Yes, obese, and even very obese (I refuse to use the term "morbid", it's downgrading) women can have just as safe of a pregnancy as a thinner woman. Your doctor will advise you to gain only about 15 lbs. maximum, and you will have to re-adjust your eating habits to make sure the baby has the proper nutrition it needs. If you have trouble doing this or eating healthy, just think of this : Do you really want YOUR baby to be eating that 800 calorie, 15 trans-fat gram Big Mac? I am 5'6" tall and 175 lbs. and I am still considered obese. Being in my 2nd pregnancy, I just try to snack on fruits and veggies I like to keep my calorie-packed cravings in control.

Why do women need more body fat than men?

Body fat is our bodies' energy reserve, in case food would get scarce. Women have adapted to carry more body fat so they have more spares in case they should become pregnant when food is scarce. The fat would then be turned into nutrition for them and the baby. Women with very little body fat may stop menstruating, nature's way of preventing them from having babies when there's not enough food around.
