Anyone Conceived When Underweight?

[Raene]

I am having trouble trusting in my body right now. It's not the diet, which I 110% believe in, but it's the voices from my past bringing up how "dangerous" it is to conceive when underweight. I worry that b/c I'm underweight my baby won't be receiving enough nutrients and will be born underweight as well.
When I conceived my daughter, now 4, I was underweight, probably about the same as I am now. One midwife refused to see me at all, saying that I was high-risk b/c of the weight (nothing else going on...no diabetes, family cancers, etc) and the birth center that I ended up going to pushed for lots of dairy so that I gained 50 lbs in my pregnancy.
Now obviously I would never do such a thing to myself or my baby, but I'm having trouble gaining weight already so I worry about when I become pregnant (we're going to start trying in September). Anyone have advice or personal experiences to share?
I'm 6'1" and about 120 lbs. I was about 132 lbs in January on a cooked vegan diet consisting of probably 70% grains. I've always been thin, so I'm not looking to be the 145-170 or something lbs that "they" consider to be my normal weight.

I have a friend of mine who is underweight and carry four healthy prenancy and they are all very healthy. So i think our body is wise, it will know what to do to keep your child safe and to developp fully. If you have a rich diet with wonderful nutriment, i don't see why you wouldn't be successful to have a healthy little baby. I am not a doctor of course and i recommend to maybe talk to a professional or doctor.

Hey, if you weigh enough to ovulate naturally, I imagine your body "knows" it has enough resources for a child. I often think skinny Hollywood women get medical help ovulating if not IVF too. Anyway, my DH and I were trained NFP teachers, and while we had the whole weight chart thing, that was for women who couldn't conceive or didn't have good fertile cycles and wanted to chart more easily. Anyway, I think you just have a very fertile body that will give your baby everything he/she needs.
