I am going to see my gyno on the 19th for
my yearly and since my hubby and I are
ttc. I am considered obese (just barely)
by american medical standards and I was
wondering what kind of questions should I
ask my ob/gyn about ttc?
Will my wieght hinder our efforts?
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks!

I really don't know alot about this...But
I don't think you should have any problems
getting pregnant as long as your healthy.

I am fairly healthy besides bieng
overweight. My bp is great, I have
lowered my cholesterol and triglicerides,
I quit smoking 7 months ago and I don't
have diabetes... The only thing I am
realy afraid of is that since I am already
over weight getting pregnant I will gain
more weight.... And I am afraid that may
cause problems in and of itself

Yeah. The doctor will probably be able to
advise you on that. Maybe your dr would
put you on a strict diet and excersize
program or something.

Well, I have 2 little ones myself and have
foud that even if u go into pregnancy
relatively thin u could wind up overweight
when its all said and done (gained 70 lbs
with 2nd preg, 50 with 1st). With that
said, I would advise that u loose some
weight before getting pregnant. It would
be quite beneficial to u and ur baby. U
would reduce your risks of devloping
diabetes during ur pregnancy which is
quite common for overweight women and
reduce the risks for complications during
labor and delivery. Also, u will not have
difficulty after the baby to loose soo
much weight because u would of already
done half the work before u got pregers.
Most importantly u will most likely
concieve easily.... After u have lost
some weight............Many women get
pregnant while dieting or loosing
weight..I know that always works for
me..Once I hit a certain weight its a sure
fire thing i'll get pregnant (lol).
Whatever u decide I hope all goes
well...Good luck
