Hi all

I am also a plus size girl, per-pregnancy size 24/26. So far I'm lucky and I haven't gained any weight yet, but it probably helps that I cant eat any cooked red meats or pork at the moment lol Would love to join the group

Since I have noticed that some here are already mommy's I was wondering if i could ask you some questions about your previous pregnancies? When did you started gaining weight? Did your boobs get bigger (mine are already 38DDDs, how much bigger could they get)!!?? Could strangers tell that you were expecting and around what week did it show? could you feel the baby move on the outside of all the fat? I hope these questions arent too personal as I am dying to know.

thank you!!

First of all, Welcome Maybe1daysoon!

This is my first so I often wonder the same thing. How have you maintained your weight? I've really gotta start watching it! Any food recommendations? And, being ahead is no biggie, since this is my first (and my thread!) Having people ahead of me gives me more advice in the end!

When did you start feeling sick/getting symptoms? My symptoms come and go which I hear is completely normal. My problem right now is sometimes I am STARVING and other times I have no appetite and trying to eat something even as small as a string cheese makes my stomach hurt if I'm not hungry. Hopefully I'll be able to maintain my weight.

Awesome! My weight has literally maintained itself infact ive lost a few. I eat when im hungry but right now I am really specific to what I want and can tolerate. I hae to eat EXACTLY what I want and literally wont eat anything else. I have been like this for weeks now. Additionally I seem to do much more night eating so you would think that weight would be pilling on, but its not. I never got bad morning sickness however I do vomit ever now and then, not everyday not even every week. probably 10-15 times whole preg. I have good days and bad days you could say. somedays I still dont even feel preg. lol. At my 12 week appt my doctor didnt seem concerned about me losing a few, we will have to see what happends at my 16 week next thursday.

the only food recc i have for after about 8 weeks is eat what tastes good to you and will stay down.

I wish I could give answers about my last pregnancies, but I wasn't overweight with either of them, so that probably wouldn't help. I weighed about 100lbs less with both of them! Lol! I can tell you that even though I have lost 7lbs, I currently look like I am 5mths pregnant from all the bloat!

KEslinger · Oct 9th, 2011, 21:16 PM

Since I don't have an appetite I'm thinking about getting Glucerna shakes for breakfast to have with like a piece of fruit so I'm not skipping meals like crazy. Good idea? Bad idea?

BrandysBabies · Oct 9th, 2011, 21:19 PM

I dont see why that would be bad. Just maybe check to see if they are PG safe just because of all the different vitamins and such that they have in them. But sounds like a good plan!

Maybe1daysoon · Oct 9th, 2011, 21:24 PM

Eating breakfast is ALWAYS a good idea. i just got some honey crisp apples and I am addicted! I eat them with fruit loops in the am lol. most days I am not hungry for breakfast but sugary cereal always sound good. lol.

KEslinger · Oct 9th, 2011, 21:27 PM

I wish I was hungry. I go from not hungry to starving. And, I'm skipping meals which is bad. I've gotta figure out some sort of balance. =\
