Size 24-26?

[whit.]

I am not sure. I'm not size 24-26, but pre-pregnancy I was a size 12, which is considered to be 'plus size'. I might be able to look at the website to see.

All of you ladies have beautiful bumps, btw!!

I was a 20-22 before- now I'm a planet This picture is actually a few weeks old- from 20 weeks. I'm MUCH bigger now but this is about what a full term should look like- Of course, there are two in there... But I have quite the sag in the front normally- it just filled in

Can I ask what clothes are you going to be all wearing this Summer here in the UK? I really struggled last Summer with been a size 22 I promised myself that I would diet for this Summer but got a lovely BFP instead so the diet is on hold.

Same! I was a UK size 12 (US 10) pre-preg, and am just about having to buy size 14 (US 12) clothes now. My pre-preg weight was 10.11 stone (152 pounds). By my NT scan at 12 weeks 5 days, I'd put on 6.6 pounds, and my BMI had gone up to 27.7! Doctor gave me some guilt.

Hiya I'm a UK size 26 though I've lost a bit of weight this pregnancy due to feeling sick and constant food aversions.
Here's my 32 week bump xx

My dr told me she didn't want me to gain any weight through the pregnancy. Easy for her to say, she's 100lbs soaking wet!! She's been satisfied with me so far though, I lost 8lbs last month (I go every 4 weeks) just due to eating better and of course, morning (or in my case, ALL DAY) sickness! Now that I'm eating and keeping everything down I have to keep a closer eye on what I'm eating.

Ok ok I'm not suppose to be here lol
I am not pregnant! Haha! But I am a size 24 and am ALL smiles from reading through this thread and what beautiful pregnant ladies you are
HI eRIn!!

my friend on here introduced me to this thread to give me a bit of hope since everyone has told me it is basically impossible for me to concieve until I lose 30+ pounds.

Do u mind if I ask. Did you guys have to lose weight to get pregnant or did it just happen for you? I'm going on about 15 months TTC an am having more crying fits than normal hahah wondering If it will ever happen!

Sorry to barge in I know I'm not a part of the club yet. But I appreciate your thread. And much love for you girls

 

[Glowbug]

I you pheobe. You are sooo sweet

 

[heyyady]

Glowbug- as a matter of fact, I GAINED about 25 lbs right before I got pregnant! but I do know that different bodies react differently- so if you haven't tried loosing a bit, maybe give it a shot? It's my theory that it's not the weight gone that does it, it's the boost of confidence we feel! when I go pregnant with my previous two it was right after loosing a bunch

Here's my new bump picture- Me on the right and my girlfriend due in May on the Left
27 weeks 4 days

I hate to say this but yes I had to lose weight to get pregnant. I was originally 215lbs and trying to conceive for 2 yrs. Since my ovulation cycles were perfectly normal and all tests checked out fine my fertility specialist suggested I lose weight. I lost about 30lbs before I finally conceived. Of course there are other factors that normally contribute to infertility but none of those other factors seemed to apply to me, only weight seemed to make a difference. I can only speak my own experience and as you can see women who are much heavier than me on this thread were able to conceive so it's not an impossibility.

 

[Braven05]

I conceived at almost 300 lbs...I was getting ready to buckle down and start losing again when I found out I was pregnant. I thought it would help, because I've read even losing 5% of your body weight can help...but I guess I didn't need to. Everyone is different. I've been fluctuating now between 289 lbs and 294 lbs since getting pregnant.

Being overweight can cause some hormonal imbalances, or worsen them. I had/have PCOS before conceiving and I lost about 20 lbs and took some supplements before I was able to get pregnant. I don't know if it was the weight loss that did it, but it certainly doesn't hurt to lose and can help you have an easier pregnancy.

Hey..Im not suppose to be here either. Im only 5 weeks pregnant.

I am a size 24 and my weight is very high (330) and I'm 5'10. Its the largest Ive ever been so I've been kinda ignoring it

I just wanted to let you know that I did not have to lose weight to get pregnant. My husband and I were going to try in a few months, so it was semi-unplanned.

I'm also very happy to see this thread. One of the first things that came into mind is if I would really see a bump...

Good luck!

I am a size 24/26 and still haven't quite got any sort of bump, yet I'm still just coming into the second tri. I've been pretty bloated for a few weeks and I thought maybe that was my bump but this morning I woke up and the bump-looking-thing was gone . I can't wait until I start showing (if I do). I wonder what it'll look like!? I'll post pictures when I'm further along.

Your bumps are gorgeous, btw!

Hi there! Pre-pregnancy I was a size 26. Before I got pregnant though, DH and I started eating a little healthier. No exercise or anything (I swear I'm allergic to it) but I lost one pant size (-ish as my pants got a lot looser and certain pants fit that were size 24, but not all.)

Don't know if that had anything to do with it but with my ex-husband we had been trying for 10 months to conceive before I left him. I also have PCOS so I figured the odds were totally against me. I really think though, that it had less to do with my fertility and more to do with the ex-husband's.

With DH now, we tried for 1 month and I ended up pregnant. Try going to a fertility specialist for the two of you or have a consultation with one if possible. They can probably help you out more.

I tried to get preg years ago, and it was a failure. I have since dropped some weight, but also been put on Metformin for diabetes. I read elsewhere on here that girls are given metformin to help regulate hormones so they will ovulate. maybe it was a combonation of the two for me, but we fell preg the first try with the donor this time! But I am still 24-26 before pregnancy, so it really just depends on the woman.

 

[audrey]

Size 22 here as well! I was down to a 20 (almost 18) before we got pregnant! I was hoping to lose more weight before baby burrowed in deep! But I'll take a baby over some skinny jeans anyday! As soon as I got a BFP I went from my *almost* 18 to 22 within 2 weeks!

Oh well! My bumps always look like I'm 'pudgy' until 30+ weeks!
