i'm a larger lady and, apart from PE at the VERY END of the pg, i had no real issues. yeah, i had shocking MS - but anyone can have that! no weight related issues at all for me. i ended up losing weight while pg, and i haven't put any back on that i've noticed. i continued to eat healthy through the pregnancy and do the same now - i still hve some bad crap occassionally, but the bulk of my eating is made up of vegetables with some meat, home made stuff - minimal pre-processed stuff etc. i asked both the GP and the Ob doing my shared care and neither had a problem with my weight as i was healthy and looking after myself
