plus size and pregnant !

[donnarobinson]

I no you have to gain weight in pregnancy , but I'm petrified

When I 1st met my partner in 2008 I was around 10 stone , in february 2009 I was 10 stone 9, by the time I fell pregnant with my son in .may 2011 I was 12stone 8,
I only put around a stone on maybe a little more when pregnant with him , and I was pretty much back to that weight when he was 6 weeks old, but since then I've put on 2stone !
I hate being fat and was trying hard to lose it but it was so hard and I'm over the moon I'm pregnant but I'm scared I'm going to end up so big last time it was just my bump that got bigger so I'm praying this time ill be the same but I've got a feeling it won't ,

Anyone else a bigger girl x

Hiya, what do you weigh now?? Im 16stone9!!!! Was 11 in 2009

 

[sammi.bump]

i am, im not sure how much i weigh as i dont own scales because i dont like the answer. i know its between 12 and 14 stone. i tried lossing weight while trying to conceive. the only meat i eat is chicken and i have veg with every meal and i really try not to snack. i find it hard to lose weight because when i had ds my stomach muscles didnt go back together. i have tried every single herbal pill out there and walk every day for at least an hour. i am so scared about putting on more weight as when i fell pregnant with my dd 6 years ago i was a size 8 now im nearly a size 18.
i cant complain about it all tho, my boobs are amazing lol.

I'm 14 stone 9lb.
Its so easy to put it on but hard to lose isn't it . I'm terrified I'm going to get massive and not going to be able to lose it ,
I already have no confidence . With my son I didn't even go up a dress size . But I just no I won't be as lucky again x

I'm 14 stone. I'm not so much worried about the weight gain because it's all for baby but I am worried I won't get a nice bump! I don't want to just look really fat :/

Nearly 11 weeks and haven't put any weight on yet so i'm hoping it'll just be baby/water weight I put on and not fat from eating too much lol

 

[donnarobinson]

Me when I was slim

Me pregnant with my son 40+10 the day b4 he was born

And me not long ago

 

[donnarobinson]

I'm worried of not looking pregnant ! I loved my bump wen pregnant with my son! Adored having a big bump. X

 

[Itsychik]

awww,

I'm about 85 kilos (google says that's 13.38 stone) but I'm only 5'2. This is also about 7 kilos (or a little more than a stone) heavier than I was before I was pregnant with my DS.

Oddly... I don't really care. I feel comfortable, DH loves me for who I am, and that's all that matters to me. I HOPE I don't gain a ton of weight, and I would LOVE to lose more, but I'm definitely not going to worry about it until after this pregnancy.

I know it's difficult but try to think positive You're beautiful the way you are!

 

[donnarobinson]

Thank you hun,
My bmi is 32 now , it was 28 wen I was pregnant with my son, and only 22 wen I was at my slimest . I just want a healhty bmi again.
My oh loves me the way I am but I stil sometimes think he's lying after all I was slim when I met him.
I no I shouldn't be worrying but its just because how bad I feel now ino I'm be so depressd wv bein even fatter once babies born x

Google puts me at 20 stone even:S(280lbs) I have been at 21.78 stone(305lbs)! I am not worried much about weight within reason. 2 months in and I am down a tiny bit due to MS. BMI is like 42 or so.

I plan to breast feed for a year at least and will worry about weight then. I am used to being big and it does not bother me much except annoying to find shirts as I am bulgy under belly button and see that getting much worse lmao

 

[xxDreamxx]

I am 107 kg which is 16 stone 8lbs. I am down from 23 stone. In my last pregnancy which unfortunately I lost at 16 weeks, I was seeing a dietician and didn't gain anything - this time I plan on seeing the dietician again and keeping the gain to a minimum.

 

[donnarobinson]

Aww I think its great when u can be confident being bigger etc, I wish I could I just can't , I use to be such a confident person and now I'm not . I feel huge ! Even tho I'm really not I'm just a lot bigger than I've always been,
Ino I shouldn't really worry about weight now but I'm defo not eating for 2 as some do . I'm more worried about losing it after rather than putting it on x

 

[donnarobinson]

Well done on losing that much weight
I'm. Going To see a dietcian as well. Sorry for ur loss and congrtz on this pregnancy x

It's hard at the moment as its winter in Australia and I am like a bottomless pit of hunger

 

[donnarobinson]

Aww bless u. Well I'm hoping I go off most foods like I did with my son, I craved helathy foods and fruit with him and cudnt stomach grease , I bet it will be the opposite this time lol x

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!

And sometimes I feel judged by those around me as I'm stuffing my face (even thought I do try to make 'healthy' choices, like snacks of plain fruits and veggies) but you can almost hear some people thinking, "yep, look at the fat girl munching away"

Ah well. I'm a very confident person and am not afraid to speak my mind. So if anyone ever dared to actually make a comment to me, I'd put them in their place, quickly!

 

[Kittycat155]

Sorry to hear of your loss but glad you made it back

Great job losing so much! It sneaks up little bits at a time. But I remember I was 14-15 stone not THAT long ago.

 

[donnarobinson]

It does sneak up. I don't even remember getting fat, just woke up and I was lol. I wish I was confident but I'm not and I use to be extremly confident x

 

[geordie_gal]

I know how you feel Donna, when I first met my OH (we've been best friends for 8 years) I was a size 8, when I got with him I was a size 12 and now 10 weeks in I'm buying size 14 pants and size 16 tops. My boobs have gone from a B at size 8 to a DD when I was size 12 to an E now though haha x
