In thinking morbidly obese women should not be trying to concieve?

I think it is incredibly selfish and feel that if they cannot (or will not) lose weight they should not have a baby. Much like smokers, alcoholics and drug users - if they cannot make an effort to be healthy for a pregnancy things will not improve once the baby is born.

Miyazaki - at size 10 I was told to lose some more weight. I am only 5 ft but still....

Two words. Very simple ones so that you can understand them easily.

The first is Piss. The second is Off.

Twelvelegs I know it's possible but is it reasonable behaviour for them to have babies?. I am obese (not morbidly) and am desperate to lose weight in order to conceive. I would not inflict my health problems on another baby and I think that women who do are selfiah - so flame me!

some people are over weight due to health reasons they should not be made then to not have children

some, people get big after pregnancy should there children be taken away

i think all entitled to a opinion but ones like this should stay with you

anyone can health problems big small fat thin all deserve to be parents

i tend not to judge as everyone deserves happiness as long as not harming the child

feck off
I am sorry but take it you watched that sensationalist shite on the tv the other night!!
I watched it to and completely disagreed with the whole bloody programme..and also some of the women displayed on it..one of them said she was so uncomfortable when pg that she would just pee where she was that is nothing to do with being morbidly obese thats to do with being a lazy fecker.
I am morbidly obese and was so while ttc all my 3 dc yet I did not sit on my arse doing nothing I worked until I was 39wks with ds. I then looked after ds who was 2,2when dd1 was born and only 3.2 when dd2 was born. I had normal pregnancies with no problems and normal vaginal births..all be it induced with no pain relief..so tell me again why cant I have kids????Maybe I shouldnt ttc no.4 just in case god forbid I have some complications that oh any potential mother could have...

Do people really think trolls should try to conceive? Is our health system adapted to coping with their pregnancies? Would a piece of muddy bank under a bridge really count as a healthy environment for a small baby?

I think uptight, intolerant women should be forced to stop boring the world with their ridiculous opinions.

rebelmum1 · 13/06/2008 14:27

Why is anything anyone chooses to do anyone's business, if people choose to smoke, drink, eat, take drugs it's free choice. Nanny state culture going too far.

anotherfatty · 13/06/2008 14:27

Heifer & Wigwambam - so you don't agree with me - there are ways of expressing this articulately and not resorting to swearing (tis the last resort of an exhausted mind)!

If I am a troll - why are you all responding to this?
