Hi,
I'm 5'5" and 308lbs, i don't have any major health problems, just problems with my back and knees. My blood pressure is fine. Has anyone on here at this weight or more, got pregnant?
Myself and my wife desperately want a baby. My wife was going to go down that route, but is now having big health problems herself and we've had to put it on hold. The only reason she was going to do it, was because of my weight. But i'm now thinking about going down the route. Just wondering if anyone else has done this and whether you had any problems.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
However, I am now having problems conceiving my 2nd child - I was 292 this morning, have been down to about 250lbs and up to 306lbs but no joy (just 6 early miscarriages).
I have an appointment at the end of Nov to see a fertility consultant, but I know that there's a good chance that my size s playing a part in this, as there are proven links between fertility issues/recurrent miscarriage/and complications during pregnancy associated with obesity.
I'm not trying to put you off hun, but what I'm saying is, size affects some people but not others when it comes to having a baby...you just can't tell until you try.
Good Luck with it hun!
