Re: Plus Size Check-In
it has been okay I have been feeling a bit better which has been nice
2. any new or current concerns?
as I said above I am concerned about my weight more this pregnancy as I am heavier than before and I barely passed my GD test last pregnancy and want to make sure i keep my weight in check for that too. also im just not feeling comfortable in my own skin
3. what is a win you have had this week?
i have been working out more regularly which has helped my morning sickness actually
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes? i have liked some of the things from gap but hoping to try some zulily items from different brands
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season?
I love decorations and smells like apple cinnamon
its been okay. Ate wayyy too much food over the holiday.
2. any new or current concerns?
I'm really struggling about my weight. I'm about 10lbs heavier than when I got pregnant with DD and that really scares me. I'm trying to stay positive and just be healthy and active as possible but I feel like a failure. This pregnancy was unplanned and I was in the process of losing weight but definitely was not where I wanted to be yet. I really wanted a better pregnancy this time but I'm scared that's not going to happen. Idk why I'm so worried I was overweight with DD too and she was healthy as can be. It's just frustrating. I've struggled with this my entire life
3. what is a win you have had this week?
ive been doing good at staying active. So I got that going for me.
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes?
Old navy mostly
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season?
I love giving gifts. I'm so excited for everyone to open what I got them
this week has been pretty good. I’m exhausted but feel like I’m not sleeping well which is frustrating. But I’ve been feeling mostly ok!
2. I’m also a little concerned about my weight. I’ve been hungry and I was hoping that I’d have some aversions to keep me from being hungry. I’m honoring that once I feel more myself I can get some good exercise in again.
3. I think a win for me today was going out with my friend this morning even though I just wanted to lay on the couch!
4. Uh- I generally like old navy maternity or target because I’m cheap even though I like some of the nicer maternity store clothes better
5. I love traditions! Making cookies, spending time with family, decorating the tree. Stuff like that.
@raampaige We are so similar! We weren't totally planning this either and I was definitelh hoping to lose more weight too. I feel the same way about almost being more hard on myself. it is so hard when it has been a struggle for so long. hugs you can do this!!
@hillbillywife I hope you can sleep better soon! that is so hard when you naturally more tired anyway right now. If you ever want a workout accountability person once you feel up to it let me know. I know i definity need it!
- Monday and Tuesday sucked. Today I have felt a lot better.
2. any new or current concerns?
- anxious to see baby Friday. I had cramping last night with no blood, so I keep telling myself that it’s good and baby is growing.
3. what is a win you have had this week?
- I ate lunch and didn’t feel sick afterwords!
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes?
- edit: I go to motherhood’s website. I like their pants.
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season?
- lights, decorations, baking, and presents lol
Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016.
Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015.
They will be forever missed.
Do Over please? This week has been the worst! Work has been crap, I'm so sick (not morning sick, but severe cold), and my dh is being a FH.
2. any new or current concerns?
No, thankfully. Very fortunate to have had a good sono Monday, so relieved that I've seen baby and it is REAL.
3. what is a win you have had this week?
That. Saw baby and heartbeat, all right on track.
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes?
I'm not there yet! Probably Target or Motherhood...IDK. Haven't even thought about it yet.
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season?
Memories. That sounds weird, but my best memories of Christmas include my mom and favorite Grandpa who are no longer with us. I really treasure getting to be reminded of all the joy we shared during the Christmases we had together.

2- got in the scale yesterday and wow weight! Not sure how or why I gained like 6-7 pounds in basically a week. Hoping it’s water weight. My eating hasn’t changed. Also still struggling with the whole moneynpart of this pregnancy and how we are going to make it. I’m stressing way to much.
3- I slept great last night!!!! Insomnia is my number one symptom while pregnant and I have been bummed it is already here but last night my body gave me a break.
4- last pregnancy I did motherhood. I’m going to try some target brand this pregnancy. Bummed that we have to have both long pants and capris due to when the babies are due.
5- when money isn’t tight I love being able to buy for family. I like that people are happy during this season.
1.how has this week gone? Extremely slowly! I only found out last Friday and my appointment is this Friday.
2. any new or current concerns? My weight is a big concern for me. I was actually planning to have weight loss surgery next summer. But surprise, I'm getting a baby instead. I'm about 45lb heavier than last time, and really hope to gain as little as possible this time.
3. what is a win you have had this week?
I've only been at my job 4 months and they are already asking me to help train new people. Which it's not like they are lacjingnin experienced people.
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes? Luckily I can wear scrubs at work. So, I'm not worrying about maternity clothes just yet. Clothes in general give me a headache though.
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season? EVERYTHING! Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year . People who know me, know the way to heart is through Christmas and purple.
2. any new or current concerns? My weight is really concerning me. As with a few of you this was TOTALLY unplanned and I was intending to lose some weight before having a second baby. I have been watching my weight which I probably shouldn't be doing as much as I am and so far no gain, I am calling that a win.
3. what is a win you have had this week? Oh Lord, I would have to say its that we remembered to move the elf every night so far lol
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes? Last time we lived in FL so I got away with a lot of Maxi Dresses and skirts that I got for Old Navy. This time we are in PA, I am looking to try old navy again, zulily and ross . Our target only has Maternity jeans no maternity" work" pants, which is disappointing
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season? All of it, the music, smells, traditions, lights. I love it all.
2. any new or current concerns? Not really, I'm in a good place today.
3. what is a win you have had this week? I ate three relatively normal meals yesterday for the first time in weeks.
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes? A lot of Old Navy. I check their sale section and have scored a few tops for less than $5 each.
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season? The decorations and just the general magical vibe. I just wish I lived somewhere that it snowed, that would be icing on my Christmas cake.
@raampaige the most important thing is a healthy baby, I understand your concerns- I was also trying to lose more weight before getting pregnant. Just try to hang in there and do whatever you did last time! It sounds like Baby was healthy and all was fine!
@bdesterhouse FX for you for tomorrow!
@brittany121087 good luck tomorrow! and my all time fav holiday is also Christmas! I love to decorate the whole house and be literally start November 1st! I feel like anyone who loves the holidays as much as me is a good person!!! Lol
1.how has this week gone?
Im not feeling so good- MS finally caught up to me. I was feeling great earlier in the week then yesterday it’s was so bad- I couldn’t even come on here because I was feeling so sick.
2. any new or current concerns?
same as all of you! My weight! I’m very nervous because the doc has me taking that damn glucose test on Saturday. I’ve been eating all good choice meals so I’ve lost weight but I know that’s not enough.
3. what is a win you have had this week?
My win- is kicking butt at work even though I feel like crap! And getting to the gym this week!
4. plus size maternity clothes can be hit or miss where your go to store to buy flattering and comfortable maternity clothes?
still figuring that out! But judging by your answers I’ll check out Old Navy.
5. GYKY: what is your favorite thing about the holiday season? I love everything! I’m a Christmas finatic- I decorate starting novemeer 1st! I have more decorations then my apartment can use! My hope is to have big house to decorate one day!!
@catftm2018 good luck! I had GD with DD. it actually was not that terrible and I controlled it easily with diet. So I'm sure that's in my future
