plus size and pregnant !

[tryn4]

Omg I'm so jealous of your 205 medic LOL..my weigh ins breaking the scale.

 

[medic9114fun]

I was terrified aftery last apt and he difference on the scale from home to dr. I've been trying very hard to keep my weight in check.

No easy at all.

 

[donnarobinson]

I was 14 stone 10lb (206lbs) when I got pregnant and now I'm 13 stone 3lb (185lbs)

So I've lost 21lb in total. I told the midwife yday and she said she isn't concerened and some women just lose weight during pregnancy x
3 weeks today til my scan! So excited x

 

[tryn4]

You guys need to leave the plus sized thread Lmao I weighed in at 286 lbs...whooooo!

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

According to my home scale I'm at 216. . .which is what I started at. I lost about 8 lbs and have gained them back. My BMI is considered Class 2 obese. Healthy weight for me is 135-142 according to the doctors health sheets.

LOL, I'm sure I should be 150 but I was 220 at age 18...always big, so I can honestly say it really doesn't bother me. I would love to get back to 220 though!

So I posted this in second tri but it applies here too. I'm sure many of you have heard the same things.
So I have had my first stranger comment experience. Well first bad one.
I live in a very small town where everyone knows everything kinda thing

I went to Tim hortons to get my one coffee of the day, aka my reason I get out of bed, and the woman at the drive thru said oh look you're showing already! Wow you're going to be HUGE!

She was very lucky I really wanted my coffee as I really wanted to throw it at her!

Why do people think it's ok to make comments like that? I'm already very very self concious about my weight. That didn't help. I wanted to cry

Today at work we took a patient to the hospital and a nurse made me feel better a little bit when she said she was surprised I was 19weeks as I didn't look it at all.
She may have just been saying that but still.

The rude comment sticks with me more than the nice ones apparently

Sorry needed to vent to people who would understand. Hubby doesn't get it

Here is my 19+2 bump pic. Sorry I can't figure out how to attach more than one from my phone

Here is another pic

Medic- your bump is beautiful! I wish I was showing, though I shouldn't say that! Haha. I don't think you're going to be huge at all. I think your bump is a great size and strangers need to keep their mouths shut!

(PS- I looooove Timmy's. I could never throw my coffee haha.)

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

I think you look great! I'm already getting close to beached whale proportions with my bump.

 

[tryn4]

Yea medic, to me your already think your big (which your not) your bump is not big at all & looks great. Lots of ppl said to me wow your belly got big fast, or look how big u are already but it doesn't bother me. Trust me, most negative comments are out of jealousy. But I promise you, u look so nice. Right on track. I'm gonna take bump pics later...u guys will faint!

Aww medic I'm sorry that lady made you feel bad, but honestly you're bump is not that big. It looks cute and just fine for 19 weeks.

I was at the zoo yesterday and there was a woman there, she was a bigger lady also, and these two random girls with their horde of children just wander up and are like "OMG, you are so big! are you having twins?" and she just chuckled a little (embarassed) and was like "no, im just big, etc"...if that had been me, even if it were obvious that I was pregnant, i would have been like "No, im just fat....thanks alot!" and started crying for effect...I might even do that when i do start finally showing, or maybe tell people im having a litter!....my gosh people are so nosy!

 

[Wannabe Mommy]

Hello all, I got my BFP last week and am a UK size 18-20 so definately in the Plus Size category. I have my first midwife appt on 9th October and really worried I'm gonna get told off for being fat, annoyed at the idea too cos it's not like I could do anything about it now even if I wanted to! Anyway, incredibly excited about being pregnant and can't wait for my scan!

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Congratulations!!

 

[PandaMao]

Wannabe Mommy, congrats on BFP. Also, don't worry too much about your appointment. Most plus size ladies seem to be taken care of just fine by their midwife/obgyn and the weight just isn't an issue. I know I was worried before mine, but everyone was just lovely and I worried for nothing.

 

[tryn4]

Congrats! I agree don't let the weight thing bother u at all!
