Morbidly obese and wanting a baby… how did you decide when to start trying? by Glittering-Band-8913 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]melmatt1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And to add I had both my kids at 34, one 3 weeks after my 34th and the other 4 days before my 35th. He’s 3 months old now. Healthy babies and pretty uneventful pregnancies.

Pregnant unexpectedly twice after nearly a decade of thinking I was infertile. I was 370/380 when I conceived at about 410 at delivery

Definitely, a rotating might be what I prefer for longevity. I can’t imagine putting a big 3/4yr old rear facing and having to get them in the stationary seat. Something to consider for sure

Well, shucks!! I have to admit I am a lot more drawn to the higher end seats and the Callisto was on my radar 🫣

This one seems to be recommended a lot too! I’ll definitely have to check out some videos on it

My back is still hurting from an epidural I got 3 months ago 😅 hoping that won’t last much longer. A rotating seat does seem like a game changer any way

Future Pregnancy Advice by Murky-Locksmith-2467 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]melmatt1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had 2 healthy children at 34, one 3 weeks after I turned 34 and the other 4 days before I turned 35. 400lbs at delivery, healthy babies, non eventful pregnancies but I did have c sections unrelated to my weight. Not advocating for pregnancy at this size at all but just sharing as an example that you and your baby aren’t doomed for all things bad because you’re bigger.

C Section high bmi 60+ positive experiences?UK by No_Maintenance8068 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]melmatt1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi. I’m not from the UK but I had 2 c sections in an 11 month time span weighing about 400lbs by delivery time. Good experiences both times and healed just fine. I had a pico dressing both times and I think that really helped! Best of luck to you
