re: Plus Size & Pregers

I am too exsited to see im not alone. I am expecting my first baby. When i turned out preg i was at 218lbs and now that i am almost 23 weeks i have learned that changing all my eating habbits while preg has made the diffrencce. I have been eating really heathy and cut out completly all the junk food. As iv learned that has helped me out alot because unstead of gaining wieght in this preg i have actually gone down to 214lbs. Iv been working qlongside a nutritionest to keep a strict diet and having basicly my baby feed off and grow off my already exsiating fat. Really proud of myself for being able to have also a better resistance when exsercising now than before preg. Hope things dont change for me though. And hope i inspire some good habbits

I am 36 and feel like I am reading my own situation . VERY much alike with all that you said. I am also expecting my 1st child in June. I thought you couldn't buy maternity clothes in our size, but my Mom bought me a lot at Motherhood Maternity. Love them! I have actually gained 15 pounds in 18 weeks, and top part of my tummy looks like a preggy belly, but bottom still looks the same:/ good luck and keep me posted! I am so glad I am not alone  

Uhg!! i am feeling so huge these past few weeks i have gained 20lbs already and om only 28weeks prego!! i have been eating healthy sometimes i slip and eat pizza but i drink water eat fruits and veggies try to walk as often as i can but with the weather and going back to school i just havent been able to do a lot more

I am so happy to see mommas like me on here. I had an appt yesterday and i am 269 and i am 24 weeks. With my first i was 269 at delivery :-/
its been an eventful pregnancy so far with blood clots and lovenox injections....nice to see us plus sizes have a place on here!

I know im not the only "fat" pregnant person out there.  
Am at 11 weeks now and nothing much has changed for me, no morning sickness or anything, which im happy about. Am excited about the little one but still feel scared and confused at times.
People congratulation me and talking about it makes me nervous. is this weird at all?

I am also plus size.I have 3 children aged 5,4 and 8 months and am 9 weeks pregnant!*whew*!!I was scheduled for weight loss surgery this summer but have to put that on hold until the baby comes in August.Then have to wait another 6 months!Went on soo many diets throughout the years and nothing worked,which is why this was my last resort.Gestational diabetes got me with my last two and hoping its not he case this time around!!

When did you guys first feel the baby move, how many weeks were you?

Quoting Ashley Ann01:" When did you guys first feel the baby move, how many weeks were you?"

I was around 22 when i really knew it was her kicking. being a first timer i really didn't know what i was suppose to be feeling. I am sure I felt her before 22 weeks but thats when I knew for sure.

I was 19 weeks. I felt it sooner with my other kids when i was thinner.

I am glad that I am not alone  I weighed 180 before pregnancy, have gained 15 and I am only 22 weeks. I lost weight in the beginning, but then the holidays hit and BAM 10lbs! But, people really can't tell I am pregnant ..I feel huge, but everyone says I look great (Baby is low in the hips), but eh what do ya know  Anywho, I am craving chocolate like no other! I think this is the culprit for me gaining weight  Glad there are others out there with me

im almost due august 20th yay for us. nd also had gastric bypass surgery. it was also my last option, I could not lose the weight for anything. I also did it soo I could have more children, my right was stopping me in doing sooo. I was down to 220 lbs then I found out I was pregnant with my second child now she's 10 months nd I'm pregnant with my third I haven't gotten back down to where I was b4 my second child but I will after this one since I will be breastfeeding. let me tell you it was the best decision I've ever made. theres certain things I can't eat nd I'm fine with that, just tells me no no you shouldn't have it.

So freakin worried. I just got back from the doctor and I weighed 340 before I got pregnant and now I have gained 15 pounds in three months. I asked the doctor if I could lose weight and she said its possible but do not eat less than 2000 a day. I feel so horrible and sad at the moment. I was hoping to only gain 15 pounds my entire pregnancy. I am not even eating things that fattening. All my stuff is low fat and whole grain. I have totally cut out junk food. I exercise twice a day.......what else can I even do!

Ladys plus size here too! My baby bump looks like a helment top of my belly and rest fat.......... i was at 233 before i got preggo im 23already weeks well today   but i havnt gained im always worry but then i think of that my son is livin in style cuz he has more room and make jokes he got a swimmin pool but i hope i do lose weight after i have him so i can fit in a cute dress on my wedding day  

Im plus sized. Im actually worried. Im due Aug17. I went to my appointment a week ago, I lost 13 pounds in a month, my doctor was a little worried, but said its kinda expected in the first trimester? I was 310lbs before getting pregnant.Now im 287. Is there anyone else having weight lost issues at the wrong time? Would have been great before this pregnancy.
