Does the extra weight put me at greater risk of a miscarriag
Excess weight does not contribute to miscarriage; however, PCOS, which is common in overweight women, does create a higher statistical chance of pregnancy loss than in the general population. The reason is related to hormone imbalance. Both elevated LH and testosterone are linked to miscarriage, as is insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia. There are treatments available that help to minimize these risks.
