thank u so much for doing this video...I am overweight and ttcing...I have pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and have been ttcing for over four years...I was always told that I needed to lose weight in order to conceive, but my current OB hasn't mentioned my weight as an issue...I weigh 235 right now...got down to 217 in may 2011 and put it back on.. :( my ideal weight would be 175 as well, as for the what I should weigh...130 :( totally got so much to lose :(
@ooitzgigi I was very lucky and was able to conceive when I was ready. I wasn't on birth control so there were no hormones that had to leave my system before I could get pregnant.
@ooitzgigi My ideal weight should be 175 and I was 220 when I conceived my first and about 240 when I conceived my second. I think your Doctor was over generalizing because I know lots of overweight women who have kids.
@jullpete well im diabetic.. and im 200 pounds but im short 5'2 she keeps telling me to loose weight but why not do it after i have a child? she made it seem like i cant conceive if i dont loose weight. super mad and sad :/
@ooitzgigi That is so discouraging! I know there are health reasons for both Mom and baby to be at a healthy weight. But I know that for myself I struggle with my weight and there is a chance that I will not be at a "healthy" weight while I am still able to have kids. I am glad I didn't wait to have kids.
@jullpete I saw your comments on this video about your doctor saying over where girls don't ovulate and I just wanted to let you know that is absolutely not true. I am 5'1" and weight 196 lbs and have ovulated on my own my whole life! I did have issues getting pregnant but not because I didn't ovulate but because of low progesterone. Keep your head up... big girls are just as able as anyone else!
@AxKatenok I'm glad you liked it! When I was first pregnant I wished there had been something like this. It's nice to hear of someone's experiences with pregnancy.
Hello there! Have you ever tried cleverous 402 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some unbelivable things about it and my sister lost lots of weight with it.
Awesome video Hun, thank you so much - I've just found out that I'm pregnant and I'm 236 Ib right now so I know I need to keep a close eye on it! This was really helpful, and your little girl is adorable :) dee xxx
@missjellydee Congratulations! I don't think there is anything more exciting than being pregnant. My best advice for you would be to just watch your weight. You will do great no matter what :) Best wishes to you.
This video was wonderful! Iv been told to lose weight b4 I try to get pregnant and Im workin on it but somedays I feel like aih cant I just do it the way I am?! After seeing this video and all the complications that could happen and the diabetes...it just freaks me out-It gave me some motivation!! & your daughter is beautiful!!
@ML0822 There is a lot of guilt when you are pregnant and overweight. I just hope and pray that my choices were good enough that my children won't see side effects from my being heavy. If I had it all to do again I would want to be thin when I got pregnant. All in all my pregnancy was pretty easy considering. I did what my Doctor said to control the diabetes as well as I could and ended up having very normal sized baby's. Thanks for watching!
Very informative. Even though wasn't weigh loss related, I enjoyed it. I hope to lose weight before I become pregnant. My plans are couple years from now, until I graduate. But if it will be God's plan I hope to be at least 80% less then I am now. Congratulations on not gaining much on the second pregnancy. Keep up the motivation to lose the baby weight. I know you will. -3
@Slim4Iife Thanks for watching Mari! I think it's interesting for those who want to get pregnant to know what is involved. I wish I had been healthier when I was pregnant just because there are so many thing that could happen to my children that are my fault before they were even born. It's a scary thing to think about. I didn't realize with my first. I hope with any future children that I will be much healthier and smarter. Best wishes to you :)
I watched the entire video and I have to tell you that you did a fantastic job explaining everything about being overweight and pregnant. Your baby is beautiful, such a cutie pie. Thanks for sharing your experience. I was so surprised to learn that you were told to lower your carbs while pregnant, very interesting. Love watching your videos : )
@raceto140 Thanks for watching! Pregnancy turned out to be nothing that I expected! I was put on a pretty strict diet towards the end of both my pregnancies. I had to really watch my carb intake or my blood sugars were way too high. High blood sugars can lead to lots of problems including a huge baby. I wasn't interested in a huge baby so I watched it very carefully :)
I actually watched this entire video even though I follow you for weight loss purposes. I'm very interested in pregnancy while overweight and hearing others' stories, because I was also very overweight with my first pregnancy. I started at about 210lbs and ended up at a bit over 260 when I delivered. I was at risk for gestational diabetes, but was never diagnosed with it, and I also had very uncomfortable swelling especially in my face and feet.
@MissJulieJanee I am always interested in people's pregnancy stories. I love hearing how they are similar or different from mine. I also love hearing the horror stories..luckily my pregnancies were both very uneventful as far as all that goes. You have done so well in losing and getting yourself in good shape. i'm sure your next pregnancy will be awesome. Thanks for watching :)
I feel it's been SO LONG since i've seen a video, I admit I know nothing about being pregnant, and most of this video was double dutch to me, but it's awesome seeing you sharing your world with us :)
@TurtledogWLV Thanks for watching Jerry! I have a silly video I made while I was pregnant that has about 1600 views. It isn't very informative so I decided to make a video with a little more info. I've got a weight loss update in the works..it'll be up soon :) Thanks for being so great and supportive of me.
