plus size and pregnant !

[tryn4]

Thanks darling, bathroom shots are sooo flattering lol!

 

[tryn4]

Thanks medic so do you!

lovely miss I'm missing the part where you are big??????????????????????????????

I'm gonna post a pic of myself prepregnancy just for that!

 

[lovelymiss]

I'd definitely say I'm big. I weighed in at 280lbs at my first prenatal appointment. The most I was aware of before that was 250. I don't even have any pictures of me now... I am just so disgusted lately. I had gotten down to about 165 and felt WONDERFUL. Here's a sort of close up from my friend's wedding I was in recently. I'm the one circled. I wish she had the professional pics. I'm sure there would be a few of just her and I, or her and the groomsman I walked with that are better/closer.

 

[tryn4]

We weigh the same! but in you preggo pic you look smaller than me! I weighed in at my 1st appointment 281, since then I'm down to 279, but I was like 293 pr pregnancy, so I've lost about 13-14 pounds.

 

[lovelymiss]

How tall are you? I'm only 5'3" so it's pretty awful. I usually rock the curves, but I'm super self conscious since getting pregnant. Plus size maternity clothes? No luck. Can't even find a plus size maternity coat! I'm gonna be pregnant ALL winter. Blah. Just for kicks, the skinny me! I was 163ish here, in a size 12 dress. I'd love to get back there eventually.

 

[tryn4]

I'm 5'6 you look awesome there but you also look very beautiful in the other pic at a heavier weight. Honestly i've always been big so I have never let it get me down. If you have confidence you look good at almost any size (within certain limits of course)

obesity does not equal pregnancy complications. I have never had any. I have never also had any complications in general from being fat. I know obviously for a lot of ppl it does add issues, I'm just saying it's not 100% true for everyone. I would not like to be treated like I have some flesh eating disease while pregnant JUST because I am heavy. Skinny or fat each one has its own pro/cons, and in fact most of the thinner women I know seem to be the ones that get more complications, have to have c-secs, gestational diabetes etc. I'm only speaking about the women I specifically know.

My point, I am obese and I havent had one problem either. I just think that ALL women should get the same treatment even if you think they are 'looking' out for you because you are overweight still puts you out there of them thinking 'just because were big.'

 

[tryn4]

Totally agree. I think its such propaganda. Fact is women come in all sizes and should be treated across the board.

You all look amazing girls I'm not really worried about gaining weight now , I'm just worried what my body will look like after I've had baby. Bt nothing I can do . So going to try and not think about it .
I still can't eat & the weights falling of me I wnt to be able to enjoy food again. 12 weeks monday & scan tuesday can't wait x

 

[xxDreamxx]

I am currently 246lbs, so about 4-5lbs smaller than in the "after" pic. I started at 322.5lbs but don't have a side on pic of that.

 

[tryn4]

I LOVE all the pictures! After I had my 3 girls I got down very small, to 122lbs and I'm 5'6". I promptly got sick and was on prednisone for over a year and my body hasn't been the same since. LOL! I went up to 182, back down to 155 and now I'm 210ish. I wish people were less judgmental. I've been thin, I've been fat. . .I'm still me!!! My husband is so darned supportive that it's amazing.

 

[YoungNImum]

hi can i join you ladies? im due my 3rd baby next month, i never tried to loose any weight after my previous pregnancies so the lbs have slowly crept up on me, im the biggest iv ever been so far, altho i weighed my self today and from my 11wks scan iv only gained 3lb :/ which i was very surprised about tbh

I know a lot of ladies have it much harder than I did. In my culture you are kinda loved for having meat & a big butt, and the men in my circle love you for who you are and are less superficial, also I never got teased or it wasnt a big deal. None of my family or friends have ever made this an issue. It is accepted among us. I think it helps that I have never been thin ( if that makes sense) because I dont have to look at myself in a different way and think oh look how good I look. I have just always been a ton of fluff.

I have weight baggage from my ex husband who told me when I was 122 lbs that if I gained weight he wouldn't be attracted to me. JERK. I have a good man now though, thank GOD!

Welcome YoungNImum!

same boat. ive been every size in the book...ive been a size 0, ive been a size 12, all in the past 5 years. I was REALLY hoping to lose some of this weight before conceiving but it didnt happen and now I feel like I am having such a hard time accepting that I am getting bigger and bigger.

i feel like i have no control over it and cry every time I see a new stretch mark, etc. This is the biggest I have ever been...I weigh 190 right now and am only 5 feet tall...5 years ago I weighed 117 :-/ the idea that I will break 200 is just so scary to me.

Hi ladies. This is my first pregnancy and I weigh 263 lbs. I had initially been trying to lose weight to help with conception, but it was slow going. I weighed myself last month and was so disgusted to see I had gained about 15 lbs. Then this month I got my BFP. Who would have thought gaining weight would be the answer? Lol. You ladies all have such lovely bumps and carry your weight better than I do.
Well, at least I don't have to worry about pregnancy ruining my bodt.

 

[mel28nicole]

At the doctors I was 268. But that was after I ate a huge breakfast lol! The last three days I've weighed at 266.1 so I'm hoping it stays like that for doctor to be proud of haha. She wanted me to gain no more than 15.

Wow. I wish I lost even a little. I gained 6-8 pounds at 6-8 weeks. Haven't gained anymore yet though. Hope all is good for your scan.
