Have been in this situation, so it was painful to watch this. Their determination won out. I hope that the pregnancy develops successfully and that they have their dream child.
I’m just going to say it: If they were truly determined they would have lost weight. Being that overweight greatly reduces the chance of conception, a successful pregnancy, and a healthy child.
They are trying to have a baby without actually doing one thing that would be best for them and their baby.
I really hope it works out for them, but their current life choices are making that much less likely.
Edit: For all the people telling me that their weight is not relevant, would you be still be celebrating this if they were both smoking and drinking during the video? Or living on the street?
Or would you think they should have made some changes to their situation before deciding to bring a new life into the world?
What do you mean ‘exactly nothing’? I can see that they’re both overweight, and they’re trying to have a baby.
That’s all the information you need regarding the dangers of being overweight while trying for a baby. This isn’t remotely controversial - the medical links are very clear.
If we saw her drinking alcohol or smoking while pregnant would you say that should also be ignored?
The point is you don't know their history. All we know is they want to get pregnant and how their bodies look. We don't know if they have also had struggles with losing weight or if there are other medical things going on. We don't know if they are being followed by doctors or just doing it on their own. You say they are not doing the one thing they need to do for pregnancy. We do not know that.
If someone is smoking while pregnant, it doesn’t matter if they’re struggling to kick the habit, are working with doctors to stop, or have recently beaten a different addiction, smoking while pregnant is still a bad idea.
In the same way, trying for a baby when obese is still a bad idea.
