old and fat and pregnant

edited February 2011 in Health
I am so nervous! I'm preg w/ #3 and due late Sept. We tried for a year and didn't get preg, so we thought we were done. I was getting ready to make an appt. To get an iud and realized I am preggo. Nervous because I'm overweight (by a lot) and 35 (old in child bearing years) Anyone else out there like me?

  • I am pregnant with#3 at 32. I am a little overweight too. I have been maintaining my weight so far but still feel so fat. This baby wasn't planned either... I was on the pill. We're excited though.
  • Ditto! 35 and weigh 200. Sucks. I had a MC in June and we have been trying ever since. I'm scared I will gain a boat load of weight.
  • I will be 36 this month and on our 4th baby. This one wasn't planned either. My oldest is 16, second will be 4 in july, and youngest will be 2 in march. All boys. Hoping for a girl this time. Have to wait and see only 10wks 3days.
    :p
  • Old my ass..I am 43! Pleasantly plump...lost 160 pounds due to gastric bypass...and 6 weeks along. So there! :P
  • I'm not really old yet. I'm 26.. but I weigh 300 pounds. I was dieting when I got pregnant. I had lost 30. This is my first pregnancy and I've been worried about my weight effecting it. I've quit dieting and quit taking the diet pills. And I'm hoping I don't gain 100 pounds or somethin
  • LOL I'm not too over weight, but I'm 33 34 when baby gets here. Not planned, I had just made up my mind I was done! Still very excited but def not in shape by any means! Just feeling fat gross and tired! Chasing a 2 year old, have a 5 year old in school half days, and working 30 hrs a week. I'm exausted! And when I finally get to bed i still can't sleep through night! I'm 27 weeks and feel like I should be 37wks! So ready for this lil girl to be here!
  • I am on my 4th. I am 34 years old.. I feel my body is too old for this I am 15 weeks pregnant. Had sever morning sickness that I lost 10 lbs bringing my weight to 194 lbs. Still havent gain anything so far. I have a 17 year old that pregnancy was a piece of cake.. I have a 7 yr old that was ok and my last baby is going to be 6 I was 28 years old for that one. Hoping for a boy to even it out lol.. But it is very demanding on this body..this will def be the last!
  • I'm 34 going on what feels like 50. Second preg, butt last year I was in a pretty bad car accident and put on twenty lbs,i also had another mc in august.
  • Im on baby number 4. I'm 37 a month shy of 38 when this baby gets here. My 2 oldest are 17 & 14, my son is 17 months. I was on medication that caused me to gain over 50 pounds in about 6 months right before I got pregnant with my son. I had 16 pounds during my pregnancy with him just from no longer taking the medication. I was about 215 when I found out I was pregnant & 199 when I went into labor. I dropped to 175 shortly after but gained that all back. Honestly I want really trying to lose weight because we were planning on having another one. Plus I breast fed and its not easy to diet and breast feed..... Im now 27 weeks and again im only losing weight. This is by far my hardest pregnancy yet!!!! I think because I'm so out of shape!!!!!
  • Omg im rite there with ya....im 35 and overweight....i was dieting when I found out I was preggy...i had gained about 70lbs after losing 150 3years ago....i feel gross and so tired ive been walking alot and trying not to gain anything I dont even know how much ive gained my Drs office never weighs me.Btw....im 24weeks....my other kids are 13,12,&11.I have certainly noticed im not as energic anymore and I feel sad when I have to tell people im pregnant cause to people that dont know me I just look really fat.
  • Snap, 36 now but will be 37 when button arrives. Had managed to loose 48llb now know ill gain it all again. Oh well, its all worth it lol x
  • LOL... I'M 200 and 36 just had my 3rd son last year my other kids are 15 and 14 I swear I feel so heavy... being big and pregnant is hard but I try to make anything and everything I eat count only good food so far at 25 weeks I've only gained 3 pounds.. didn't get to loose any weight from thelast pregnancy before I got pregnant this time.. hope to stay motivated I know it will be hard....
  • I'm 40, overweight, and this is my third baby, unplanned and I worry all the time if everything is ok. I am 5wks 3days.
  • Me too. Overweight and 33..realized in 4 generations (inc cousins and aunts) i will be the oldest person to hv a baby in my family. Makin me feel really really old. Most of my friends were older moms (i'm always the youngest mom in the school classrooms) but now I will be the "older mom" haha! I luv it-I think ;)
  • i am 36 and a bit overweight....
  • U guys r not over weight u juz feel that way bcuz ur pregnant.
  • Well I am 25 and prego w #3. But I am overweight. I was 50 lbs lighter w the other two. I gained bc I have no colon therefore I have meds and all the other fun medical complications. But I feel so dag on fat and nasty :( I keep telling myself "as soon as I have this baby, I am losing this weight!"
  • The title of this made me giggle! I am pregnant with baby number 4 and am obese. I am 28 and have gained 180 lbs since I started having kids 7 years ago. I am 5 8 and weigh 310. I lost 35 lbs then found out I am pregnant. I know its going to be hard taking care of 3 kids ages 3,4 and 6 and pregnant and obese. My doctor iks aware of my fears for my health and has promised to keep a close eye on everything with me. The goal is to gain 10~15 lbs I hope I can stand by that!
  • I am 34 and over weight..309lbs I am 6'1 the doc told me I can't gain any weight!
  • 39 n waaay overweight with baby #4
  • I thought I was old! I'm 31 and having my first child. At my dr appt last week a chart said I was obese! I'm 5'5' and weigh 210. I was working out but not loosing any weight! Then surprise, I'm pregnant. So far I have not gained one pound and im 16 weeks pregnant. I really hope to gain only 10 pounds and lose the rest after I give birth. Good luck ladies!
  • I think my 40, pound loss got me pregnant! But im 25 first baby newly married and relocating I guess I like multi tasking.
  • I'm 38 yrs and preg w/#3. I lost 12 lbs trying to lose 20lbs but we had to go on Clomid again for this baby. But I'm so ready to get back on track to losing weight. My goal will be 135.
  • Im 30 and on my 3rd I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and gained 90 lbs! I hate it I gain weight and am in pain that gets worse with emotional stress I've lost two babies after giving birth an 22 yr old brother so I've had a hard time losing weight I love my dr though he is pretty blunt. He's chinese sometimes i have a hard time understanding him but he told me" you fat you baby fat no coke no finch fy" lol I just laughed
  • I think if he didn't have such a heavy accent I would have cried but he is such a cute lil old dr besides if is ever too mean I could snap him in half ;)
