Overweight or obese and TTC?

[happycloud]

Can't believe I'm 80 pounds overweight and pregnant, but here we go! I'm going to try and not gain hardly any weight...by slowly losing if possible. I need to exercise more. I know that I'm not supposed to jump into some big new plan, but I just joined a new gym and will treadmill more often. Part of the reason I gained so much in the last year is because I stopped going to the gym!
Good luck everyone! I love to see that we have several BFPs here...proof that we big girls can do it!

Try and be positive, it's normal to be scared but you have to believe everything will be wonderful!

Hi Monkeypooh! It's nice to see another Canadian!

Hiya!! I lived in BC. I worked at BC Cancer Research Center. What part are you from?

Hey! We moved to the Kootenays from Port Coquitlam about 4 years ago! Where abouts were you?

Sorry, I missed this until now,
I lived in Tsawwassen for a few years then Vancouver- I miss the ocean so much.

No worries I miss the ocean too! Luckily my in-laws live on it so when we go down I get to see it for sure

What I did when I was pregnant with my daughter was just buy larger plus size clothes. I didn't have much luck finding plus size maternity clothes but the bigger plus size clothes worked great for me and I have been able to keep wearing most of them after too

Hi Wilsons

Hiya, my name is Louise, i'm 32 and i'm TTC baby number 2. I am very overweight. We've been TTC for 12 months now. We were NTNP with our first and it all happened quite quickly. I am about 2 stone heavier now. I've been using OPK tests. My cycles were regular (28 days) when I had Ben but now they are anything betwen 31 to 41 days and I have a LH of 10 days (used to be 14). My DH keeps telling me we should go to the doctors but I worried i'll just get fobbed off because of my weight.

 

[dmfamily]

I hear ya..we tried for 7 months...I didn't want to see a doc right away because i Knew they would get mad and yell at me... I had doubts...i'm about 80lbs overweight... I have lost about 100lbs in the past 2 years...I was hoping that would help my body conceive and carry....we did it after 7 months..our first appt is tomorrow I hope I don't get yelled at too much..and I hope all this goes well...I'm soooo worried my weight will mess this all up...

....to previous question...no clomid...

 

[happycloud]

I have been reading that book!

Just ordered it, thanks for the recommendation caity86!

 

[dmfamily]

[Try Rocking]

Congratulations!

DM Family-
We ordered that book too.

When did they tell you they wanted you in for a visit. I explained my weight and such and they still don't want to see me until I am 8 weeks.
