I am joining!
I'm a big girl, and pregnant! My Dr has told me that there are no real dangers that I have in store for me, even though I'm bigger. No one has ever said anything to me about being big... or older(I'm 34... turning 35 mid september)
I don't have any fear... and I don't think anyone else should either!!!! We should all enjoy our pregnancies!!!!!

I'm plus size too and will also turn 35 befor bubba is born. I have recently lost two stone which I felt help me get pregnant. I must admit I am nervous about putting the weight back on as I know how tiring that extra weight makes you.

I am 6+3 and have put 2lb on but my boobs have already gotten bigger and I am already super blessed in that department just hoping they don't get too much bigger x

Me too! I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow and rather than being excited, I am worried about my weight being an issue. This is my first baby and I am having nightmares about the scan and the ultrasound person not being able to see through my ample tum!

Another Big mummy to be here

I am 24, this is my second (i have a 2 and a half year old), I am 5 ft 5 and currently weight 18 stone6. Started off my pregnanct at 18 stone 8 so doing well lol. my BMI is 44.

I didnt give my midwife a chance to mention my weight... i got in there first! She didnt really mention it much because i said i knew i had to watch what i eat and try not put any weight on but keep it steady.

I have a lot of fears about this pregnancy (more the birth) because me first was a complete mess up!

LadyMuch dont worry about the u/s... they may not be able to get as good a pic but trust me.. they will see baby

they may just have to press down a bit harder.. they say baby perfect on my sister and she is also a big lady (uk size 28/30 and close to the 20 stone mark).

wishing all you girls so much luck through your pregnancy xxx

I had a scan today and had to hold my delightful tummy flap out of the way lol, saw the bubba just fine though

LadyMuck80 · Aug 13th, 2012, 16:08 PM

Thanks guys...I have been following slimming world for the last couple of years and lost about 4 stone but as soon as I got pregnant I couldn't face fresh fruit and salad (which I loved pre-pregnancy) and could only stomach the plainest food...think kiddie food of breaded chicken and peas. I feel like I am coming out of that now and am slowly bringing back lots of fresh food back into my diet.

I'm a similar weight to you, Sethsmummy but a wee bit taller. Like you say, desperately trying not to put on more than a few pounds but not going to be stressing over it too much. x

Love this thread! I am plus size too and pregnant with my second. I didn't worry about it so much the first time around but am this time. I'm a bit heavier, didn't get rid of all the baby weight and now will be adding more.
