Ellakins, it is so hard when these things are out of your control as well! My best friend recently had a baby and she was probably about 130kg when she fell pregnant naturally. She actually lost weight while being pregnant but was still over 120kg when she delivered. She did have high blood pressure during pregnancy but then she had high BP prior to pregnancy so it was to be expected.
Thanks for the reply. I am very lucky, i dont have high bp, or cholesterol and diabetes (although i understand that because i am overweight i am more likely to get gestational diabetes), i am relatively healthy, other than some knee surgeries and pcos im tip top. i hope your friend is doing well, and thankyou for the reply.
This is my 3rd baby and all 3 times ive def been over 100kg....i have safely carried 2 girls with no pregnancy complications and had 2 vaginal problem free deliveries.
While it isnt ideal...its not to be ruled out you cant carry and deliver safely.
Watch the hospitals though..i know most here in VIC will not take you on if your BMI is over 35....you will need to go to a big hospital. I am going to Monash....it was the only one (apart from royal womens or what ever its called...the other big one) that would take me.
My hossy visits are with OB's all the time and on occassion a midwife.
On you comment of gestational diabetes...i never had it the last 2 times...but doesnt mean i wont this time...HTH
