Obese Pregnancy

[ShellyC1984]

So I’m back on mumsnet with pregnancy #6 🤦‍♀️ Only thing is this time I’m really overweight before the pregnancy has even presented weight gain. I weighed 15Stone with my last pregnancy and the dr was always commenting and making me depressed it was awful. This time round I’m starting off at 20stone I just don’t know how I’ll manage. Are there any other super size mamas going through the same mental anguish xx

I am 17st I believe (or I was at my booking appointment I’m 12 weeks now) and the only thing that’s been mentioned is that it was harder to see baby in the scan because of the extra weight on my belly, and that I need a higher folic acid dose, everyone so far has been very nice and hasn’t made it a big issue. Please don’t over stress yourself about weight it’s not the be all and end all for a healthy pregnancy x
