re: Plus Size Mommies & Mommies 2 Be (w/Pics)

Quoting SusanP [HBC]:“ You are an inspiration!”

LoL hardly! I am just a brave first time mommy who isn't afraid to show off her fat stomach! At least there's something growing in there!!!

well I really appreciate you showing this pic, cause I too have mounds and I'm a little sad that I won't have the cute round preggo. But it's nice to know that there's other plus sizers like that too. Congrats on the baby and good luck!

Quoting Ash +1 *GIG*:“ Yes ma'am they do!”

I will go and search them! I did find some pregnancy pants with the expanding belly area at a garage sale for 1.50 and they were motherhood. Love them!

Quoting Mom_2_Be-01-27-09:“ On my profile i have pics of me before i was pregnant. None close to my belly but you can sorta get the idea in the dolphin background pic!”

Dont feel bad at all cause if your hubs likes it who gives a f**k right lol now I have to admit I am ashamed of how I look but my hubs likes it so I really dont care I do but dont I have self esteem issues i guess but OOOO well who do i have to impress

Yay for mounds! At my heaviest (about 5 years ago) I was 235, and had the double hump belly, too. Then I had gallbladder disease and lost 75 pounds (which left my tummy mushy). I delivered my daughter at 205, and now, at almost 6 months PP I'm 185. Big can be very beautiful...especially when you're pregnant. Thanks for posting your pic, momma! And congrats on your pregnancy!

Thanks and you too! I agree i may never have that nice round bump til right before i am due but i dont care. I feel its important to show all sizes! I see all the time cute baby bumps who are the same weeks as me or lower. I want others to see that Hey i may be overweight but im still the same as you. I just have a little more padding between the baby and me!

Motherhood has some pretty awesome plus size maternity pants   You have to try them on though because they don't all fit the same for some crazy reason. I bought a pair of khaki pants there that fit perfect yet the black ones in the same exact size and style wouldn't fit

Yeah. I have been looking on Ebay. We are trying to save money. I actually just bought 3 nursing shirts and a cute top on ebay. I have been looking on there for motherhood stuff. So far unsuccessful. Though I have only outgrown 1 pair of shorts. So I am good for now! But soon.. lol

Hi momma 2 be i love how u are so not ashamed unfortunately i am some. i workin on trying to accept it but i am 20 and still in kinda the highschool mind set of i am not pretty unless i am in a size 5 or smaller. BUT i am working on it and am really starting to come into my own and be comfortable i posted my first pics on here last week and my husband has been a really big comfort by telling me i am the most beautiful woman he knows so he is my rock when i get down about it. i had the mounds u describe until i got about 25 26 weeks and then it was like BAM hey she is prego lol and i love motherhood maternity's secret fit belly thing and their pants it is all very resonably priced and i have pretty much worn them from like month 2 through now and i will continue to wear them as long as i can lol.

I wore regular clothes until I was 6 or 7 months pregnant with both kids.. I actually hardly bought any maternity clothes the first time around since what I had to wear to work fit the entire time I was pregnant   Luckily I was able to fit right back into my pre-pregnancy clothes right when I got home from the hospital so I didn't have to buy new clothes afterward either

I can relate. Funny Story. I went out and bought a Bikini about 3 summers ago. I wore it to the pool and some 16 year old girls were laughing and calling me a fat cow. I walked over to them and said "excuse me but do i know you?" they all laughed and said theres no way they would know me. I said back "well i love my body and i feel comfortable in this swimming suit, and if you have a problem with that which makes you make fun of people who are a size 2 then you have insecurities in yourself that you need to deal with. Accept people for who they are not what they are" Then walked away. 
I wore that bikini all summer long. I could care less!
