I weighed 260 at the start of my pregnancy and maintained that for most of it and only gained a few pounds twords the end- I also had an almost 9 lb baby, but did not have gestational diabetes. I took both the 1 hr and the 3 hr and passed easily.
Now as far as the little weight gain- my Dr. was fine with it because I was eating healthy and eating enough. After I had my youngest I acutally weighed 235 within 2 months and maintained it until I quit nursing.
I have a healthy 16 month old daughter who is ahead on all of her milestones- so there is no ill effects of my lack of weight gain or how I ate.
Hi! I have such relief hearing from you. I have been trying get pregnant naturally but not working. I noticed u said you were 260 when pregnant. I weigh 232. Did you have to undergo any fertility treatment or was IP diet good enough to get you pregnant? Assuming u have pcos.
I was on IP previously and got pregnant unexpectedly. However when I am trying this year without IP, it's not working for me. I want to understand if it's my weight that's not letting it happen this time and do I need to go back on IP to get pregnant again.
