Hi Ladies! I'm 21 weeks 4 days, so technically I fall into the tail end of the November due dates but haven't changed my monthly group since originally being due early December. Anyway... I started off 5'1 250 pre-pregnancy and at my last dr apt I weighed 257, so only a 7 pound weight gain so far. Man. I can't believe how many of y'all lost weight so far. I didn't lose my appetite at all or have morning sickness so I guess I was lucky but still. My goal is to not gain a whole heck of a lot more weight between now and due date, but honestly, I'm surprised that my dr hasn't said anything to me about my weight.
I'm 5' 8" and 247 pre-pregnancy. I brought up my weight as a concern before the doctors did, I'm not sure what they would have said about it if I hadn't. They have me meeting with a nutritionist once a month. I had gained 2 lbs at 16 weeks so everything was going great until my vacation last week and ate out almost every day. I gained 8 lbs =( I'm only supposed to gain 10 this whole pregnancy.
ETA: I'm high risk due to hypothyroid and age (I'll be 35 a month after EDD).
I am a plus size mom Im 33 fixing to turn 34 I have a 12 year old this was a shock and we couldn't be happier since we been trying for 11 years I go Friday the 24 to find out the baby sex I also have gest. Diabetes find out when I was 8 weeks but my question is when will I feel the baby move more often and a lot harder everyone once a while I have a sharp pain than it gone it really that way when I'm trying to sleep I'm 20 weeks and 3 days!
Does anyone know if being plus size = blurry ultrasound pics? I feel like the ultrasound photos I've gotten this pregnancy are so blurry with no detail compared to what I had 4 years ago during my first pregnancy. I'm not sure if my new OB is using a crappy machine or if this is due to weight gain..
I've gained 15 lbs since I found out I was pregnant and haven't yet been told to watch my weight, although I do not want to go over 25 lbs. The OB did tell me today that since I'm overweight we will have to have another ultrasound later in pregnancy to judge baby's size and weight. Has anyone else heard that?
I was 230 pre pregnancy and have lost 7 pounds so far. Hoping not to gain any at all but if I do no more than 10 lbs. Haven't felt any kicks from the outside yet but all over on the inside. Finding out what I'm having on tuesday 6 more days!
I've lost about 12 pounds since my first prenatal due to lack of appetite. I'm 17 weeks today and no bump yet. It's discouraging seeing all the normal size women posting pics of their bumps. And haven't felt anything in regards to the baby moving....no flutters....nothing. :-(
Hi Ladies!! Im a FTM im 5'7 and pre preg weighed 249. im cureently 17 weeks and i still weigjh 249. i did not have any pregancy symptoms so it is all a shock to me. non-the less im super excited and cant wait to find out the gender. i dont think ive felt the baby. however last night when i was laying down it felt like a fish was swiming inside me lol and i dont have a bump my stomach is flat i guess my weight is evenly distributed through out my body lol
Two more questions for everyone: 1) have you had luck finding nursing bras that fit? I need at least a 44 band size and most of the maternity stores don't carry that high. 2) anyone planning to do a binder or wrap post-partum? Wondering if anyone has found a good plus size option!

As of last appointment was still down 8 pounds. I think I found my inner foodie tho in the last 2 weeks. I am a health food nut, or was before I was pregnant. SO's sister is still amazed with how I eat I don't weight 100 pounds, nope I got scar tissue from 3 surgeries that make it impossible to tone my tummy. First time I felt my tummy be more than "chub" since I was 15 was when I felt my baby bump go rock hard last week. I'm showing like crazy at almost 22 weeks. Haven't fit in "normal" cloths since I was 4 weeks pregnant. It seems this pregnancy is sucking all the fat from me. A big part of my weight issue was from serious stage 4 endometriosis with scar tissue (I had a 20 pound weight swing during different times of the month). Now it seems like she is breaking up all of mommy's scar tissue. My goal is under 20 pounds this pregnancy. I started at 190(ish). Let's see how it goes
I started at 200 at about 5'9", and I fluctuate between 196-200. I have t gained a lb yet. I'm 19 weeks today. I am starting to have more of a bump now. I mostly felt fat and bloated before. But I think my 22 weeks, it'll actually look like a preggo bump. I haven't been able to feel kicks yet. I think mostly due to my dr said my placenta is in the front. So my girl is just kicking that. She said I should feel something eventually just not as soon as others. I'm just excited we are having a girl. I don't care if anyone thinks I just look fat and not pregnant anymore. I'm over it. I want my baby to be healthy and that's all that matters. Good luck to you all!!
I am on my 6th pregnancy - 2 losses (6 weeks and 19 weeks - that one was last December and was induced to deliver). I have had three full term births. I lost my baby girl in December 2014 and was pregnant in March 2015 with this one. Starting weight was 249. I have gained 10 pounds and my dr is happy with that. So - 259 at almost 21 weeks now.
