plus size and pregnant !

[MommyCandice]

here is todays at 8.5 i had to shrink the size

Hi ladies. I'm no longer plus size and pregnant, I'm plus size and a mommy! Little Emerson came 10 weeks early delivered by c-section. I had severe preeclampsia that came on really fast and they couldn't keep it controlled so she had to come out. She's doing really well and is almost back to her birth weight (which was 2 lbs 8 oz). Her lungs and kidneys are still immature, but they are improving everyday. I never did get a real pregnant looking belly. I just looked super flabby! Hoping I get the nice pregnant belly next time. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Thank you everyone. I'm healing up pretty well and I'm moving around pretty good after my c-section. Now we're just waiting on her to really start growing.

Can I join you all?

I am 5'7' and my pre preg weight for this pregnancy was 192. I weigh 177 today due to ms. I wear a size 18/20 as I am a pear shape and carry most of my weight in butt hips and thighs. My pre preg weight with my son was 130. I am having a very very hard time not stressing out about weight as I gained 60 lbs during my first pregnancy.

this is me tonight at 14+2

I have been super ill these past few days so haven't been online.

Panda bless your little precious girl, she is beautiful and wishing you luck that it's all smooth sailing from here and she gets big and strong. I'm glad you're feeling okay too, you are so brave

Oooh how exciting Tryn, good luck, can't wait to hear how it all goes and to see pictures!

Welcome Rizzo You're certainly not as plus size as some of us ladies but if you're anxious about your weight and you feel like this is the place for you then of course you can join us! How is your pregnancy going so far? Is this your second? I think that's what I can see from your signature hehe.

Welcome Rizzo-you look lovely, I actually think you look very proportioned. Your weight looks natural not bulky. Remember for most women after you have a child you are left with a more mature body. Embrace it! Congrats on your pregnancy too!

Panda-feel better hunny, I will post pics soon as she is here, hopefully by tmrw night..

well that time again already, heres my 24w bump!

so glad i look pregnant.. now to bring on the huge bump belly!

 

[PandaMao]

Tryn, so exciting you'll have your little baby after tomorrow. Looking forward to your update.

 

[lovelymiss]

Welcome, Rizzo! Actually, I think you look wonderful! Very healthy and balanced looking. Still, I understand that weight is such a personal struggle for each individual, so of course you are welcome! Congrats on your pregnancy. Wishing you all the best.

Mummafrog: Sorry you've been feeling so ill.

Jess, you look fantastic! BRING ON THE BUMP. It suits you beautifully.

Here is my 35 week bump.

I always look so thin & proportioned in selfies, but then I am a whale if someone else takes the picture. Maternity photos this week should be interesting.

I weighed in at 299 yesterday. Wanted to cry. I thought it was bad when I reached 250 in college. The idea of seeing 300+ on the scale TERRIFIES me. I am getting REALLY anxious and wanting to get back down under 200. Scary to think that I'm going to have over 100lbs to lose just to get under 200. I just don't feel healthy at all.

 

[Mummafrog]

Gorgeous bumps ladies and you're all glowing

Jess, can't wait to look like you, I'm only a few days behind you but my bump still hasn't rounded out :/ maybe because it's my first?

Aww lovelymiss I'm sorry you're feeling afraid and unhealthy, remember some of that weight is coming from the actual weight of the pregnancy now, your baby will be born and you'll at least drop some of it, then if you're planning to breastfeed that will help you burn some of the calories off if that's what you want which can be good motivation for losing I've heard.
But for the record I think you look amazing and you should only try and lose weight because you want to be healthier, not because of the way you look, do it for the right reasons and don't beat yourself up over it Never forget how super your body is!

I'm starting to find pregnancy more tiring now, it's getting harder to move and I'm more achey and stuff, this illness has been really hard on top of that. Oh and my breasts have started leaking in bed BUT I have a valentines V day, how lovely is that? Also my man is taking me to a romantic hotel apparently, he surprised me with that today
