Hi ya, I am 34 and started out my pregnancy at 350.I am now over 39 weeks and ready to deliver soon, I hope!! I only put on like 15 lbs during the 9 months. My midwifes & Doc have been great and assured me that my wieght was an issue but shouldnt harm my baby.Eat right,try to walk as much as I could and keep positive,worrying doesnt help anything.my blood pressure has stayed "beautiful" they tell me and luckily with all the diabetes on both sides of my family, I was lucky enough not to get the gestational diabetes while preg. So keep your chin up. The weights an issue, but not enough to stress yourself out. Also,I wanted to try to be good while preg and lose some wieght, but they advised me not too.When pregnant, the toxins from the fat when you lose weight pass thru the placenta and can affect your baby.I just tryed to maintain the weight I was at and then after I deliver I can start trying to lose it.I wish you luck.
