A lady at my church just gave birth to her 6th baby, a darling little girl after 5 boys!! She is 35 and probably weighed 350 pounds. The baby is completely healthy. The pregnancy was a total shock for them. This was just a few months ago. Then about a month ago, my cousin gave birth to a healthy baby boy at the age of 42 and probably weighed 250 pounds. The only thing you need to be worried about is elevated sugars. Just keep an eye on that. Of course, you don't have to be "overweight" to have that problem. You are going to be fine and have a healthy baby. Take care of yourself though. Your baby needs you. Many blessings!
