Weight:Is my weight right for conceiving

2007-08-20

Name: Parinitha Reddy Hi,

I would like to know if I can become pregnant at 103 kgs [dont know pounds]. I dont have any medical problems, just overweight. What impact does it have if I conceive at this weight and what are risks? Does it effect delivery of the baby? What are the other areas of risks?

or is it just that I need to lose weight for the same.

Please reply soon...
thanks...P

Hello Parinitha,
it will be good if you reduce some weight say 15-20kg, however my sister is also very fat, but she has 2 daughter.. only thing you will have a problem if you want a baby is you probably won' t be able to do a normal delivery.. i think dr advised to go for operation.

hi Parinitha

considering ur age u may face difficulty to conceive.u seriously need to lose weight.(i was overweight by 15 kgs and lost 5 kgs).its ok if u r overweight by few kgs.the risk u face in case u conceive could be high BP,diabetes during pregnancy which can cause a complicated delivery.also aftr delivery it will be very difficult to lose weight.since i' m no expert but still can say please lose atleast 20-20kgs.joining a gym under a trainer will help u acheive the results.with a focussed mind u can lose 4-5 kgs in span of 4-5 months.then u can start TTC.myself now 68(overweight by 13kgs from actual weight)and 9 weeks pregnant.so wish u goodluck and forgive me if i' ve said anything wrong/hurted u.wish u lots of babydust.
