She was huge!!! (7 lb 4 oz and the ultrasound showed I was only 35 weeks instead of 36 lol) so thanks to her I was huge! She is only 11 months only and I just recently lost 20 pounds and am still a little chunky..

Quoting Earline Huber-Winters:" Yesss!!! im so glad as well to see a topic for us plus sise prego ladys like us, im only 16 weeks 17 ... [snip!] ... do you think that includes all the weight from the baby and fluids? Thanks again for posting something for plus size

your not alone there,at 26 weeks i was 270 pounds not sure what i am now at 31 weeks but yes my consultant said that she doesnt want me to gain more than a stone which so far at that point at 26 weeks i only gained 8lb,it can be done but everyone is different,as for maternity clothes it sucks there is so many nice things out there and i cant find none to fit me at all it sucks,had to buy mens t-shirts lmao

Quoting LadyKiki:" Plus size here  . I weighed 265 two years ago. I had some health problems and the doctor told me I had ... [snip!] ... to get clothes at. My mom took me shopping this weekend and was able to find a few tops at size 28/30, but nothing higher."

I didn't start gaining until i was 30 weeks. I was losing weight until i was 20 weeks and then stayed there until 30 weeks. I wouldn't be too worried. My doctor said that being plus size is different. I was afraid of losing weight but he said it was normal. So, as long as your doctors aren't concerned I wouldn't be. But if it concerns you, talk to the doctors about it.

Thank u sooo much! I really ddnt llknow if i should be concerend. As far as my doctor hes has never really said anything so i ddnt know if i should worry or not.

Im glad im not the only one either. Im pregnant with my second and 5 weeks. I am 245lbs. I already feel like my shorts are cutting my circulation off at times and are just not comfy at all. I just feel fat in everything I wear. When did you second moms start to shoe? Ppl keep telling me that u show faster with ur second cus everything has stretched out once already! But im plus size not that skinny girl!

I started shopping a 13 weeks! My pants still fit but i wasnt comfy anymore. I just turned 18 weeks today and i am all belly! Congrats on ur blessing  

Wow I never realized there are so many of us out there. This is my 3rd pregnancy and i have been plus size all 3 times. For some reason i tend to lose weight in the beginning of my pregnancies. So I am 21weeks and I've lost 14lbs. I'm very proud but worried I'll gain more than I should when I'm farther along.

I think its important for people to know that just because I'm over weight, it doesn't mean my baby will be. Both of my other 2 sons were born healthy and at normal weight. Even now they're both very active and are skinny. (btw my kids are 7 & 5yrs old)

It's so nice seeing other plus size mommies. I have a page on fb for women like us, but I'm not very active on it because there are more arguments than anything.
This is my 3rd baby and I'm bigger than what I was with my first 2.

Hi, So Im plus size too, go us!

This is my first pregnancy Im having a girl in Oct. most likely early do to complacation. When I found out wasnt to happy, Im young, it was an accident but Im super excited now, Im 19 and before I found out I was prego, I was about 220 and now 266 I hate weighing myself so I dont do it much untill the doctors I go to which is now every week do to the complactions, I brook my pelivis almost 3 yrs ago in aug. and shes wanting to come early and im almost 30 weeks along hopefully she stays in till im 38 weeks. I wish I had a cute belly like all the skinny girls, I feel like im just getting fatter. is anyone else having a c-section or have had one? Im kinda nervous cuz I might have to be put asleep because were my scare is postioned at on my back from my accident they might not beable to give me an epidural.. I dont mind being plus size, but I have noticed alot of us "bigger girls" who are prego are having a c-section.. is it cuz we are bigger or is it for other reasons? and is anyone having the same kind of complactions as me with preterm labor and on med. to stop contrations it would be nice to know Im not the only one  

Quoting Aiemzee:" Sarah and Carmen, I too am plus sized and pregnant (for the first time.) I actually had an embarrassing ... [snip!] ... so I can be "cute pregnant" like you guys are saying. I'm due Nov. 26th but have a scheduled C-section Nov. 19th right now."

BIGGER THE BETTER! dont let anyones comments get you down. screw society and there rude remarks about plus size girls. your beautiful inside , and thats what it really all boils down too!

Im plus size also. Feels good to relate to others! Before I fiund out I was expecting my first baby boy I had lost almost 80 pounds went from 298 to 234 and I was a diva! Looking fine and in shape. Im niw back up to 269 at 28 weeks of pregnancy. I felt so confident when I lost all that weight that was the smallest I had been in a very long time. But iys ok, its all for my lil chunky bunny. After I have him I plan to get back to that size so I can be back as confident as I was before

Hi, I am 19weeks and have not gaines a lb. I started out at 219 and at my last appointment I was 218.2lbs. My baby measures right on track and is growing like she is supposed too. My dr. just said that by 32weeks I need to start gaining a little weight.
