  • I was reading an article in a local news paper and I was shocked to read that those very fat can suffer from hindrances in pregnancy.
  • Sharon Biddinger, 24, now pregnant with her second child, was almost 50 pounds heavier going into this pregnancy than she was the first time around. She attributes the weight gain after her first child to a lack of exercise and eating whatever she wanted. The extra weight really took a toll on Sharon emotionally. She would often inspire insensitive comments like, "When are you going to lose that baby weight?" "It was a horrible and depressing time," she says.
  • Overweight or obese women are more likely to experience complications within pregnancy, and also that their chance of a successful IVF treatment is lower, and that therefore this precious resource should be withheld from them.
  • My mother is obese and pregnant but i don't think because of obesity that is why she got pregnant, it's fine to be pregnant even you are obese as long as you maintain all you need to maintain like regular check up to the doctor.
