Morbidly obese

Is anyone here extremely obese? If so, how has your pregnancy been going and how do you feel?

Obese. . . Ugh I hate that term. But yes I am considered obese depending on the source sometimes ever morbidly. But anyway I have been feeling fine. I am 13 weeks and I have not had any morning sickness. The only thing is that I have been getting a little car sick but that's about it. I did have a scare with gestational diabetes. The doctor sent me for my glucose test at 10 weeks but the 3 hour came back okay so they just want me to watch what I eat. Other than a couple of things I would say I have had an easier pregnancy then some hope this brings you some comfort. Good luck

Yes- I am. I'm currently 7 weeks along and feeling great so far.  I was told I couldn't conceive without fertility drugs, so I held off in order to lose another 20-30lbs before trying.

I was about 14lbs down when I realize was late.  Guess I was ovulating!  We're very excited, but holding this very loosely since I have such a high risk of miscarriage between my age (38), significant obesity, and history of polycystic ovarian syndrome and insulin resistance.  That being said, I am being super careful with my diet -esp. salt and sugar, and exercise.

I'll post again next week after my first US.
