Do obese women really tend to have larger babies?  My OB didn't mention this.  I'm newly pregnant and obese and already anxious about labor.  Throw in a big baby and I'll have a panic attack thinking about it!

Unfortunately, yes.  I mean, you're not doomed, but statistically...

http://share.kaiserpermanente.org/article/overweight-and-obese-women-more-likely-to-have-large-babies/[/quote] my doctor said to am for gaining 10-12 lbs rather than 20-30 if you start out overweight.[/quote]

yes, there are different weight gain recs depending on where you start. I was on the other end and my ob said 30-40 was perfectly healthy.

But what you gain doesn't directly correlate to the size of the baby your produce.[/quote]

Thanks for the link. My OB did talk about my own weight gain and keeping it in check for my own health, but didn't say anything about how it'd affect the weight of my baby. Yikes!  Definitely sticking with the diet we discussed! [/quote]
