Is it true being overweight makes getting pregnant difficult?

[Anonymous]

I'm overweight and my first pregnancy was a miscarriage. If I reach a healthier weight will it not happen any more? And why

I've also seen real life examples where skinny girls get pregnant the first time. Makes me think weight really has something to do with it

I don't think is true... my neighbour she has 2 sons 17 year olds, and 6 months ago she just had a baby, and to not exagerate she's like 5'3 and about 140kg, don't know how big is that in St, Lb, etc... So yeah if the 💦 is healty and it can reach the 🥚, then should be all good. Ofcourse it takes... Less stress, more loving.

It can complicate things. First of all you’re prone to hypertension. Which can lead to heart disease, the number one killer in women. Also blood clots, birth defects. Yes women who are overweight have a higher chance of miscarriage. It’s like going into surgery. Drs. tend to recommend losing weight before someone goes into certain surgeries. Because your body will be much stronger, able to handle all the stress, the changes that your body will go through.

Pregnancy tends to be higher risk when overweight.
But miscarriages don't always happen due to weight and there's no correlation of "be thinner' to "no miscarriages"

There might be something to skinny girls get pregnant fast. I was about 105 pounds and got pregnant at the exact time and day I planned.

Overweight can cause a more difficult pregnancy. Rather than your body working hard to help the fetus develop, it uses a lot of its energy just trying to deal with your weight.

Being overweight while pregnant increases a lot of risk factors. You need to talk to a doctor. There are a lot of reasons a miscarriage can happen.
