Plus size mommas!

GJCarlson2

I was wondering is any of you beautiful ladies have noticed any bumps or have started showing yet?
I'm at 11w right now, just waiting for my pants to get tighter, but they're still fitting! It's pretty weird to actually want to go out and buy bigger pants!

I'm also a plus sized mommy also at 11 weeks and I've for sure grown out of my old pants but it's not my baby just yet, its my bloaty belly and changing abdomin. Don't be discouraged though, I keep reminding my self that soon enough the baby will be up where I can see/feel.

I'm 12w1d and wore maternity pants for the first time yesterday, but they were falling off! Ha. My jeans that fit well before pregnancy still fit well! A couple of pairs that were snug before are off limits now.

I am plus size and 11 w 3d, I don't really wear jeans that much, mostly leggings anyway so I am not sure if I have grown out of my pants. But I definitely feel like my stomach is bigger! Which I don't like because it just feels more fat than anything. My butt seems to be wider too, but I have been so tired and lazy lately that I probably have put on some weight that I NEED to not gain. The weather is finally getting nicer so I can take a walk and my energy seems to be coming back. But with us more curvy ladies it does seem like a bump isn't really going to show until about 5 months, so I have heard.

@MrsAmoako it's like you are my twin ... Because this is exactly how I feel at 13 weeks!

My pants are no longer fitting but no obvious bump yet. I'm 12+5 with baby number 2. I carry most of my weight in my belly unfortunately so I'm sure it'll be a while for me. I bought maternity pants but the belly band works great also b

I'm a plus size mommy too. I'm just recently out of my regular pants onto more stretchy ones. I'm 11w2d and I was letting my SO touch stomach tonight ( he likes to touch it and pretend to tell me the gender) tonight though was different. He hasn't done it in over a week and he said as he was pushing on my stomach that it felt different. He said it felt harder on one side then the other. I just thought it was sweet how interested he seemed and of course as always he said "its a girl" lol he insists he only makes girls

VaultGirl101

I'm plus size and I've had to move to stretchy pants due to bloating. Although, I'm at 12wks today and I think I see a little bit of a bump. I'm not 100% though. This is my first baby.

sphillips18

I'm not showing yet but my pants are definitely tighter! I'm 11wks 2 days right now lol

I'm plus size and will be 14 weeks tomorrow with no bump yet. Im still wearing my jeans from pre pregnancy but I'm doing the whole hair tie trick cause they don't button at all. I want to wear cute clothes but I just look fat and bloated so hopefully soon I'll be able to wear cute tops and pants.

brandeyrn

I normally wear a size 14, the skinny jeans are out. I'm bloated and and feel really fat. My bump is really low but isn't noticeable to anyone else yet. 3rd baby.

Kayteeh15

I am plus size was a 10-12 before baby and im 13 weeks 1 day and i definitely look pregnant now. I think it all depends on every woman's body and shape. I gave away i was pregnant by 9-10 weeks for sure

hairdivaweez

I'm plus size, but have an hourglass shape. I definitely have more belly, but I think it's more food baby than real baby.

missrachelMrsO

I'm plus size. I'm not showing yet at 14 weeks, but I feel like my extra weight is going to round out and "join" together before I actually show. I'm ok with that. I work in a pretty dangerous school. I consider it extra padding. Haha

MrsAmoako

I'm a size 16. My skinny jeans are too tight even though I've lost some weight. So my body is changing. I carry my weight in my stomach too. I'm 13 weeks today. My lower tummy is getting harder now but I still just look heavy.

michelledusel84

I gained 40 pounds before becoming pregnant. I'm around 198 now and I can't see my baby belly under all that gut! My first pregnancy
Stretched out my tummy something awful and Iv always had a pooch since even when I got down to 150. The skin just never went back. It's hard for me to see but everyone asks if I'm having twins! I just say... Nope only one... That's my food baby your seeing. I'm 14 weeks and 5 days along now.

erinc79

I'm usually a size 16, an no baby belly yet. I'm 11w and my pants are definitely tighter. I've gotten a belly band and use it occasionally. I feel pretty close to needing bigger pants but I'm not quite there yet.

mommalovesidxl

13 weeks 3 days 5 th baby .Had to pull out the whole hair tie trick four days ago w my smallest pair of jeans All the rest still fit fine for now.Just feel extremely bloated. I normally start showing around 20-25 weeks size 14-16 carry my weight in my thighs and butt tho:(

eah325

I'm regularly a size 14. I haven't gained any weight so far (11 weeks). My doctor said I didn't have to gain any weight to sustain the pregnancy. Has anyone else's said that? I mean I'm all for not gaining anything else that I will have to fight to lose. I have PCOS and have battled an insulin resistance problem for years. I still take metformin.

HannahD82

My midwife said I didn't have to gain weight and I could even lose some. I'm around 170 and have already gained 10lbs. I'm 5'2 so my BMI is just over 30. 

missliz53

I'm plus-sized and I definately popped a couple weeks ago. I was thinking it was going to take longer because of belly pudge and my uterus is retroverted, but nope. And my stomach has gotten really firm so I'm pretty sure it's part baby part bloat. I haven't gained any weight cause of morning sickness.

tlc11934

I wear a 16 and my pants just started feeling tight at 13 weeks. I've gained 10 lbs do far, mostly in my arms and Stacy. This is my third pregnancy. Not showing yet but if I slouch I see a belly. Not planning to announce until weeks 15/16 if I can hide it.

GJCarlson2

Thanks everyone I love to hear your different stories! I'm at 12w 5d now but still no noticeable belly. I mostly wear leggings and the jeans I have were already a little big for me and are either smaller or just tighter from the wash I can't actually tell I bought a belly band today and I'm loving it!

serome3993

I'm also a plus size momma, 15 weeks +4 days. I just recently noticed a slight bump, but depending on what clothing I'm wearing. Hardly any of my clothes fit, so I've been wearing maxi dresses (Alabama spring has hit) and yoga pants with larger shirts. Maternity clothes are hard to find for me, especially when they cost so much at the maternity stores...

CeeSand

Hey ladies....ive been out of my reg pants since abt 8wks....Never had that happen before with my other 2. This is actually the very first time I have worn maternity clothing, and I love them. ANY OF YOU HAVING LOWER BACK PAIN?????

louiser210591

Me! I had lower back cramps (period like) yesterday for about half an hour. Comes on every so often

ash102211

Any of you ladies started to feel movement yet...I'm curious when it will start..I can't wait!!!

wharlii

I'm plus size and 15 weeks today, and my old pants do not fit at all anymore, not since week 13! The belly bump has just started showing this week, and I love it! It's going to be all about the leggings and yoga panta from here on out!

missmikala

I am 13 wks and 180 lbs 5ft tall and I have a bump! I thought I was just super bloated my dr said I have a short torso so I would show sooner. Pants still fit but a lot of my tops dont im very bust 

lkarina

Plus size FTM but never really carried in my belly. Belly started to grow at 14.5 weeks and I'm now 16w5days and have just grown out of 1 pair of pants and 2 bras. Seems some of My butt and legs weight moved to my belly. I've actually lost 10lbs so far. Not trying to diet or anything, just sick for 7 weeks and appetite comes and goes so im eating more apples, cucumbers and pickles than the junk food. Weird when your dr says, we need to watch this weight loss...for a plus size girl, that's just funny.

tammyjadair02

I'm a sz 14 and I got a noticeable bump a few days before 13 week. I started noticing at 11 weeks. I'm at 14 weeks and you can definitely tell I'm pregnant

surprisepkg31

Hello my curvy beauties. I think it is high time we started sharing our bumps! I notice it's only the tiny, thin gals posting their belly and I'm ready to see some variety!!! How bout it???? I have to post from my computer as it won't let me on my phone and when I log in on my computer it changes my name in here to xjadettex@gmail.com. So strange! !! Anyway let's see these full belly's!!!!!

I was a size 14 before getting pregnant, and had actually lost a lot of weight (to get down to that size) when I got my current job. I am soo grateful I kept my "fatter" clothes, because that's what I'm wearing right now.....my larger jeggings with an elastic top, dresses and skirts. Because I've always carried weight in my belly, I'm no stranger to maternity tops, but maternity bottoms are new for me. But now, my belly is waaaay more pronounced, an it's not even baby yet!  I've been wearing my old uniform at work......which was a looser in the waist pencil skirt, with my uniform short. I figure when I'm too big for that skirt, it will be time to switch to maternity bottoms.

thebrowns92015

I'm 16 weeks. Still in everything pre-pregnancy except for my bras ( No noticeable bump however the top my of stomach is more firm then lower. Hoping to find out sex next week.

owlrighty

Hey ladies! I'm about a size 16 before pregnancy and always had a little pouch under my belly button. Now that I'm 16w2d it's nice and firm. I didn't get maternity pants until 14 weeks so don't feel rough on yourself if you're not there yet.
The best advice I have to watch your growing belly is when you are going to bed, lay on your back and feel the area between your hips. Even at plus size I had a valley between them when I laid down but now I have a hill that is happily baby. it's a great way to notice pure growth without my curves getting in the way.
Happy growing!
I've attached my week 16 (which was my first bump pic)

Mawmee

My tummy sticks out more, but isn't rounded out. I still fit my pants, but that is only because I wear Avenue stretchy pants on a daily basis. I am 14 weeks.

morgy_bee

I'm 14w2d and I am not rounding out yet but I definitely feel pressure behind my belly button like it is about to pop. I am a STM and hopefully that makes me show sooner. With my first I didn't start showing until into my 20 weeks. Hopefully soon I round out so I don't look like I've just gained weight :-/

Me too girlfriend. I went from a 24 to a 12/14 and now I'm a 16/18 or maybe a 18/20. Who knows, lol. I donated my biggest sized years ago but I think I shave my 16-20 stash still. I've been rocking my winter dresses. Unfortunately I didn't discover leggings until after I got pregnant, but I have a nice stash of them now.

Here's my pic from 3/25, 17 weeks. I don't have a good bump shot for this week.
