re: Plus Size & Pregers

posted 19th Nov
I am plus size and I can tell you that I am 5 months along and I have only gained one pound. I asked my doctor and it is completely normal for a plus size person not to gain weight. I am not worried and you shouldn't either the baby and you will be just fine

I was 189 Prepregancy an now il 142 an the only thing that stopped me from lookin ridiculously overweight was my flat midsection ( which is bizarre, due ti the fact I had lost a whipping 100 lbs first weighing in at 160.... Yes I use to b 265) only problem is I'm almost back there wit a new rounded belly to accompany me   .. I love that I'm having a lil boy, but have to admitt I'm a bit selfish an insecure with my appearance now... Im only 27 weeks an gained so much still have a long journey of weight to arrive

Add another to the Plus Size and Preggers list  I am 7 weeks with my first child and I am starting out wearing 20/22 pants size. I am concerned that I won't be able to wear anything but stretch pants later on in my pregnancy. It's hard enough to find "cute and stylish" clothing at the size I am now. I am new to this site (stumbled across it on Facebook) but would love to share my experiences and hear any suggestions and stories along the way as most of my friends either don't plan to have children or already have some time ago.

If your willing to spend around 20-40 bux there are online stores, such as jc ppenney and others that offer cute maternity jeans. I however just cant afford it so Ive made yoga pants my best friend. I too started out a 20/22 and i still can wear my 22 jeans but theyre snug, so i only wear them when i have to. Ive put on 5 lbs and im 21 weeks tomorrow. I wish you the best of luck in your pregnancy!

Excited to see I'm not alone!!!! This is my 4th pregnancy and right now I am starting this pregnancy bigger (234lb size 20) than I did with my other 3. I'm a little worried about how much weight I'm going to gain but most of all I'm worried about my blood sugars. I had problems with GD with 2 of my pregnancies and boarder line high blood pressure with 1. I was really planning on losing weight before I got pregnant again, but it didn't happen. I try to eat healthy and I am trying to make it to the gym 3x a week but I just don't have the energy and cooking makes me sick so we have been eating more take out   I am only 8 almost 9wks so I am hoping once this morning sickness passes I can get back on the road of not eating out.

Hey ladies! how are you all doing!? this is my 3rd pregnancy, my first I weighed 165 and then I ballooned up after I had her due to depression.. few yrs went by and landed at 240.. then 270... second pregnancy in 2011 I went back to 240.. and now my 3rd I am 255. :/ I just want to get this weight under control and i'm nervous about gaining.. I think a lot of my problem has to do with not being able to poop! hahaha srry TMI but its true, I've always been binded up and being pregnant does NOT help. I need to drink more water too. I just want someone to notice I am preg and not just fat lol.

I know the feeling about not feeling baby yet. My friend is almost 22 weeks and I'll be 20 weeks on Thursday. I have just recently started to feel what I "think" is the baby nothing that is "Oh yeah that's the little one!" I always fret about something being wrong but I just tell myself that i probably am feeling baby and to just relax. It will hopefully come in the next few weeks for you!!!

ts good to see other plus sized ladies up here. I am 32 weeks pregnant with my first. It definitely has been a struggle to be able to find clothes to where. I was beginning to think that there weren't any other plus sized women who got pregnant because it was so hard for me to find clothes that actually fit me AND my belly. lol

Try woman within, they are really inexpensive, not the most stylish but they worked for pregnancy #1!!

Anyway I just found out today I am expecting again !!
