This is just the thread i have been looking for!

My BMI is though the roof i weight around 263lbs (at just under 12 weeks) i think i am fairly lucky as i don't think i look as big as i weigh (however i could be kidding myself!)

I was 253lbs when we conceived and now i am starting to cr*p myself cos i am so scared about my weight being an issue.

I have had my booking in appointment but the midwife didn't weigh me? Is this normal? I have my first scan on Tuesday will they weight me then?

I just want to make sure i try my best to keep this bubba safe and sound.

Anyway i have attached a pic of me a couple of weeks back so not somewhere between 253lbs and 263lbs and also a close up of my bump yesterday (i swear there has gotta be two in there!) at 263lbs.

I would love to have people to chat to who are also as HUGE as me hehe!

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:

I am thinking of joining Slimming World but too scared to go on my own

WOW you look amazing! dont put yourself down!

Im not pregnant (but want to be) im doing slimming world i go to group on my own but tbh once you get through that door everyone is lovely, good luck xx

Wow, i can't believe you're 15st. You carry it so well, to look at your pictures i would say you look around a size 12. You look amazing.

Aww thanks. I have a 30 inch waist but a very large bum and hips. My boobs weigh nearly a stone between them as they are a 32JJ So I think maybe that's why I get away with my weight a bit more. Heavy boobies! Lol. And I wear dresses in a size 12-14, 16's don't fit around the waist. All very strange how I manage to get into those sizes! X

I was going to say your boobs must weight most of that you look amazing!

Chazz... you do not look your weight. You look great. Sometimes I feel I don't look my weight, then I'll see a random pic and feel like a whale. I'm about the same weight. Haven't weighed myself. Don't want to. How tall are you? I'm 5'3." You look taller.

I think you see yourself way bigger than you are. Be happy! Worse things to be sad about!

I'm down 10lbs maybe more due to ms I can't eat I'm now 14stone 1 , 197lbs. Bmi 31
Top one 9 weeks. Bottom 9+5
My belly is starting to go round and not just flabby lol.
I hate my body tho I'm huge x

 

[tryn4]

Donna u are NOT huge at all! LOL I need to take a pic of myself so u guys can see what a real plus size girl looks like!

 

[donnarobinson]

I'm down another pound I'm now 14stone & bmi 30. ! Its just falling off.
Aww I bet u just look great. I'm huge compared to what I was . I've always been around 10 stone x

 

[Baileeboo77]

I don't think your big. I'm ok with my sz but I am way bigger. It just reality! My BMI I'm sure is over 40 but like I said before that has never been brought up to me by a doc. Here in Canada I have never visited my obgyn & he whip out a BMI chart LOL that would be very wierd. I think stressing about it while pregnant is counter productive. I guess if u were slimmer before I can understand however bodies change after pregnancy, so what can you do..just life!

 

[donnarobinson]

Thank you hun, you are right x

 

[tryn4]

Confidence starts inside. It will radiate outwards no matter what sz u are!

 

[lovelymiss]

For me it's not about confidence. Of course I was more confident at 165lbs, but now I've gained over 100 lbs. I'm still confident, but worried about my health and the baby's health. The risk of Gestational Diabetes, high blood pressure, not being able to measure the baby without an ultrasound, early labor, etc. I can't deny the fact that me being so overly obese puts myself and the baby at risk.

 

[donnarobinson]

Yeh I worry about my bmi and health etc but mine is a confidence issue as well. Its easy to say be confident how u are but hard to feel it when ur not confident . I defo don't want to lose anymore weight thoix not while pregnant x

 

[donnarobinson]

I'm worried that they won't get a good look at baby via ultrasound too. Cuz my bellys all fat and flabby x

My belly is fat an flabby too. Had my ultrasound 2 weeks ago and it went totally fine

I have my next one Wednesday morning
I'm worried about my health with baby. Due to ring over weight already

I put on all my weight between 8-10 weeks so far have held steady since at 202-204 depending on the day and time

I know bmi isn't really an accurate measure as every body type is different and what not but mine was 31 when I found out I was pregnant.
