Obese mommies to be

I am 16 weeks and a little over 350 lbs. My baby is growing just fine. I know it maybe a little frightening but I just wanted to know were there any other super sized mommies to be out there.

I started at 210 and now am 251! Yikes. I was really disappointed in my starting weight because it was the most Ive ever weighed. Even though Ive gained so much in the last 7 months Ive decided not to focus on it because I have had an otherwise healthy preganancy and I plan to recommit to earing healthy and sraying active after shes born. Theyve tested me twice for gd and I have passed both times and aside from having slightly elevated blood pressure here and there everything is good and my girl is healthy and growing and I cant wait to meet her in June :)

I had back surgery 2 years ago and gained 70 pounds afterwards to bring me to 280. I have lost 13 pounds with the pregnancy so far and I'm 20 weeks. I can't walk more than 10 minutes or so at a time because of my back. It's not just from the pregnancy, but from the surgery. All I can do is try and eat healthy. Never had problems finding baby or measuring her. But, everyone is different. Good luck ladies.

I started off at 254 and am currently 247. I'm 14 weeks pregnant with twins and trying to eat healthy but find myself eating whatever I can keep down since morning sickness has me throwing everything up. Hoping to not gain too much and deliver healthy babies! :)

I started at 245 and am at 253 at almost 35 weeks. Walking everyday and eating good has helped. Dr assumed I would be diabetic, I wasn't . Didn't start showing until 32 weeks, just looked odd. Keep up the good work ladies .

I started at 260, lost 8lbs. Gained that back and now, at 25 weeks am 267. Dr says I'm doing great. Exercise and eat right is all you can do. I was worked at first but i think worrying was making me worse off.
