Nora, There is no specific data that suggests that degrees of obesity are related to increasing risk of pregnancy loss. However, as an individual becomes overweight, the risk of so many things increases, thus I have always counseled patients to attempt to be in the best possible shape at the time of conception. I have cared for several women who had recurrent pregnancy loss and the only factor they had was obesity. Unfortunately, this is not a controlled study and there are so many things about recurrent pregnancy loss that we don't understand... Lynn
