re: Plus Size & Pregers

just went to the doctor today, and I weigh 238lb, I'm 29wks as of today!, At my 23 week appt. I weigh 238lb also, I started out 228 lb during this pregnancy. My boyfriend said i don't even look like a weigh that much.. how sweet of him lol

Im plus size and preggers too. My worry, like yours, was if I would "look" pregnant and not just fat lol. Im currently 29 wks and now I look more pregnant than I ever have! It literally happened overnight. I was losing weight too before I got pregnant, which I honestly think helped me to be able to conceive. I lost 90 lbs in about 2 1/2 yrs. I was at the lowest weight I'd ever been at in a very long time, so a part of me was disappointed I was pregnant because I'd come so far with my weight loss (I feel bad for feeling that way) but I realized that I can lose the weight again. I've gained almost 50 lbs (20 lbs of it was in the first month or 2, I went way overboard with my eating lol) but I've evened out since then. I'm so excited to meet my little boy, he's our first child, my hubby is super excited too!

Congrats! on your little boy heather! This is my first child also, and i think because i was working out and losing weight i finally conceived after 2 years of trying.

I am a plus size pregnant mom to be for the 5th time..(Pray for me everyone..lol) I was so shocked when my doctor tol me that I was that I told her to check the test stick and urine again.I was losing weight and buying new, smaller clothes and then I get the news. I'm 37 and was ready to go party, but I love being pregnant. My daughters r 18,17, and 9 and my son is 11. We all just found out that I'm expecting another girl and my son said he is living with his Grandma and not coming back home because that is too many girls in the house..lol.
I am considered a high-risk pregnancy because of my age and weight. I don't have Gestational Diabetes nor do I suffer with high blood pressure. I do see 2 doctors now, but I just adore them because they want to make sure me and my baby are doing fine. I have had 4 ultrasounds and will have 2-3 more to go before my baby is born, which is fine by me. I do want to really"look" like I'm pregnant like the thinner moms, but I am so happy with how I look now. My baby is growing like a weed. She will be tall like her dad(he is 6ft. 8in. tall). I am even shopping now. I am just so excited. My daughters have picked put a name for her and my best friend and cousin want to throw me a baby shower. I am ready for it all. To all my plus size mommas, you are so beautiful and with exercise and a meal plan we all will lose the weight after our bundles of joy are born.

Thank goodness there are others!!! I'm 5'8 , start and current weight 205and. I'm now 17 weeks, this is my first pregnancy, so I really didnt know what to expect being a bigger girl .... Ive really been trying to not gain weight for as long as possible and keep myself active, which I must admitt has been hard to do. Sometimes I feel as if Im to tried to go to work or even get out of bed, but that may be due to Im also bipolar and right now I can not take any meds. But I have found that pregnancy is pretty mood protected. Anyways do any of you lovely ladies have any tips or even workout recommendations for me? All is welcome  )

Well i am 27 weeks with my second child. I have a 2 year old lil boy. When i found out that i was pregnant i weighed 278 pounds. Now im up to 312 pounds. I have high blood pressure and diabetes. I take insulin 4 times a day and check it 4 times. I been having panics attack lately and on top i have a ear infection,sore throat,and bad headaches.

ol holy smurf1 i was gonna read all the comments on here till i realized there were over 1800 pages! haha

i always wanted to take belly progress pictures when i finally got pregnant but now i cant bc i probably will look about the same at 7 months as i do at 3 haha!

and i hate ultrasounds! dont get me wrong i LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing my baby! but i hate that thing squishing around my gut that i have to try to see over to see the monitor bc my ob doesnt realize that putting the screen down by my waist and standing in front of it means mama cant see!!! lol damn.

When did you plus size mommies start to feel your baby kick...im 19 weeks and sometimes feel a little flick but did anyone feel anything more???? When did you actually feel big movements??? my youngest is almost 7 so i kinds forgot when i felt these things plus i was like 40lbs lighter then.

Yesss!!! im so glad as well to see a topic for us plus sise prego ladys like us, im only 16 weeks 17 on Sunday i understand im still early on and beyond happy to be preggo cuz me and my husband have been trying for 3 years and after loosing 35 lbs and not even a week after he came home from Deployment i was prego (i thought i just had the flu) lol like i said i was happy but also upset cuz i feel like i wont have that cute lil baby bump i wear a size 20-22 it seems impossible to find maternity clothes i was upset when i seem Walmart had some but only go to size XL REALLY that will fit one of my legs UGH but Target has some cute ones if im lucky to find something that fits........ Another Question i had for you ladys is my Dr. said i can only gain 15lbs is that even possible & do you think that includes all the weight from the baby and fluids?

Thanks again for posting something for plus size :-)

i feel the same way but doct said if i gain 12lbs she will be happy but now since the morning sickness has some what subsided i am actually eating and craving all kinds of stuff but i wish i was tiny also

@ carmen

hey i'm plus sized too and i am 38 weeks and even being this far along ppl still cant tell i'm preggers and it sucks. i thought at the beginning of my pregnancy that because i was over weight that i wouldnt gain any major amount of weight but i put on about 30 to 40 pound and i feel fatter than ever but i got a good guy beside me, that tells me every time i say god i'm so fat, that i'm not fat i'm pregnant   gotta love someone that supportive. i have a friend who is two months behind me on being pregnant and she looks like shes gonna pop and than looks at me and says i dont even look pregnant, it's really sad. i'm really scared that my plus size well have a negative effect on my baby or the birth. i would love to just get it over wit so i could know if my baby girl is ok and nothing bad happens during the birth. guess i'm just writing this to get some plus sized support from all the plus sized moms and soon to be moms out there....so i know i'm not alone

I am plus size. I was about 270 and lost 25lbs then got prego. Not what I wanted at the moment but very excited. I have only gained about 6/7lbs and only have 3 months to go. My baby boy is due November 11th. I am extremely scared that i will have to get a c-section. At first I thought that I would never show because of my size. But now that I'm showing I think I just look fatter lol. I am very excited for him to be here and start to loose this weight again!!! Even though I don't expect to gain that much weight in the next 3 months.
