A member asked:

I am 32, obese bmi 46 with a "hangover belly". does that effect my uterus from carrying baby full term?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uterus: The interior of your body cavity is not affected by what is draped around it. Your delivery will be more difficult especially if a surgical delivery is done and the pregnancy itself may be more difficult overall for you but it should not influence going to term or not.
