Chubby ladies help me out!

jenniferjilson · August 2015

Hello ladies (:

I am just over 13 weeks prego, due February 23, 2016. I am around 5'5, my starting weight was 170, i wore a size 14 roughly. I've already gained 10 pounds, basically because that's the only way I could get past the nausea. If my stomach was empty during first trimester, THAT was when I thought I was going to throw up. So, I'm up there for weight gain. But anyways, I was just wondering if there was anyone close to my size that has any bump pics so I can see what others similar to me looked like, and when exactly they started showing.

I just want to look pregnant, not fat ):

HHHEEEELLLLPPPPPP!

There is a thread every Wednesday called hump day bump day or HBBD use the search to find them and you'll see thousands of bump pics.

macdeezy · August 2015

I'm 5'4 and a size 14.
Weighing 180.
Luckily, i haven't gained any weight yet and i'm 18 weeks.
I'm hardly showing, i just look chunky.
I wouldn't worry about "just looking fat" everyone grows at their own rate.

You'll get a bump in no time girl.

I feel the same way! I've been waiting to find a post like this one. I'm 5'1 and was like 150, size 10-12. I've gained weight too because of the 1st trimester nausea too. I want to look prego too! But I figure if baby is healthy and I'm at least trying to exercise and eat better I'm not going to worry. I'm not comfortable posting a picture of my belly but maybe I will get the guts. Keep in touch!!!! When is your due date? I'm 2-11-16

I'm 5'3, size 14/16. Now 18 weeks. Some days I feel like I just look fat, others I feel like I look pregnant. I've gained about 7 lbs. (Started at 207, athletic bulid)

mullenixj · August 2015

I tried to attached a picture from this week but it won't let me

chewie5990 · August 2015

It took a while for me to pop out but I'm about 5'3 and weighed about 160 pre pregnancy (sizes 12-14) so far I've gained about 13 pounds this pic was from 22 weeks and now I'm 24 weeks and seems like the bump gets bigger everyday

Jessie42613 · August 2015

This isn't something only for chubby girls. I also gained 10lbs during 1st tri for the same reason as you (nausea), but it's leveled off and I hardly gained anything else during 2nd tri, and I'm 27 weeks now.

Once you get past the nausea, just try to eat as healthy as you can, don't give in to every nonsense craving, and keep your body moving. You will gain what you need and it will all be fine.

celainev · August 2015

I'm 5'6 and started weighing 120 lbs. Been recommended to gain weight so I was happy with my current 13 lb weight gain at 21w3d. I, too, had to eat to stay away from nausea. My doctor is pleased as well. I've had a lot of hip discomfort during the first trimester and have definitely increased in hip size. Chest hasn't gotten any bigger but my pregnancy belly sure has!

I would talk to your doctor about your weight increase goals as it is different for everyone.
Photo attached was from 20weeks.

ElizabethAnneBogle · August 2015

I am confused with my body. I am 5'4 and 170lb I think I'm pregnant but 6hpts and a blood test are all negative yet I have not had my cycle in 16 weeks is it normal for chubby gals like us to not get a positive result until later in the pregnancy the symptoms all say yes but the tests say no. My Dr. said all the symptoms sounded like pregnancy. Can anyone help with my confusion

Zetabear · August 2015

I'm 5'7 and my starting weight was 170 and I did not gain any weight durning my first trimester due to the nausea. I'm 15 weeks now and still have not gained any weight but no baby bump yet. My friends tell me my backside and hips are getting bigger along with my chest but those are the only tell tale signs that I'm pregnant. They say if this is your first baby you won't show right away but then again everyone's body is different. I'm due feb 20th so I can't wait to start showing either! Good luck to you

Go to an OB and get an ultrasound.

RosieXRiveter · August 2015

I'm 5'7, size 14 pre pregnancy (weighing 209lbs before I got pregnant, now down 3 lbs due to being very ill the last several week), 13 weeks pregnant now, but I also just look mostly fat. Haha. Certain clothes make me look/feel more pregnant, but I feel like the bloating has gone down in the last several weeks, so now I feel like it's more "baby" than bloat, but it looks about the same size. Haha. Niiiice and chubby. The picture I attached is from week 10....

I feel like I have to say you may be testing too early. But really what I want to say is if you were pregnant then you would have a positive HPT and a positive blood test. It's basic biology, really.

mrscammack · August 2015

I was about your weight before pregnancy, 165 and same height. I was so worried I'd just get fat looking and not look pregnant, but I surprised myself by actually having a baby bump (I'm 19 weeks), and have been told I definitely look pregnant, not fat lol

Knottie66853531 · August 2015

Same height started at 150 gained 5lbs in the first tri. Due 2/24/16 my pants don't fit and all I feel is fat. I'm having a hard time with food. I can only eat weird things. Veggies make me throw up, fruit some times. I like pasta.

Knottie59802221 · September 2015

I'm 5'7" and weighed about 200 pounds before pregnancy. I had a super physical job and lost 19 pounds my first trimester. I'm 13 weeks right now. I don't have a visable baby bump, just my belly is getting harder to the touch and filling out a bit. It seriously looks like I'm just gaining belly fat, lol. But at the rate this little one is going, it won't be that way for long!

No. Chubby girls does not get a positive test later. Not sure where you got that information. I got my BFP prior to my missed period both times.

Negative pregnancy test and blood test mean not pregnant.

Get an US if it makes you feel better. After you get a new Dr that has a brain.

jrouge12 · September 2015

@jenniferjilson I am 5'8 and was about 195 before getting pregnant. At my last appointment I was only up a pound (I eat all the time) but have only just really started to bump out. I am 21+3. I find the belly band and maternity pants really help make a blump look more bump.

@ElizabethAnneBogle I am not sure where you heard that chubby girls get positive results later. HPTs detect pretty small amounts of the pregnancy hormone in urine. If you were 16 weeks there is no way you would be getting false negatives at this point. I was 3 days late when I had a very dark positive line on my HPT and I'm no tiny girl. I agree with other posters that you may need a new doctor. Also "false pregnancies" (also known as hysterical pregnancies) are known to produce real physical symptoms. If you are TTC I hope you get your BFP soon.

SusanS118 · September 2015

This was me at 18 weeks. I weighted 185.

tawnalk · September 2015

Started pregnancy at 260. Lost almost 10 lbs first trimester. 19 weeks today and still haven't made it back to the pre-pregnancy weight. I'm starting to show but it's much higher than I would have expected. I promised the I look fat not pregnant stage doesn't last long. Mine lasted maybe three weeks.

savanahbrenda · October 2015

I'm 5'2 and weighing 194 right now I've always been on the heavier side but probably don't appear to be as heavy as I am.I'm 21 wks 5 days pregnant my belly finally just started to look like a baby belly and not just like I was chubby

I'm heavier, like size 20. I got my positive hpt the day my cycle was suppose to start. Good luck to you!

eshook2 · October 2015

This happen to me but I wasn't pregnant my menstral cycle was all off. The dr put me on progesterone and two month later I was pregnant. But I would go to the dr and get everything confirmed.

fourtsixand2 · October 2015

I'm almost 14 weeks. Size 16 typically.
Definitely rocking the chubby girl figure.

kaytlyn567 · October 2015

I'm 20 weeks now, and have only gained a pound. I actually lost 11lbs the first 17 weeks then gained the pound. I'm 5'4 and about 190. Although the I haven't gained weight my stomach is more firm and pushed out! Didn't start to show noticably until 16 weeks!

jmjarling · October 2015

Back at 14 weeks this was were i was. I had 4 months off of working out due to injury....so I was 155 at 14 weeks i put 15 lbs on....and I'm 5"6. I started working out again around 14-15 weeks now im 22 weeks and you can see such a difference with looking chunky and looking pregnant. I am now 160 but feel very comfortable there ....

kqualls5 · October 2015

I'm 5'7 and my pre-pregnany weight was 178, which is about 20 pounds heavier than where I like to be. Around 14 weeks I started to get a bump, but now I'm 26 weeks and very noticeably pregnant. It sucks wanting to look pregnant but just looking like you had an extra piece of pizza, but everyone gets there at different times I guess!

marajay6 · October 2015

Here are my 10, 18, and 26 week bump photos. No bump in the 10 week photo (the is my normal sized chubby belly), was wearing my non-maternity "fat" jeans in the 18 week photo.

I am 5'8" and have a bit of a wide frame, so it took longer for my bump to really get round and stick out. I just looked more chubby than normal for a long time. A short woman has less room, so she will most likely start to pop earlier.

jmathi0149 · October 2015

I'm 5'2 and 190. I have only gained two pounds. This picture is from last week at 17 weeks. I am a size large/ xl size 14 jeans. Most of my Pre pregnancy clothes still fit.

Knottie19458446 · October 2015

I am 5'4" and I started out at 225 but have actually gone down to 200 but here was my bump at 16 weeks! I started showing early for a big girl from what everyone has said!

kathryns88 · October 2015

Was 11.5stone when I found out I was pregnant, had little sickness & cravings for carbs. Have gone up 1 and a half dress sizes!!! I'm almost 15 weeks pregnant now. Still looking just fat lol but have a little bump,

RLVbaby · October 2015

I'm 5'7" and my pre-pregnancy weight was 190. I'm 14+1 weeks now and I've lost 6 pounds from food aversions etc. People tell me I look pregnant but I just feel chubby.

mruda · October 2015

Everyone shows at a different time. I am 24 weeks now and didn't show until maybe 21-22 weeks. I am 5'4 and about 190 pre-pregnancy. A friend of mine is probably about 115 pre-pregnancy and also didn't show until after 20 weeks.

ellarawls · November 2015

@ElizabethAnneBogle Prior to getting pregnant I had times where my period just went away due to stress. A year before I got pregnant I had nausea and didn't have my period for about 3 months. I would check with your doctor or an OB.
