'1000-lb Best Friends' star Ashley Sutton may need to put her family plans on hold following her latest visit to Dr. Charles Procter. Ashley has long hoped to experience motherhood, recently checking in with her doctor to assess her fertility. While this chapter would mark a new beginning, her dream may need to wait, at least for now.

In '1000-lb Best Friends' Season 3, Episode 3, Ashley weighed in at around 280 pounds, marking a loss of about 4 pounds. Though this progress is a win for her, it’s not yet enough for a safe pregnancy. Dr. Procter praised Ashley's efforts but explained that she still needs to lose 100-150 pounds to be in optimal health for pregnancy. Adding to this, Ashley’s age is also a factor, at 39 and approaching 40 in January 2025, timing is crucial. With both her weight and age presenting challenges, Ashley now faces a waiting period of at least a year to continue her weight loss journey and, hopefully, pursue her dream of having a child.
