Yes: Being heavy is bad for you at this point is not clear if maternal weight may impact the quality of the milk.

Yes: If your weight is in the morbid-obesity zone, you have a high chance of dying or being disabled before your child reaches majority. I would say being orphaned is definitely an outcome you should take steps to protect your child from.
