Obesity: Obesity, defined as a bmi >35, can often involve the abdomen or trunk of one's body.  This form of "central obesity" tends to be more dangerous in terms of the risks for developing diabetes, sleep apnea, and heart disease.  Such a person might look pregnant in certain clothes.

Question 5

i am obese and the condom broke on jan31st and was on my cycle jan 15th, so may have been ovulating.  i took plan b 11 hrs later. possibly pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Plan B Works: There is nothing we can add to this except that you took Plan B at the right time.  There is, as of yet, instructions on what to do if you are obese and need plan b.

Plan b can mess with your menstrual cycle for one to two monte so you will have to use barrier protection until you have returned to normal cycles.

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. For the sake of your and your babies health, you should be under the care of a doctor and should discuss the matter with her/him.

Question 7

help please! what eating disorders can a pregnant women get and why?

Accepted Answer

All kinds: There is so much going on during pregnancy both physically and emotionally. Food becomes different; women are now feeding someone else while they are feeding themselves. The high calorie foods (sometimes junk)  they might deprive themselves of are now "in limits" on the other end of the spectrum some women cannot distinguish between "fat" and pregnant so they do harm by depriving themselves.

Question 8

what is a healthy amount of calories to be eating for a 27yr old and 8weeks pregnant woman?

Accepted Answer

About 300 more: During pregnancy women need about 300 more calories a day more than what they usually take in.  Of course, in the first trimester you probably need a little less than that.

Question 9

for more about their many benefits. 
It is important to make healthy food choices during pregnancy and carrots are an excellent choice.

Question 10

what is the effect of eating raw rice on a pregnant woman?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Some pregnant women may develop a certain tendency to eat uncooked food like raw rice. There are no known studies in pregnant women on the effect of eating raw rice. I do suspect that an upset stomach,  constipation and bloating may result. I recommend you resist the temptation and try cooking the rice.
