as I have:
was there any time BEFORE conception of the overweight child that you used oral contraceptives? Its just a nagging thought that I have and would seriously like to hear from you.

I was on oral contraceptives for about a year when I felt not having a monthly period was not for me so I decided to stop taking them and go back to using the IUD. I was waiting for my periods to restart when I found out I was pregnant with my (now)overweight child. I just read on yahoo that oral contraceptives can increase the chance of your child having alergies, what if all those missed periods (as a result of taking the pill) sort of added up to a bigger child? I know I sound irrational or maybe a little crazy, but what if it did?

I don't believe birth control has anothing to do with it. I am 1 of 4 kids and am the only one who was overweight growing up and the only one growing up overweight now and my mother never used birth control before any of us.... My daughter was "normal" - she is now 7- however because of financial reasons we had to temporarily move in with my grandparents who would watch her while I was at work and I'd get home and hear, "oh she was hungry and would you believe she ate 3 cans of raviolie and then she wanted a snack before bed so grandpa made her two hot dogs" I had no idea this was going on until my size 8 wearing daughter now can barely fit into a size 14!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now i'm trying to get things straightened around.
FRUSTRATING!

I used birth control pills before the conception of my tall thin child and didn't use the pill before conception of my shorter stockier child. I did however use a low dose pill while nursing our shorter child, which nags at me.
