It is bad so get rid of the eXXXtra weight. I want to tell you something amazing and post a link that will blow your mind, but keep in mind it is published by the NYTimes so if there was room for bias it would be there.
Since America is the land of the free and the highest obesity rate their has been some problems arising like always with obesity, not the free part.
The study has shown that the increasing amount of obese woman coming into hospitals to give birth are having trouble in labor or after birth. And on top of that the hospitals have to put out more money to compensate for the obese females needs; larger beds, wheel chairs, equipment..etc
Not only is it difficult for a obese to give birth. It is a well proven statistic that one and five woman; being the woman that are obese giving birth are much more likely to have children with birth defects and/or need c-sections

It is a sad scenario, be aware of your weight and take preventative measures to keep the weight off and lose excess weight if you have too much.
I used Thyromine to get rid of my excess weight and prepare myself for childbirth.
