Plus Sized Mamas

in May 2017 Moms
I thought we were going to do some sort of check in for our plus sized mamas. Is that something we still want to do? If so, here are some questions for today:

1. Are you a FTM or a STM?
2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized?
3. How are your clothes fitting?
4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!)

    I would like to do it!  I guess I'll start!

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM?  STM

    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized?  No, I have so many other issues to worry about with pregnancy.  It doesn't even make my top 10.

    3. How are your clothes fitting?  I had to buy maternity on Wednesday night.  According to the doc I have lost weight by my pants sure don't show it.

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!)  Torrid!  Love it!

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM? STM

    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized? I am 25 lbs heavier than I was with my first, so that makes me a little nervous. So far I've lost weight, so I'm hoping I can stay within the 10-15 that the doctor wants me to gain. 

    3. How are your clothes fitting? I can still fit in my pants, but they feel a bit tight. I might pull out the maternity box soon. I'm a worry wart and wonder why they aren't tighter than they are. 

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!) I'm obsessed with Target. I shop there too often.

    @KMD1106 I totally TB stalked you.  So, you are 12 weeks, right?  May I ask how many pregnancies you've had?

    Hi, I'm new here!
    1. Are you a FTM or a STM? FTM
    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized? Yes, but they are becoming less and less the further along I get. 
    3. How are your clothes fitting? I'm still wearing my regular clothes. Pants are a little uncomfortable but they fit. I'll be purchasing a few maternity items soon to try out. 
    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!) Target, for sure!

    I'm in!

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM?  FTM

    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized? Just weight gain. I've lost 13lbs since finding out. I'm hoping not to gain anymore than 15 for the entire pregnancy. 

    3. How are your clothes fitting? Everything started feeling tight around the waist a week ago. So I made the move to maternity. Ordered a bunch of stuff from PinkBlush. Love them better than my regular clothes.

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!) I've been doing GwynnieBee for 2 years. I swear I'd never have anything to wear without it.

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM?: STM
    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized?: No, not really. I weighed slightly less when I had DD and everything turned out completely fine.  I'm not worried this time either.
    3. How are your clothes fitting?: Ugh badly.  But boy do I love maternity pants!
    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!): Sur La Table - I love to cook and I'm a sucker for kitchen gadgets!

    BFP #1 12/23/12 EDD 9/3/13 DD #1 8/26/13

    BFP #2  2/25/16  EDD 11/5/16 MMC 4/15/16

    BFP #3  8/31/16  EDD  5/12/17 It's a GIRL!

    @JonesBaby0624, yes 12 weeks. This is my third pregnancy. I had one early mc before having my 3 year old DD. You?

    @KMD1106 I'm 11+2.  My pants started getting tight so early.  This is my 6th pregnancy I've had 4 miscarriages and 2 stillborns.  I just had a loss at 23 weeks in March. I'm guessing my ute wasn't completely back to normal and that's why I'm needing maternity so quickly.

    @JonesBaby0624, I thought I had seen that you had losses. I'm so sorry. That makes sense that you would need it quicker. I'm curious, no pressure to share, do they know what happened with the losses? Praying this baby is your rainbow!

    I love this idea! 


    1. Are you a FTM or a STM? FTM
    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized? Not really any concerns. A little self conscious when doing abdominal US and dopplera
    3. How are your clothes fitting? Still fit in all my close. I've lost some weight so I'm finding out my winter clothes fit looser than last year (yay!)
    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!) I love zulily or Target. I ordered some stuff off pink blush last night to see how things fit.


    @JonesBaby0624  I'm 1 day ahead of you.

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM?
    third time! 
    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized?
    not really. This isn't my first rodeo, so I know what to expect. 
    3. How are your clothes fitting?
    haven't gained any weight, so that's a relief. 
    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!) I love old navy, lane Bryant, target

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM? Second time mom! Currently have DD who is 2.5

    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized?
    A little, this pregnancy was a surprised and I cried when I found out. I was just starting to get a jogging/weight lifting routine. My husband just got back from his deployment and is currently guaranteed home for 6 months so this was supposed to be "my time." I hate being treated differently. Everyone is just SO sure I'm going to have GD, but I don't as of right now (and I didn't with my last pregnancy). I'm just annoyed with my doctor situation (I currently don't have one, the Army hospital is full so even though I did have a doctor they decided to refer me, so I am waiting to hear from a civilian doctor) 

    3. How are your clothes fitting? Fine! I mostly live in Lane Bryant leggings. I just got a pair of jeggings from there and I loooooove them! 

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? (any store counts!) Target, hands down.

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM? STM , DD will be 2 in January
    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized? No. I lost almost 30 lbs with DD and then more when I delivered and this pregnancy seems to be on track so far (11 weeks). Dr doesn't have any concerns except for making sure I'm getting enough calories due to my MS. 
    3. How are your clothes fitting? my pre-pregnancy clothes still fit...a little snug on my tummy, but I've already started incorporating my maternity pants because they are so much more comfortable! I get a lot of side eye from DH for breaking them out so early.

    1. Are you a FTM or a STM?  FTM!
    2. Do you have concerns about your pregnancy related to being plus sized?  I'm a little concerned about gestational diabetes, even though my numbers and markers of health, at least pre-pregnancy were normal/good.
    3. How are your clothes fitting?  My pants are WAY TIGHT even though the scale shows I haven't gained anything.
    4. GTKY: What's your favorite store? I really like amazon.com.  It's so easy....
