Baby Birth....
My sister is trying to get pregnant and she came to me to have a personal talk the other day. She is overweight (290 lbs) or something like that...and she wanted to know if she could still get pregnant at her weight or if it is harder then the average person to become pregnant.

Most of the woman I've known over 250 lbs. have all miscarried when they had babies.
It not be harder for her to get pregnant, but it sure will be a lot more likely for her to lose the baby early on.

Well, yes she can still get pregnant, although some studies have shown it might be harder for an obese women to conceive. Obesity can also stop a woman’s menstrual cycle, and if that has happened, she can’t conceive. She should see her doctor if she is concerned about her fertility.
At 290 lbs she almost certainly is obese and that definitely puts both the mother and child at serious risk for complications even when/if she does get pregnant.

You sister should be STRONGLY encouraged to loose weight before becoming pregnant. It will make everything easier and everyone healthier.

She definitely still can! Assuming she's still going through her menstral cycle (which she should, at her weight) everything should be completly fine, regardless as to what her weight is! (:
Best of luck to her.
XOXO

Of course you sister could still get pregnant! There is no reason why she couldn't! She has female organs like everyone else doesn't she? Then why not? Her weight has nothing to do with how she could get pregnant or not.

Not at all. That's nonsense. If she wants to get pregnant, she can. She's a woman, and her feminine organs are working properly. Its not hard at all. She should mostly calculate her ovulations so she'll be able to get pregnant expectingly.
Just tell her to watch what she intakes, as certain food now-a-days aren't best for embryos.
Tell her I wish her the best of luck on her future pregnancy.
