So yeah, since I’m overweight, and very “lazy” (AKA sedentary), I’m scared to get pregnant, although I really wanna be. But just to see where everyone stands, can you please tell me what your BMI was when you got pregnant? I’m getting old too, so that’s another thing I’m scared of. My age is 28, Ht= 5’3, wt=160 lbs (BMI 28.3). I’m almost OBESE…AHHHHHHH!!!
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
My BMI was 18.6 when I conceived my first one and now it’s 24!!! 
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
my age was 24, height 5.4 & weight 76 
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
^ You're still not over-weight, masha'Allah! I'd take 24 any day over a 28.3!

Sorry, it was meant for WendyDarling. I didn't see your post before I posted. But now, you're not that far from being normal weight though. Also, 28.7 at the time of delivery is fine I guess, I'm sure you started at a lower weight when you conceived?
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
AHEM, bmi is around 30 now.: , THATS ALL I KNOW.
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
when I conceived it was 30 and now it's 25.
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
when I conceived it was 30 and now it's 25.
So you lost weight after delivery? Was it hard?
So there is hope for overweight women before convincing, that they can lose weight after pregnancies.

i started at 65kg...but my dr in pak said that i was overweight n sent me on a diet :(
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
lol...busybee u cannot plan this stuff. I started at 75 plus KG. Ive been monitoring weight carefully through pregnancy. I have entered month six and am doing fine so far. Eaten right so far, let us hope for the best. I have been trying to ensure that weight is mostly baby.
Why can't you plan this stuff? If someone thinks they need to lose weight before getting pregnant why can't they plan it that way? Some doctors advice overweight to obese women to lose weight before ttc.

Yeah, why can't I plan it? :( So you were 75kgs when you conceived? What's your height?
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
U cannot plan it since when Allah wants it to happen it will. @ spiral and @busybee, I did NOT plan to conceive. I , like you, thought I would lose weight before pregnancy. I was taking precautions. This pregnancy happened DESPITE precautions. So yeah you cannot plan it.
And let me tell you something else, these days, with increasing awareness and incidence of PCOS and infertility issues, you'd be better off trying from the start and then controlling yourself during pregnancy. Look at all the TTC girls even here.

Well yeah, in that case you of course you can't plan it...but one can keep trying to lose weight until Allah's will ( while taking precautions or w/o precautions) :)
You're right about starting early. I took precautions for first two yrs and after that since last three yrs I havent been able to conceive....although this cycle is gonna be the first time I take fertility drugs, I have PCOS. Let's see insha'Allah :)
Re: What was your BMI (Height & Weight) when you conceived?
Well I was 25 and weighed 40kg and was 51 kg right before my c-sec!
