Can confirm. Am 13 weeks pregnant, feel & look like ass. Moody as all hell too.

I hated seeing these. You're deluding yourself if you think you look good at that size. If no one can tell that you're pregnant, you don't look good. Plus, I don't like seeing pregnant women in their underwear in the first place. Being fat makes it 10 times more assaulting.

They sure do. Being overweight and eating poorly while pregnant is a contributing factor to gestational diabetes. Even nondiabetic mothers who overeat are at risk of having a gigantic fucking baby that can't be born vaginally and now has to be delivered by cesarean, which happens to also up a kids lifetime obesity risk and chance of developing asthma and allergies (which are also risks for fat kids in general.)
It's selfish and dangerous.
The food you eat actually flavors your amniotic fluid, and there is lots of research linking prenatal nutrition and childhood health and it's astonishing.

An obeast mom also puts the baby at risk for shoulder dystocia, which is a real emergency. The baby's head delivers through the birth canal, but the shoulders are too big to pass through. Sometimes the doctors will have to break the baby's collarbone in an attempt to save it.

Yes, they do. There are a correlation between the mothers eating habits and damages to the fetus, especially when it is a lot of fat and little micronutrients and vitamines. The risk of diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver and enlarged heart are also increased in babies born from obese mothers.
This is why the whole #mybodyisNOTbroken debacle infuriates me to no end. Just because you MIGHT be capable of getting pregnant doesn't mean you should, especially when you have a body so unhealthy it will damage you child from the moment of conception. Why the fuck are these white, middle class sows so incredibly selfish and irresponsible?

Lol it's the same age as me. I thought she was about 35 at the youngest! I get mistaken for 21 all the time.

Do you think the stretch marks came from the massive amounts of food or the overweight fetus in her gut?

Let's get the pro lifers onto the fatties then.
If they're pro life, they will understand obesity is a danger to unborn babies.
If they're pro life, they will understand obesity is a danger to the life of the obese (they care about all life right? Or just fetuses?)
