I'm plus sized I guess authiugh I hate that term! I was 229 pre pregnancy but due to extreme morning sickness I lost 21lbs. Got down to 207. (Blessing in disguise). Baby is good, blood pressure is good. I was so scared about gaining weight as well. I've been watching what I eat, drinking lits of water and eating lits of fruits and whole grains. I haven't gained any weight as of yet. 12wks exactly today.
I'm plus size and 14 w 4d, I am super bloated so it makes me look 5-6 months. I had a guy say to me yesterday, not much longer huh? Why does anyone feel they have the right to say their opinion about another persons body, especially men. One guy told my friend she was eating too much, excuse me??!! And she only gained 20 lbs so I can't wait to see what people say about me when I'm 6-8 months along, I may lose my job, lmao. Keep your heads held high ladies!
I'll probably be a B-belly as well, which as a FTM makes me a little sad, I just want that pregnant belly you always see. I'm so glad to have you ladies on here, my one mommy best friend had a perfectly round belly and I just know she wouldn't understand my frustration. We have our 12 week appointment today, can't wait!
Im 12+3 today. I have the aforementioned "B belly". I hate it cuz it doesnt makr me look pregnant just fat...er. lol. But im having trouble finding maternity clothes! All the maternity stores and sections stop at like XL and im sittin here like soo am I not supposed to get pregnant cuz im fat? Plus im tall which doesn't make it any easier. Anyone else having that problem?
My problem w/ maternity clothes is that when I do find plus size.. the belly isn't big enough. I already have a belly before getting pregnant so when I try on the maternity tops they just fit with no room for my belly to grow. Very frustrating!!

FTM and 13w4d pregnant. I'm 5"1 215lbs. My blood pressure has been great at every visit, but they've had a stern talk with me telling me I shouldn't gain more than 15lbs. Although plus size i consider myself pretty healthy, never had any health concerns. My biggest complaint is finding plus size maternity clothes.
Have you tried Motherhood Maternity? I found some great pieces there- a bit pricey though
I'm plus size and a FTM as well!! 13 weeks 1 day and I already have a lil bump... Well since I'm chubby its like my belly is rounder and sticking out more now lol. I'm worried about clothes tho!!! Anyone found any cute plus size maternity clothes yet??
I'm plus size, mama to one 18 year old son and expecting a daughter on Oct. 8!
Never had any problems with my first pregnancy (of course I was also 18!) - this one has been a bit more challenging. GD and I'm sssooo tired. (then again I'm 37!)
Some people tend to get really judgey with plus size moms.. it's nice to have others here who can relate!
My hardest part so far has been fining maternity clothes. Especially pants, the maternity stores have the smallest section for plus size women. I had a selection of 2 different styles of work pants. I'm 14wks5days now.
I'm a plus size ftm. I'm 5'2" and I wear a 24-26 usually. I've lost about 14 lbs so far because of morning sickness. My doctor doesn't want me to gain any weight so we'll see how this goes. She also said to not beat myself up if it happens. Just trying to eat as healthy as possible and be active. So far that hasn't happened because I've been so exhausted but I'm coming up on the end of my first tri (11w4d) and starting to feel like I have more energy. I haven't had any complications yet, I go back to the doctor next week so we'll see how my blood work was from last month :-). Haven't had to hunt yet for maternity clothes- I've been able to get by wearing the same stuff, though my pants aren't buttoning so I just use the hair tie trick. I plan on wearing lots of dresses this summer as it's soo difficult to find 3x and 4x maternity clothes.
I'm 12 weeks today and due on Halloween! I'm a FTM and am 5'4 and was 225 prepregnancy. I definitely have a b belly and am hoping it rounds out. I am definitely showing and wearing maternity pants. With the over the belly pants and a belly band I'm rounder.
I'm worried about GD as I am already pre diabetic (very low numbers but it's in the category) and I've had a hard time eating a healthy diet due to hyperemesis. I'm basically eating nothing but Popsicles and simple carbs. Now that I'm 12 weeks I'm hoping I can start to eat well again. Before pregnancy I kept a no sugar vegan diet and did yoga, walking, swimming and saw a trainer. My MS was so bad I stopped virtually everything! I only lost 10 lbs due to the MS but since they put me on zofran gained back 5. I'm worried I will be HUGE by the time I have this little one. I already feel like I'm bigger and walk differently!
I got lots of clothes at old navy. I was a 16 pp and bought jeans and shorts in both a 16 and 18 and several t shirts for $6. I don't think they will fit when I'm in my third trimester but they will get me through the summer. Kohls has a good selection that's bigger so I will probably get some clothes from kohls online when these things get small.
I am a plus size FTM here. I have no clue what my pre preggers weight was bc me and the scale are not friends.lol but I did hop on around week 8 ish and I was 200, but when I went to my 10 week apt I was 214. All my tests came back normal so far fingers crossed. But I went to motherhood and got some cute black pants for work and I plan on going back for some cute tops hopefully. I am having a problem finding a cute bathing suit tho. hopefully I get that cute belly bump that I see some many women have, I just look like I am bloated all the time.
