re: Plus Size & Pregers

Quoting Emma'sMommy1207:" i've really been stressing over my weight. it seems like i gained about 15 pounds immediately with this pregnancy (2nd). any one else go through this?"

I did great the first 7 weeks, only gained about 4 lbs. Now I'm 20 weeks and I've gained a total of about 18 lbs and I'm only half way.

Im a first time plus size mum and im now 39 weeks... in my first 12 weeks i lost 12 pounds due to going to the gym and eating healthy as i was dieting and didn't know i was pregnant till then,,, i have carried on with long walks and light exercise along witht the healthy eating and all together have put on 7 pounds.. its not a bad thing to lose weight during pregnancy as long as your baby is growing healthy and getting all the vitamins its needs.. they use your body to get most of the stuff that they need when your a bit bigger anyway

Hi mummas!

2nd time plus size mumma here. I was 319lbs when I found out right up until the birth of my DS put on 44bs in 16 months, I was 363 when I found out I'm now 22+1 with a baby girl and currently weigh 338lbs. Will be BFing this time around so hopefully I lose more weight and going to start walking again soon (it's been monsoon here so haven't been able to get out of the house)

'm going to be 21 weeks pregnant on Friday. The doctor didn't want me to gain anymore than 15 pounds and so far I am so proud of my self for not gaining any weight! Which means I should weigh even less after I have this baby. It is really hard when you are bigger and the doctor talks about your weight...at least that's how I feel. I always get down about seeing the tiny women with cute bellies but when we get far enough along we get cute bellies too. At least my husband still thinks I'm beautiful.

4th pregnancy, but 3rd being overweight. I gained a TON of weight with my first and haven't been able to shed the pounds since. Granted, I never exercised as much as I could have been... I generally eat pretty well. I also had just started to lose some weight, and then found out I was pregnant. It wasn't drastic, it had been about 7lbs from my previous weight. But it was something! And I was happy for that!

This time now, I'm being more conscientious about the weight gain. I'm having twins, So twice the everything! And I'm really hoping to NOT gain 2x the weight along with it. :S At nearly 13wks, I have lost 6lbs since my 1st appointment 4 weeks ago. I have my next midwife appt on Monday, so here's hoping it's good!

I was large with my first, and this time around just a little bigger and I have no real "bump" yet. I do, but it's hard to tell between that and me lol. I'm 29weeks today so doubt I'll get that cute noticeable bump throughout the rest of my pregnancy. I gained 1lb from what I was before I got pregnant lol, so kinda happy. Not sure why I'm not gaining but doctor isn't concerned. Less baby fat to get rid of.

With my second and third, I didn't really "show" until I was about 30-32wks, just because there was so much leftover from my first. But It did become a noticeable "baby bump" then.
