re: Plus Size & Pregers

I am too!
When my BF and I started saying almost 4 years ago, I was big, 350+ big. At the time I found out I was pregnant in July, (day before BF's bday)  , I had lost 125 pounds.
I couldn't get pregnant until I did because I found out I had PCOS. Considering my age and weight, me and baby are doing well.
I was a lot smaller pregnant with my first daughter, I didn't get too big, my belly is bigger now then it was when I went in to have my first.
The only thing I don't like about my pregnancy this big scar on my belly from a surgery as a baby, and how much my boobs have blown up again.
Good luck to you all! I can't wait to have my baby!!

I'm plus size and 37 weeks pregnant with my first baby!! I lost 15lbs at the beginning of my pregnancy and have only gained 18.2 lbs my entire pregnancy.. In the beginning I was concerned about gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, but I have been very lucky to have a very healthy pregnancy! I also wish I had that very pregnant look, but I didn't start to look really pregnant until about 28 weeks, now my belly is huge! The only thing I had a major issue with is finding maternity clothes. Not only am I plus size, I'm 5'10 and for some reason, every store or website seems to think that all plus size women are short or average. So I spent my entire pregnancy in leggings!

i am also plus size and 17 weeks along now i had lost 50 lbs bout 6 months before i got pg but i had slowly started gaining it back and when i found out i was still 15 lbs below where i was when i first started losing i have only gained 5 lbs so far hoping to kinda keep it like that and not really gain much if anything. it just seems with this one, one week i will be sick all week and the next week it's like im staring to death. but all taht has started easing up some. this is my 4 pregenancy.

I think I'm in the same boat with yall!! I was told by my doctor that I wouldn't get pregnant until I lost some weight. I lost about 12 pounds and bam!! I'm pregnant after trying to a year and a half. Now my doctor still wants me to lose weight which is pissing me off cuz I'm already having problems with a cyst, back pain (previous car accidents) and having to come off a few medications for anxiety. I've had my doctor for my other children but he's only focusing on my weight this go around and it's starting to piss me off!!

Ok im sure this might have been asked here before but... there are sooo many pages here lol.. I am a plus size woman right now I weigh 392 pregnant with baby #2.. I started feeling my baby move at around 13 weeks.. Now I am 16weeks and there are noticable movements even from the outside!! Big kicks.. Is this normal for someone my size? I have yet to see the ob, due to insurance issues.. I will have my first u/s and checkup on valentines day.. Do you think it may be twins.. Did anyone else around my size have this happen?

i didn;t have that happen i weigh 369 right now, i have been feeling movements for a few weeks now but nothign to where u can notice it on the oustisde, could be twins or you could be farther along than what u thought u were. good luck on your appt on v-day, i go to the doc on the 12 figure he will schedule my us then. i am so ready to see baby haven't had a us done yet. anxious to see what i am having with #4

Yeah its so weird being this far along and still havent had an ultrasound... I know theres a baby in there but I dont know what else is going on inside ya know lol.. I really hope im just further along.. Twins are precious but not for me lol... guess we will see!

OK so I am plus size as well about 299 as of my last appointment. I am pregnant with baby number one and im 23 weeks along I feel some movement every now and then is it normal that I dont feel movement all the time? When I did my last us the baby only weight 14oz and the nurse said he was still too little for me to feel anything is this normal please help before I keep thinking somethings wrong

When was your last u/s? I know @ 22 wks, baby should weigh approx 15oz. Mine is ahead a little :/ however, I still only feel him every now and then. Plus size women won't feel movement as much. Plus, I think my baby boy is in my back most of the time, which makes it harder to notice. I'm sure you are fine   good luck! Do you know what you are having?

I will be 20 weeks monday with my second. I am starting to feel some flutters pretty often and can feel him kicking my cervix ALL the time since like week 18 lol ( I have a cervical stitch, so it may be different for me than other women) But I never felt my daughter move during my first pregnancy. I could see her moving, but I only felt her move a total of two times. she was born 8 weeks early and i had an anterior placenta, but it was uncommon that i couldnt feel her. maybe when you go back ask the tech if you have an anterior placenta, I worried constantly because I was extremely high risk as well and was told that it was not normal that i didnt feel the baby but she was fine   she is two now.

Movement last night and today are insane.. I have felt this baby move at least 30 times today since about 7am! I am starting to get really concerned there is more than one

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone thank you so much for posting! This is my first pregnancy(a boy) I couldnt be more excited. I am at this point 231, with a pre-pregnancy weight of 240. I did loose 20 lbs when i got pregnant due to morning sickness three times a day but none the less my medicare nurse started into me about being obese. She continued to tell me that since i was obese that my child would be obese and i wasnt thinking of his health when i chose to get pregnant. It really wasnt expected as we werent really trying but we werent preventing either. It made me cry so hard that my fiancee had to calm me down. He always tells me i am beautiful and makes me feel good about myself or tries to but i have always been a bit self consoius about it. The nurse then told me that my weight could harm the baby by making him diabetic and that was considered a form of child endangerment. I felt so bad because at this point my doctor hadnt really been telling much of what was going on in my body and i litterally had no idea as i really didnt have anyone to talk to about. So i thought i was gonna be a horrible mother and person because what i did to my baby. It took me weeks to work thru my issues on that subject. Granted i was already carefull about what i ate but i felt like if i even had a cookie or ice cream it was gonna do harm. So its nice to see that there are more curvy women. I dont get to use a computer often so i dont get to post much but this is the first time i have seen this topic!.
