finger and keep a record of my blood sugar several times a day. My second pregnancy was for twins and I was around the same weight when I got pregnant for them. When I finally delivered at 37 weeks I was nearly 300 pounds. Suprisingly enough I didn't have gestational diabetes with the twins. From my understanding the diabetes is more prominent in overweight women and especially with mulitples. Anything is possible. You would be amazed at the human body is capable of....LOL...As far as the fetus goes the only thing that would be different is the fact that there isn't as much room in the womb when you are over weight. Of course it is healthier for you and the baby if you were at your ideal weight but the nothing is perfect ya know?

I too was about 260 when I got pregnant and I was fine as was my son. I was lucky and did not have to deal with diabetes but my friends coworker did hand her baby was an emergancy csection because she got so big due to it, so I heard.I have also heard there is a higher risk of miscarrage if you are overweight. But in my experiance all went well...aside from gaining 60 lbs...........big bummer :( My blood pressure was also very normal throughout the entire thing. I was pretty lucky, and...funny tidbit...my son is a tall skinny little boy. Am I sure he's my son? haha. Anyways, my pregnancy was unplanned, if you are thinking of this and you are worried maybe talk to your Dr about it? Hope some of this helps. :)

I was 208 when I got pregnant. I gained 26lbs and due to something completely unrelated, I had to deliver at 33 weeks...so Im sure I would have gained more if I had gone full-term. I also got gestational diabetes but anyone can get that. My friend, who is like 100lbs soaking wet, got it. I actually LOVED my baby belly while I was pregnant because I FINALLY had an excuse to have a huge belly and show it off!!! I was so proud of that bump!!! It is def healthier for you and baby to not be overweight but it happens. My OB never mentioned my weight EVER....he really made me feel comfortable. If you are really concerned then I would talk to your dr about it.

i was 21yrs old, 5'7", and 248lbs when i got pregnant with my son. i gained almost 70lbs but was completely healthy throughout. i delivered at 40wks (plus a few days lol) and my son was healthy (apgar scores were perfect), he was average weight and length. and oddly, 50lbs of that weight was gone before i got discharged. to this day, my son is the skinniest person in our family...even after 10 yrs. i need a lil help of my own though. my fiance and i have been trying for the past 15mths to get pregnant. we are both considered morbidly obese. has anyone heard of this fact causing conception issues? and does anyone have any advice? if i have to fake happiness for one more friend/family member (to date there have been 5) finding out they're pregnant i'm going to lose my mind
