RainAngel – Welcome! Some Doctors can be mean. I had a gyno tell me that I was Selfish for wanting to TTC while being heavy. That was a hard day! I’ve known many heavy women that have had safe pregnancies. Fingers crossed that this is your year!! :thumbup:

I've heard alot of crap about TTC and my weight. My response to my doctor was: I was pregnant when I was "fat" before, I can do it again! :thumbup: this one will just stick :happydance:
 
Glad the thread helped :) I love looking at it but it does make me wish it was me even more.

I will confess now to sometimes stuffing a pillow up my top to see what I would look like with a bump :blush:

Love the horse pics :)

I do not chart at the moment either I am the same as you and just look at the ovulation predictor calender things. If I have no luck by June I think I will have to start though.

I just puff out my fat belly and think if I was slim and about 6 months pregnant then that's what I would look like!
 
Afternoon ladies :)

Has everyone in the West Midlands had a baby overnight? I have seen them everywhere today even a set of gorgeous twins in a double pushchair. I always feel jealous of course but part of me now thinks 'I wonder of they were like me and longed for their baby for ages' so now I try and be happy for them (jealous but happy :blush: )

Anyone else got experience of trying to give up smoking while trying to lose weight at the same time? I haven't set my quit date yet but I am hoping that it will be soon. I am putting together a box of sugar free gum and magazines and plan on filling the house full of healthy snacks like carrot sticks so I cannot turn to chocolate when I am having cravings. Then I am basically going to hole myself up in the house for a week. I am so worried about gaining weight while quitting and ending up back at square one. :dohh:

Of course if I got my BFP then I would giv up straight away but I would really like to be smoke free before then.

I read Allen Carr the easy way to give up smoking and I swear it was like magic. I did put on a bit of weight but not a lot and because it makes everything taste nicer when you don't smoke I enjoyed eating healthy stuff.

Good luck!!!!

Hi there I have just quit for a week now and just went cold turkey! I just decided that I can't smoke becuase what if there's a little baby inside me already and I just don't know it yet!
 
Hello again Ladies! It's so nice to see the thread is growing! I was driving to work this morning day dreaming about how I would tell the people who are close to me when I finally get pregnant. Anyone else do this?
Also, I read a Tweet that I thought was nice from Rev Run, it said
"HOPE = (H)ave (O)nly (P)ositive (E)xpectations!!"

Sending lots of :dust: to everyone!

I completely agree! I think just because we are bigger we can still have completely healthy pregnancies!
 
I saw that one person announced their pregnancy by making their facebook status read:

OVbunEN


Which I thought was cute. lol ;)

My friend, who is heavier than i am, has a 2 year old. her pregnancy was fine, except she had a c-section, but her girl is just fine!

yeah, my OB has a totally different tune! she was very helpful, and quite supportive. When my thyroid came back outta whack they sent me to the GP, and i do NOT like that horrible woman!!

my ob said that generally weight doesnt affect getting pregnant, however, im finding that to be a bit untrue. hopefully weight loss will help, but its not a cure all like they think.
