Hello there
I am usually on the weight loss chat room as I am dieting at the moment as I am trying for a baby.

My question is this - I am overweight at the moment by 6 stone, do you think this makes it impossible for me to get pregnant?

thanks
MD

Hey MD, I was prob 5 stone overweight and fell pregnant the third month of proper trying. I am 19+3 with my first baby today. Weight can be associated with some hormonal upset but isn't ususally.
Good luck TTC!

Hi MD

I fell pg with my last pg within 2 months and I was over weight.

I lost quite a bit of weight after that pg but my BMI was still around 33-35 when I fell pg this time, I'm now 15 +3.( baby no.4)

Its not impossible, but I am trying to eat healthily this time as I really want to lose the weight after having baby this time

Good luck and I hope you fall pg really soon.

lov
maybe

Im overweight and fell pregnant in my second month, my GP told me i would have to lose weight to fall on but still did. Im on baby no 3 and was overweight for 2 of those.

Like i say overweight does not mean unhealthy and i think people sometimes forget this when preaching !

Good luck xxxxxxxxxx

i am also over weight by approx 5st and i am one of the unlucky ones who is finding it hard ttc[]this is now our 16mth ttc[][}]

Thanks everyone for your response

I have been to the docters recently and have been told that while it is not a good idea to be overweight I am still perfectly healthly so fingers crossed this will be the month !!

Hi MD, I was about 7st overweight & a size 24 when I joined the weight loss forum. I was doing the Lipotrim diet & lost almost 5st before I went on holiday at the end of last year & dropped down to a size 16/18. I did put some weight back on because I was stupid & pigged out while on holiday & when I got back home over christmas & new year so I re-started dieting & did cambrdige diet for a while & managed to loose the weight I put back on before falling pregnant. I am still over weight by around 3st, but I managed to get pregnant with very little trying! I must admit being a size 16/18 now makes me feel so much healthier & I'm not out of breath when walking up the stairs & things so I feel personally loosing the weight will help me have an easier pregnancy.

A friend of mine fell pregnant quite easy a couple of years back & she was 7st over weight also, so I wouldn't say its impossible at all. Have fun! [][]
