Plus Sized Bellies?
beeunit

I'm a lurker from first tri, but am very curious. I'm on the chunky side, and am wondering when I'm actually going to start showing. And I'm worried that I won't look like a cute pregnant lady, I'll just look like a lard. Any plus-sized mommas care to share their belly pics? Sorry if this isn't the right board for this, I just figured you ladies are the furthest along so belly pictures must be here somewhere!

Re: Plus Sized Bellies?
i just popped i really didnt show with DD until 25 26weeks this pic is 26 weeks with # 2
oops forgot to post that too i was also a size 16/18 with DD this time 12/14
Our crazy, wonderful life
I was a 14/16 before and think I started to show around 16 weeks. Really, once I started wearing maternity tops, people noticed I was pregnant, whether that be because I wasn't skinny in the first place, or was showing. This is my 35 week pic in my bathing suit top. I have put on too much weight, and yet still, at least in my opinion, look very pregnant, not just chunky. And I think people around me agree because I smiles and doors held open for me.
(And the pic will prob be giant because no matter what I try, I can't figure out how to make it smaller).

~Started TTC 2/13. BFP #4 3/13. EDD 11/8/13. Hoping for smooth sailing!~
I, too started to show around 15-16 weeks. I looked a little chubbier before then, depending on what I wore I looked pregnant, but was definitely showing at about 15 weeks. Now I just look huge! I've only gained 15lbs, and I suggest trying to control your weight as much as you can during your pregnancy. Plus-sized women with a higher BMI do not need to gain very much weight during a healthy pregnancy- so just be smart! That's all I can tell ya!
Good luck with the rest of the road!
Here is my husband and I at a wedding I am 34 weeks
I was an 18 pp and when I look back at pictures...didn't really start obviously showing until well after 30 weeks. It really popped around 35! Here's my most recent pic as of 39 weeks, but if you check my blog there's a belly pic every week since 10 weeks.

I will tell you a secret... get a "b-band" from target. For $19 you will feel like a "pretty pregnant women". I used it at 19 weeks and it gave me the "pregnant stomach". I was a 16/18 PP
Here is my 24 week and my 30 week pics - I showed to myself at about 18 weeks, to friends/family about 22 weeks and am just getting strangers attention now
and 30 weeks:
Unable to even.
