plus size and pregnant !

[donnarobinson]

U did great losing weight hun, I really hope I can.
Aww yeh I'm defo scared of gtn huge x

donna, I joined the day before i found out i was pregnant but i spoke to the lady who runs it and let her know i was pregnant. I asked if it was safe to carry on throughout pregnancy. She said yes, absolutely. She sent me a pregnancy pack out in the post which i have to give to my midwife to sign. She said if the midwife is happy for me to loose weight through out my pregnancy then they will support that the whole time. If she wants me to maintain my weight that's fine also and will they will still support me as much as they can to help me maintain. I'm only 5ft 2 though so i'm small but big. I have a feeling the midwife will be happy with me to carry on loosing weight as it's done healthily and it's not as if i'm depriving my self of anything. x

I am so scared I only put on just over a stone with my daughter and now I am starting out this pregnancy at 15.7 stone. I was on Cambridge diet when I got pregnant so had to come straight off it. I am lucky and seem to carry weight super well but I want to be healthy! I have been doing lots of walking but I am getting chocolate cravings, I don't even like chocolate lol! This is me at about 30 weeks pregnant in first two photos:

Sorry no offense and bear in mind i didnt read this thread through, but the last 2 ladies who posted pics are in no way shape or form plus sized. I am a true plus size girl and I think you ladies look great!

 

[Baileeboo77]

Im 260lb, I carry most of my weight in my stomach and try to hide it with flattering shirts and belts. I may not have been when we got together but after my mc and gaining 40 lbs I for sure think im plus sized lol

 

[Nat0609]

I think the thread has become, "Pregnant and weighing more than we'd like too" rather than "Pregnant and plus size" lol.

Everyone has a different idea of what is "plus size". I wouldn't say I was plus size exactly but my BMI is over what is classed as "normal" and healthy xx

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

I don't even want to know what my BMI is. ACK! I'm eating healthy and doing what I can, and that will have to be enough. I'm so excited to have baby bump shaped fat instead of my "fat" stomach. WOOT!

 

[tryn4]

Haaa! Well I am at least 270 and look it. lol. I have big arms & butt & stomach and yes the stiffer pregnant stomach will be a lovely alternative to my flabs

 

[HaltimeKitty]

I love this forum !

And hello everyone.


Everyone that's shared a bump photo and were plus sized all have amazing bumps !
I'm getting excited now !


Before my first pregnancy i had lost alot from15stone8 to 7stone
With my first pregnancy I was about 7stone something then gained during up to about 13 stone maybe more by the end

Now I'm starting off at 12 stone and have been lost 10lbs so far with out trying to.
I was worried my bump won't look like a bump this time but everyone's bump pictures have been so cute !

 

[rhiannon240]

Hi ladies! I'm 220lbs after just losing 40 lbs. Found out I'm pregnant after trying for 9 months. Super excited about the baby but really scared of gaining that weight back. So far I haven't gained any so that is good. Just trying to eat healthy

 

[sammi.bump]

in this heat i crave avocado and beetroot salad so thats kick started my healthy eating off, im hopping to lose a healthy amount of weight during pregnancy as have been told at my size it is safe to lose a lil weight. hopefully when i give birth i should be on the right track and im gonna breastfeed so that should help, i hate looking at pictures of myself and dont reconise myself anymore but at the same time i think overskinny girls need to eat a hamburger lol. i would like to end up a size 12/14 no smaller........ eventually lol xx

 

[donnarobinson]

Yeh hun, I don't want to be skinny, and I was to thin at a size 10 , a size 12/14 and I'd be happy , well I haven't been able to stomach much lately x

 

[Celesse]

This is me about a week ago, so 6+6. Usually a UK size 18, but I'm tall. I think BMI is 29 so still "overweight" not "obese".

I'm taking a picture every week for my blog (though preggo posts not live yet). There are so bump progression pictures of slim women out there so I wanna show the body changes of the bigger woman and how our bumps ar just as lovely!

 

[donnarobinson]

That's a great idea hun, I look pregnant alredi. Obv not baby, my belly was stil thre from my son and is bloated now x

 

[DaisyvonStarr]

You all look great! My BMI puts me in the obese category and it makes me sad. But I just want to be as healthy as possible this pregnancy for babies sake. Apparently a consultant has to ring me because my BMI is just over 35 :'( My midwife said they probably won't want to actually see me as I am only just over the threshold but it still worries me! Anyone else being called by a consultant? X

 

[donnarobinson]

My bmi is 32, it was 28 when I fell pregnant with my son.

Don't worry hun, I was consultant led last time around and it wasn't because of my bmi.
They don't really do much more than a normal midwife, I suppose they just keep an eye on u as well. My consultant just use to do excali the same as midwife, do urine, blood pressure, felt baby, listened to heart beat etc,x

 

[xxDreamxx]

See it's weird isn't it how size and BMI can differ. I am a UK 16 and my BMI is 38. It's just weird.

I rang my dietician to make an appointment - I seem to be going through a never ending hunger stage at present so hoping we can formulate a plan that sees me not feeling hard done by
