Do you think a 500lbs woman could have a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: That kind of obesity is terrible. Please make sure that you do not have a tumor affecting the hypothalamus. Your overall health is grossly impaired and pregancy is unlikely but could happen. We now know that brain metabolism has a lot to do with obesity.
