plus size and pregnant !

[Whitesoxfan41]

Welcome and congratulations Mummafrog!! Glad to have you here!

I had a routine appointment yesterday and was thrilled to have fantastic blood pressure, baby measuring RIGHT on and only gained 1 more pound. I lost 8 at the beginning and am up 11 or 12 now. Rolling right along. I do think I have a lot more hip pain this time around, probably worse because of the extra weight.

I hope everyone is doing well!

@mummafrog, thank you for those lovely words! Congrats & h & h 9 months to you! Wishing you all the blessings in the world!

@kellie-doing so well! I'm soooo scared of my bp reading. My routine appt is next week.

Afm, doing well aside from aches n pains. Going for a repeat anatomy scan tmrw morning. Oh & for those who don't know I'm getting a pink bundle & her name is Kaliyah Danielle. Hope everyones coming along well! x

Glad everything is going well ladies! Welcome mummafrog and CONGRATS!

Tryn, if you don't mind me asking, why the repeat? Is everything okay with your baby girl?? Hope all is well!

So far my blood pressure has been perfect. I've been better about eating more fruits & veggies and less junk. I've gained back the 6-8 pounds I lost in first trimester, so I am back to my starting pregnancy weight. We'll see if I've gained at the next appointment at the end of this month. I have my anatomy/anomaly scan on Monday. We had an early gender scan and gender reveal. He's definitely a little boy!! Leo Peter. I've been feeling him move a bit which is great!

Here's my 18 week bump pic! It's growing but I still just look like I'm gaining weight. People who know that I'm pregnant can notice my growing belly (and I sure do!) but strangers can't tell yet. Not obviously pregnant yet, but that's okay!

Good luck with the scan Aesha!

Cute bump lovely! It will be a more defined BABY bump soon! Congrats on your little boy.

We're having a girl, Jenessa Kaye.

Lovely-the first one she was not cooperating, then they thought there was a problem with her heart, sent us over to the sick kids hospital for a fetal echocardiogram. But they didn't see a thing wrong with her heart. I personally think I had the anatomy scan too early, they needed her to grow a little to really see her properly. She also tends to move so much under the ultrasound its hard to get the right views. She's a diva LOL. Bump looking great btw. I haven't weighed in yet (that's next week)

@kellie thanks we are on our way now..will update later

 

[lovelymiss]

Lol! Sounds like she IS quite the diva. Hope all went well!

 

[tryn4]

Well little miss diva again didn't cooperate. She loves hiding from the paparazzi. But they did see her enough to know she is growing perfectly. Right on schedule. Thank god. I guess she just wants to make her grand appearance on her own time.

Here's my latest bump! Sorry for those who have to see it more than once from multiple groups. LOL! Actually I think it's only Iesha. . .LOL!

23 + 2. . .please ignore the unmade bed, as I am trying to get comfortable in it most of the day and our mess. 7 weeks is a long time to be in a hotel and we have a lot of junk. My exercise ball has been AMAZING help for my hip pain at least. Oh and I didn't put make up on for you guys either. HAHA

 

[Mummafrog]

Wow, what a gorgeous bump! I can't wait for mine, I think I'll start to show and feel kicks around christmas, which will be magic :')

You look beautiful, for 23 weeks I can't believe how defined and high your bump is, I hope I look like that

 

[tryn4]

Yea Kellie I am so jealous of the awsomeness of your bump LOL! It's bee-uuuuu-tee ful!

Hi Ladies,

When did you strart to feel movements? This is my third and people are already asking me if I'm feeling anything - and I'm not. Is this normal?

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

I started feeling flutters here and there around 16-17 weeks but have an anterior placenta and am just starting to feel real movements regularly at 23+.

Oh thank you - that's reassuring.

Hello ladies im 8+1 today I was 19 stone last Christmas lost almost 4 stone by summer and since then ive gone back up a bit I am 5ft 10 my bmi is 32.5 ive always been a chubster ive got two daughters already the only thing I hate and dread is having the scans and getting my jelly belly out and having it squished about by the thin sonographer hahaha

 

[tryn4]

As far as movements, I only started feeling them last couple weeks. I don't have anterior placenta so there is no excuse lol...I actually feel like I'm JUST starting to feel the real deal in the past few days as Kellie said and I'm coming up on 23 weeks.

 

[medic9114fun]

21 weeks to 23 weeks.

Up 15 pounds to 211. Depending on the day lol

 

[tryn4]

Looking really good. Your bump is small! I think mine & Kellie (whitesox) our bumps are way bigger and I'm a week behind u guys LOL. Very lovely looking!

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

Your bump is ADORABLE and yes, very small compared to my large self. Looking great!!!

 

[tryn4]
