Nadine,-
Could you email me privately, I have some information regarding being over
weight and attempting pregnancy.
I don't want to go against what Dr. Radnich is saying, as I am not a
doctor, however I am an infertility patient and a doula, and have about
12-13 years in this field, especially in the area of being ample and being
pregnant, and I'd like to give you some information.
Thanks:)
