plus size and pregnant !

[PandaMao]

Hi ladies! I'm not sure if you any of you remember me, but I was a part of this thread when I was pregnant over the summer and I sadly had a MMC in August. We went to my second appointment at 13+6 and we couldn't hear a heartbeat and I went for a scan and they said the baby stopped growing at 8.

Well I decided I will rejoin you ladies! I'm 11 weeks today, we have a detected a heart beat and it looks like this will be my rainbow!

My starting weight was 276 (I gained about 10-15 lbs after miscarrying). I'm right now at 270 from being so sick this pregnancy. I haven't been eating much and can only stomach certain foods.

I wasn't going to rejoin this thread since a lot of the girls I knew are almost at the end of their pregnancies (I was originally due Feb 21), but I noticed a lot of girls have joined this thread, so I figured why not!

I have my wedding coming up June 7th. I bought my dress a while ago (a size 20) and I'm praying I can fit into it being 29 weeks. It's a corset back, so maybe I'll get lucky! I also have my best friends wedding July 19th, I'll be 36 weeks. We just ordered our dresses and they ordered me a 30 to make sure I'll fit! Oh boy!

I remember you. So happy to hear you are pregnant with your rainbow. Hope the morning sickness passes for you soon.

I remember u too hunny. So sorry for your loss but congrats on your rainbow blessing! Prayers & love to you!

Lovelymiss-pics are great, sorry for the back pain, the end is very miserable. I can't walk much anymore so I'm so frustrated. (this did not happen in my previous pregnancies)

Welcome to everyone new & congrats!

As for me, I should deliver in 2 weeks. I'm so over it right now. Its to the point the baby's movements are painful. I have a constant kicked in crotch feeling, can't sleep well or walk...oh joy! LOL I was sick as some of u know,lost 5 lbs, and apparently although I've been eating junk for paste3 weeks haven't gained any back, so pre pregnancy I was 293 lbs, now @ 9 months 287 lbs...whatev! Doesn't matter to me anyway. I pretty much wore regular clothes even now. But my bump is hugeeeeeeee! I'm on mat leave now so will be in touch xo

My belly wasn't cute before, so im assuming mine will go back to the flabby mess. There is no hope for mine anyway, cuz I been having kids since I was 19, so it pretty much is only fixable to a certain degree by surgery LOL which isn't happening, so I embrace it! Thank god my hubby met me with the flabs so he aint expecting abs!

 

[donnarobinson]

My belly was jelly like after cj , and wasn't flat at all. So ino it wil go bk like that just hope not worse.. Ohh mine has never been mega flat anyway , but I did use to have a nice figure lol. I was a size 10 wen I met my oh, so I always think does he hate me like this he says he doesn't , but can't help but think it x x oh well lol x

[mel28nicole]

I'm gonna consider this my first bump picture at 11+4 since I can't suck it in anymore. I'm at 271 right now

 

[Mummafrog]

Hey ladies, you all look amazing!

And Mel I am new but I am very sorry for your loss and so pleased to hear that you are back

I'm really starting to need bump support, my ligaments start hurting around my stomach if I walk too much and my job involves a lot of time on my feet. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy plus size ones?
I'm a size 20 and I'd love to find one that says 'size 20' but it's just large, xl, etc, I want to get a good fit.
Any help appreciated

Hope you're all doing well Looking forward to seeing more of those babies born!

 

[tryn4]

Looking good!

mumma-never used a support belt, and I bet its hard to find a plus sized one, so I am clearly no help. Have you tried googling it, or ebay? Good luck! I can barely walk now in and out from the car, so I can feel your pain

 

[Mummafrog]

I have tried yeah, I think they will have ones that fit me, looks like I'm going to have to get out a measuring tape and figure out what they mean by L, XL, XXL haha.
Yeah getting pubic pain and it's ouchy, as well as ligament pain.

You poor thing! Must be so hard.. but soon your baby will be here right? And I can't wait to see the pictures xx

Love the bumps JAjuly and Jess! Both beautiful and it's so great to see bumps the two weeks I am in between! Thank you for sharing. Mine isn't quite as round yet but it looks it in some clothes, starting to feel like I really look pregnant sometimes.

I hope you don't have to wait much longer (for the health of your doctor) Iesha!
