re: Plus Size & Pregers

Quoting Chiara Leigh:" Jackson"

hey I live in Massillon!!  

Hello mommies and mommies to be.. I too am plus size and pregnant and like many of the previous posts I've read, I was in the process of losing weight about 4months before finding out I was expecting. I lost a total of 23lbs prior and am now 279...5ft 3in in height. I'm 8wks 4 days today and have had two miscarriages in the past. I never got past 6 weeks preggo so i'm really excited about my progress thus far. I still maintain my healthy eating habits and walk at least 4 times a week for about 40min with my mama. I want to stay healthy while pregnant and jump back on my intense workouts and healthy eating after a hopeful/healthy delivery. It's nice to see other plus size mother's and mother's to be like myself. Brings a lot of hope especially to those who have had successful/healthy pregnancies. Good luck to you all

hey plus size moms i to am a plus size mom i have 2 kids i am 20w with my 3rd when i got pregnant with my first i was 230 went to 260 i had gd with my first to i was measurable well with my 2nt i was so afraid i would gain even more wight and not get it off to i started at 250 but i only gain 10lbs and didn't get gd i was so happy i did do a thing different sooo with this baby i am 250 and so for i have not gained any wight i am so happy because it lowers my risk of getting gd but i still have 5 more months to go it is nice to no that i am not the only mom that is plus size thank you lady's

Ugh I have 8 weeks left...well like 7 1/2 to be technical. I'm gaining weight and it sucks...I've gained more than my doctor recommended. Sugar is still good and so is my blood pressure.

It's good to see a forum like this, all of my mommy-to-be friends are tiny and it makes me feel TERRIBLE about myself because I'm not skinny and "all belly" like they are. I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my first and up until about 25 weeks you couldn't even tell I was pregnant, I just looked like I ate way too much for dinner. I still don't get all of the attention that skinny girls get, but I've kind of told myself it's a good thing..hey, I haven't had any strangers constantly rubbing my belly while I'm out in public, so I guess that's a good thing.

Thankfully my OB did tell me that when I delivered I would definitely be in the negative weight wise - I've gained 8 pounds throughout my whole pregnancy so far and plan to breastfeed. I'm hoping that losing the weight from the baby and seeing my weight drop below my pre-pregnancy weight will motivate me to lose even more *fingers crossed*

Congratulations to all of you mommies!

I keep seeing pics of ladies similar builds to me, and wondering why they looked pregnant at 28 weeks and I don't :s
I know everyone is different, and carries differently, but I wish I could look preggo before I pop..

Im 34 weeks pregnant and I have lost 50+ lbs during my pregnancy. i started out at 270 and am now down to 225 lbs. I am still loosing about a lb a week and I am told that i will weigh a lot less than i did once I have my son August 16. Has anyone else ever lost this much weight?

P.S. My son is right on schedule for his weight gain. He is healthy and active as ever. Hes gaining weight but im loosing weight how confusing?!?

We just got our ultrasound and found out the sex of the baby! Its a girl!!! We're so excited. We chose the name Azalynn Marie.
