Plus size mom check in!

How's it going? I'm 38+5 and being induced Sunday night b/c of GD.

I'm soooo uncomfortable in my body. The baby dropped and my stomach is hanging and heavy and it is just gross. I hope it goes back at some point. I've always been heavier on my lower abdomen and now it's just awful. I still have a B belly. Never popped out to a D. The lower part of my belly now hangs down and it's hard to bend or do much of anything. I know all pregnant moms feel this way at the end though regardless of fat or thin. I'm hoping I don't have a lot of loose skin. If so I wil lose weight and then get a tummy tuck because no one wants a belly that hangs down past their hoo-haw.

I've been swimming 3-4 days a week which is great. Walking is uncomfortable with my stomach so big yet I'm dead set on being active.

My big happy is that I only gained 21 lbs this entire pregnancy and I really thought I would have gained a lot more!

So jealous! I hope my baby comes soon! I'm due on Monday. I hear ya, it's hard having a baby belly on top of already having a belly. Everything is twice as hard. Putting on shoes forget it. I'll stick to my sandals. I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself as well, I only gained 30 lbs this pregnancy. With my first I gained 60! I've been having cramping and contractions here and there, but nothing big yet. I'm getting anxious, but I know he will come when he's ready. Good luck Sunday!

I'm 39w6d today. Being induced in less than 12 hours due to my GD. I never got a D belly, it remained a B I was fortunate not to gain any weight for the pregnancy still as of today I've lossed 7lbs. At one point I was down more than 25lbs. This is my first baby.

I was lucky to have a D belly. I had my baby girl 2 weeks ago and I have already lost all the 30lbs I gained during the pregnancy. Now I just have the 70lbs I had to lose before getting pregnant. I miss my pregnant belly - at least then my big belly had a purpose. Now, although I am back at my pre-pregnancy weight I look bigger and really flabby and my jeans give me a massive muffin top. I am starting some light exercise tomorrow - gotta get in shape for my baby girl!
