Mine just got bigger during/after pregnancy. I had hoped they'd get smaller after I stopped breastfeeding, but they didn't really! I was about a D before pregnancy, F while breastfeeding... and now DD/E more than a year later

I just hope they don't get any bigger this time!

I'm a size 18-20. I was a size 12 when I met OH 6 years ago, but weight shot up when I quit smoking. 6weeks after DS was born I was 12st 7lb. Just before I got pregnant I was 13st 7lb. The extra stone appeared once I started cutting back on breast feeds, but my appetite stayed the same as when I was at the height of tandem nursing.

I'm not bothered about appearance. I don't consider thin to be pretty and fat ugly. Those are current fashions within modern western society. Other societies both contemporary and history and favour big women over skinny women. I think its important to remember that if you big, you are still beautiful you just don't fit in with the current trend, and who wants to be a sheep anyway?!

I would however like to feel a little healthier. My plan for this pregnancy is to switch to a super healthy diet once the MS stage is over and minimise the weight gain. I'll be going for high quality nutrients for me and baby rather than pure weight gain!

I'm a size 16/18, and I'm 5'10". I am not worried about my weight, really. I make it a point to do 30-minutes of cardio every day and try to spend 30-45 minutes in the pool at least 3 days a week so I will at least maintain my weight. Since I am overweight, even if I lose some weight while I'm pregnant I'm OK with it. As long as it's OK with my doctor, which he said he will just make sure to monitor it closely. I was in the process of losing weight before I got pregnant to help with conception - but I ended up going on a 2-week cruise vacation and gained like 11lbs. I have lost that 11lbs and a couple more, but man that really made me mad. Damn all you can eat buffets 24/7!!! lol

I'm happy with myself though - I love my curves, my husband loves me no matter what I weigh (however, I am not willing to gain more to see if thats true or not....lol) so just take it easy, watch what you eat, walk every day or swim and you'll do fine not to gain I'm sure

Thank you girls, I defo agree that being bigger doesn't mean ur ugly , and I think its great that people can feel comfy being bigger mine is fat tho though and not just me being big , its flabbby belly etc, and I defo need to lose weight for me because I'm unhappy with the size I am. And someone can tell u ur beautiful but not feeling it is the worse feeling in the world , I will obv eat and makesure my baby gets all they need but I will be trying to stay healhty x

Donna I totally get where you're coming from. I'm around 13st 8lbs at the moment, my weight already having gone up about 10lbs already in the time I've been pregnant. I was 15st 9lbs when I met my man, and we both worked hard to get the weight off me because I was so unhappy with my body (him being into fitness and sporty stuff really helped). Now the weight is creeping back on and I hate, hate HATE it!

It's just up to us to make the right choices when it comes to our food - not easy with MS but hopefully it'll get better soon.

Doctor told me he wants me to gain no weight at all during pregnancy. I have been riding a stationary bike 45 mins a day, and I feel I have been eating better.

 

[donnarobinson]

Im surprised he said not to gain any weight im considered obese(5'2" and 270) and so far have lost 5lbs and keep getting lectured to stop losing weight and that i need to gain between 15-20lbs during the 2nd and 3rd trimester

My Ob has told me that I can lose 5-10kg and she wouldn't be concerned. I am aiming at 5kg.

I was surprised to because not to gain any weight I would have to lose a decent amount. I am wondering if he said that to scare me into not going "wild" with eating. He told me do not do any diets so I have just been making sure to exercise. I know that I am eating a lot better, and anything I gain he will just have to be satisfied with.

I'm 11.7 stone I was 8 when I had my first son 9 years ago. I'm not pregnant but worried about putting more weigh on ( should of said I'm trying for #4 now) !! I'm bigger now than what I was at due date with all 3 of my babies ! X I love being bigger but scared of getting to big when having #4

I made a thread close to this one just a couple weeks ago. For those of you who are scaredof not having a nice bump, (me included) here's a picture to give you hope. I was 28+5 with my daughter here. I don't remember how much I weighed. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 230-240 lbs. Personally, I really like this picture

[JessPape]

I am, I have decided I want to "naturally change" my eating habits to more healthier choices, and better portion sizes. I wont diet, just adjust my eating habits, and keep up with my excising. this should promote a bit of weight loss, but in a safe range.

 

[MummaMoo]

It's so refreshing when the ms finally leaves that I WANT to eat all the good stuff now! When ms was in full swing all I wanted was stodge: potatoes, bread, pastry, rice ... which has helped the 10lbs go on, but now the ms is improved *won't say 'gone' because I don't want to jinx it!* I'm finding it easier with salads and stuff. Hopefully it'll even off for a bit.
