Every time I think "Okay, I could have a baby now. Things are perfect but we could make this work", I remember my weight. While on my honeymoon I saw a TV program about pregnant fat women and all the problems they have to overcome. So I got it into my head that there is NO WAY I should have a baby at my weight. I was sure that I needed to lose at least 100lbs before I even started to try and losing that amount of weight could take me years and years and years. Very discouraging.
I recently ran across a blog called
Plus Size Birth. It deals with all the issues that plus size moms have to deal with, including stigma from doctors and plus size maternity clothes. It also discusses how 'babywearing' items, such as the one shown, often don't fit plus sized people. So they give links to ones that do!
I still would like to change my diet so I'm healthier, but I'm less afraid that my weight is a Go to Jail card when it comes to pregnancy.
