Re: Plus Size Mom Check In (w/o 7/11-7/18)
Where are the rest of my curvy moms at?!
What is your estimated due date and how far along are you?
7w - a blueberry is residing in my ute.
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms? Any anxiety?
I feel good but there is always anxiety until I’m further along (PGAL brain never goes away).
How are you doing with activity and nutrition?
Activity - I chase my two kids all day... does that count?
Nutrition - meh... I eat what I think will keep my stomach happy and that currently includes many carbs and jolly ranchers. I’ll have a salad again someday!

What is your estimated due date and how far along are you? EDD is 2/13. 9w1d today
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms? Any anxiety? Feeling alright. The nausea seems to be lessening. Most food still sounds gross though, and I’m totally exhausted. I went through IF treatments to get here, so it still seems unreal and I have lots of anxiety.
How are you doing with activity and nutrition? Not terrible, but definitely struggling to find food that is both healthy and doesn’t sound awful. I’m making a new effort to increase exercise. Just walked at the gym for 30 min. My goal is 30 min walking daily. We’ll see how that goes!
What are your questions, comments, and/or concerns? I’m looking into different places to deliver and weighing hospitals vs. birth centers. I’d love to hear others thoughts and experiences with both.
What is your estimated due date and how far along are you?
EDD is 2/22. I’ll be 8 weeks tomorrow!
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms? Any anxiety?
I feel like a broken record but I am full of anxiety. MS was really bad on Monday and slowly tapered off. So now I’m nervous something is wrong. I’m trying my hardest not to think about it and that works for the most part. I’ve has to stop reading the goodbye posts in here which I feel bad about. I have a constant stuffy nose which just developed in the past 4 days. My boobs are still super sensitive. Constipation has kicked back in. I’m still exhausted after 2pm but I’ve gotten used to that, lol. All in all it hasn’t been that bad.
How are you doing with activity and nutrition?
I’ve been doing better with what I eat. I’m still not exercising because I’m so tired.
What are your questions, comments, and/or concerns?
I can’t wait to be out of the first trimester!
@okayestmom12 chasing kids totally counts!!
@darkstar42 good for you for getting to the gym! I keep telling myself after the 1st trimester i’ll have enough energy to move again lol.
My EDD is the 2/24. I'm about 7.5 weeks pregnant, and the MS is real! I don't see my doctor until the 23rd of July and with this being my first i am extremely nervous.
Im doing great with what I'm eating since everything except certain fruits, veggies, and bland carbs make me sick. I have lost weight the last couple weeks but I'm also extremely bloated and tempted to go grt maternity pants soon.
What is your estimated due date and how far along are you? 8w5d based on last U/S. EDD 02/17
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms? Any anxiety? The nausea seems to be subsiding. This kind of raises my anxiety but I keep telling myself it could just be going away. Otherwise I am exhausted but feeling okay.
How are you doing with activity and nutrition? Not too bad. I had GD last time and decided to be proactive in watching what I eat from the beginning. I haven't been able to eat much these last few weeks because of nausea but I plan on continuing to watch what I eat once I can eat normally again. I also have been walking on my lunch hours to attempt at keeping active.
What are your questions, comments, and/or concerns? We seen a heartbeat, I had gone in to see my doctor with some side cramping and she wanted to double check all was okay and that I wasn't having a tubal. We got to see baby and a heartbeat. No pictures and they didn't say how fast it was but it was amazing none the less and my anxiety level went down by 1000.
@darkstar42 I'm in Canada and in my province we don't have birth centers so I have no solid advice. I hope you find some feedback on the different experiences. For that it's worth, I had a pain med free induction in the hospital. The nurses and staff asked me what my preferences were and I felt as if those were always taken into consideration. With that being said the doctor on call would periodically come in and comment on how "large" my baby would be because of GD and said I should just have a c-section. Had it not been for the nurses who advocated for my wishes I don't know how it would have gone. My DD was not in distress and I had not been in labour for any extreme amounts of time. I did not need a C section and my daughter came out weighing 8lbs 14oz. This time around 1 city in my province offers midwifery services in the hospital for those who chose it but it's not offered in my city. If it was, this would 100% be the avenue we would have chosen. But all in all the whole hospital experience was not terrible.
1. EDD is 2/16 so I’m 9 weeks today
2. I’m feeling pretty good. The nausea is definitely not going anywhere but it’s bearable, especially since I’m pretty good after around 2pm. Anxiety is pretty low these days. I’ve had 2 u/s and saw good growth between them and am measuring right on target. I am still concerned that I will gain too much weight through this pregnancy since I’m eating more normally at this phase of pregnancy than last time but I’ll keep trying my best.
3. Activity could be better. I do chase my toddler a fair amount but lately I’ve been so exhausted by the time I’m done with work I can barely make myself do that. He looks at me so sadly that I feel guilty most of the time so I sit in the floor and play cars with him. We’ve also been taking a walk around the block every night, though I use the term walk loosely since it mostly is walking a few steps and then DS stopping to point at something in the sky or on the ground.... “what’s that??”
Nutrition has its ups and downs. I’m definitely still craving fruits and vegetables but I also want French fries daily (don’t let myself have them THAT often, but I indulge) and rice all the time. Rice is a weird craving but it’s delicious.
What is your estimated due date and how far along are you?
February 25th so 7w6d
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms? Any anxiety?
So nauseated all the time. You ladies who say yours is tapering off give me a little hope for the next few weeks! Lots of anxiety but first appt is this week so hoping I feel a little better after that.
How are you doing with activity and nutrition?
Terrible! I was doing great on both until I hit 5 weeks. Now I'm sleeping a lot and just eating anything and everything that keeps me from feeling like I'm going to be sick (so carbs and fruit basically).
Feb 14 10 weeks 4 days
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms? Any anxiety?
pretty good. I my sex drive has been though the roof lately.
How are you doing with activity and nutrition? dose walking the mall for 6 hours with three kids for back too school count as activity? Nutrition pretty good except for my need for ice cream at 930 pm.
What are your questions, comments, and/or concerns? I’ve been on the bump for years and I feel like are BM could be more supportive of first time moms. I get the flagging of random posters when there is clearly a spot of it somewhere else but some flagged post I feel are unnecessary when it’s not really a spot for said poster with certain issues. I feel that as women we should remember that this is a support group.
@darkstar42 I have had a child in a birthing center and hospital and I prefer hospital. I felt like I had more alone time with DH during and after labor at the hospital.
Edd is feb 4. I'm almost 11 wks.
How are you feeling? What are your symptoms? Any anxiety?
I'm super stressed out. I feel good. Lost most symptoms. So now panicking i lost the baby. I know it comes n goes but is stressful. I got a Doppler to help reassure me but i haven't found a heart beat yet. Mind you it may be too early or I'm not using it right. I have a prenatal apt on Friday. Wish i could go sooner but I've already been calling my doc who told me to stop panicking since there's nothing to do to prevent a loss
How are you doing with activity and nutrition?
just too tired to do much. Trying to not go crazy with carbs but im too tired to cook
What are your questions, comments, and/or concerns
any suggestions on what i can do? Anyone lose symptoms and turn out fine? Did you still feel a bloated belly or tightness at 10 wks?

Eta - did you end up with a christmas baby?
@shellperry - I disagree because TB BMBs have never been like WTE or BC, and people have no regard for structure. When we've already had so many losses of people who have been so supportive, coming in all AW/SS/Look at me! just comes off as rude to me. I lurked for like 2 months on my first BMB before posting anything FWIW and it was WAY more brutal. You gotta give support to get it is what it comes down to.
ETA: I'm also kind of an asshole with high expectations, so it is what it is.
