Yes, obese, and even very obese (I refuse to use the term "morbid", it's downgrading) women can have just as safe of a pregnancy as a thinner woman. Your doctor will advise you to gain only about 15 lbs. maximum, and you will have to re-adjust your eating habits to make sure the baby has the proper nutrition it needs. If you have trouble doing this or eating healthy, just think of this : Do you really want YOUR baby to be eating that 800 calorie, 15 trans-fat gram Big Mac? I am 5'6" tall and 175 lbs. and I am still considered obese. Being in my 2nd pregnancy, I just try to snack on fruits and veggies I like to keep my calorie-packed cravings in control.

∙ 13y agoThe same way anyone else gets pregnant. Through sex with a male that is fertile. Other than that - in vitro fertilization. I know I was morbidly obese when I got pregnant and I have a healthy son and I had him without needing a c section. It was a long labor but he came out healthy. I know others who are obese who also get pregnant the natural way through sex.

∙ 12y agoDefintely. You can get pregnant even if you are overweight, but bear in mind, if you are highly obese or suffer from Diabetes, your chances of having a normal pregnancy may vary. For instance, in mose cases, c-section will be prefered and advised by your doctor in order to ensure that the baby is born without harm or defect, but pay special attention on a regular basis. Visit your health clinic and follow the advised steps to ensure your period of pregnancy will be fine. Best wishes to you.

∙ 14y agoWhen being morbidly obese the period has usually changed and might not work. But that is individual. Yes she can. The risk of miscarrying will be higher though and the risk for complications much higher.

∙ 13y agoOverweight women can absolutely get pregnant, but if you are trying to conceive and are very overweight you should attempt to lose some weight before you conceive. Women who are overweight also need to gain less weight than other women during pregnancy, but you should not begin a new weight loss plan if you are pregnant.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, you certainly can. You'll risk some possible complications, but if there is no other health or fertility problem, your weight should not prevent you from conceiving and bearing a child.

Why do women need more body fat than men?
Body fat is our bodies' energy reserve, in case food would get scarce. Women have adapted to carry more body fat so they have more spares in case they should become pregnant when food is scarce. The fat would then be turned into nutrition for them and the baby. Women with very little body fat may stop menstruating, nature's way of preventing them from having babies when there's not enough food around.
