I guess its just like a couple of people have said.. you need to make sure you drink water, watch blood pressure etc...

More weight can mean more risk of blood pressure problems or other problems.. and just the strain of everyday work is more when your pregnant and more when your overweight, so I guess adding the 2 makes double the strain again. (Shannon mentioned ankles etc)

I guess thats why over weight women can be classed as high risk for a homebirth etc.. they dont want to take the risk.. (Note to self: must lose at least 20kgs b4 pregnancy)..

I have enough trouble with clothes now as an 18/20!.. let alone pregnancy.
