Overweight during pregnancy, complications, hormones for obesity

29 years old is a great age, all life is aheadthe goal is already there, it remains to achieve it. Monica Riley at this age was a rather strange, in the eyes of an ordinary person, goal. She wanted to be so fat to lose the ability to move. Monica's husband (yes, she is married) was supported in her endeavor. So much so that she poured milkshakes down her throat through a funnel, once she drank a whole carafe of this drink. Drunk draw on 3500 calories. For comparison: this is a two-day norm of calories for a person involved in sports. Or three days for a girl on a diet. In general, Monica consumed 10 thousand calories per day. She was walking toward her dream with leaps and bounds - the arrow on the scales was already showing 317 kilograms. “It seemed to me that, still lying on the bed, so big and majestic, I would look like a queen,” explained Monica.A photo: GettyImages The girl's mom was desperate, by the way. But she couldn’t influence her daughter. And then suddenly Monica found herself pregnant. She could not believe such a miracle - once she suffered two miscarriages, later she was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries, and Monica was sure that she was sterile. Obesity generally does not contribute to fertility, like. “When I realized that I was pregnant, I was shocked. A positive pregnancy test meant nothing - this had happened a couple of times before, and each time the test was wrong. But then I did an ultrasound, and there was no doubt, ”says Monica. - I was scared that I would again have a miscarriage. And at the same time I was happy - I always wanted to have a real family. ”Now Monica suddenly had a new goal - to become a good mother. But for this it was necessary to part with all his crazy kilos. After all, with such a weight it will be difficult to bear the baby and give birth. The woman began to lose weight.A photo: GettyImagesDiet, some kind of physical activity - 107 kilograms slipped from Monica pretty quickly. But there was still too much to call Monica healthy in the full sense of the word. Complications began during pregnancy: pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, pressure surges, pain in the pelvic region. In general, it was difficult to call Monica’s wonderful pregnancy. As a result, a woman was given a caesarean on the 33rd week. Monica started having such severe swelling that it was dangerous to try and continue to maintain the pregnancy. Baby Michelle was born tiny - weighing only 2 kilograms. Next to her monumental mom, who paddles a hundred times more, she looked even smaller than she really was. “When Michelle got it, she didn’t scream. And did not even breathe. The doctors had to save the life of my child, as soon as she was born, ”says Monica. - I was terrified. For the first time I saw my baby only after a day and a half. And then she began to cry: she was completely entangled with wires and tubes. ”As it turned out, Michelle began to breathe herself only after two hours. In addition, she had a heart defect - curable, but still dangerous. Yes, and reflux - Michelle spit up everything that she managed to eat. Because of this, the baby has dropped not only the weight, which is already small, but also the heart rate.Photo:GettyImages…Looking at that tiny face, those tiny hands, Monica realized that she was happy. And also that she had to take herself even more seriously. Only a month and a half later, the mother and daughter returned home. The heart monitor was removed from Michelle, she was developing normally. True, breastfeeding was never established. But Monica swears: this will be the last mistake she made with Michelle. “Healthy food, only healthy. No candy. Except for Halloween. We want her to love fruits and vegetables,” says Monica. By the way, the young mother does not regret at all that she gained so much extra weight. “Fast food is so delicious. But I can no longer stick to my old general life. I have a child, so I don’t want to be sedentary anymore. I want to walk in the park with her, go shopping together, play on the playground,” Monica hopes. Now she is about to undergo a gastric bypass. The woman is going to lose weight to at least 135 kilos. Or even 110. But no more – Monica likes to be plump and soft. But Monica’s husband says that he doesn’t care whether she loses weight or not. “I don’t care what size she is. I love her as a person, and that will never change,” he said.
