Re: Plus Size Check In :: 5/19/20
First time.
9w1d
How are you feeling?
I’m good, all things considered. The OB put me back on an antidepressant, so my mood is a lot more stable and it’s making life a lot better.
How are you feeling about body image?
Still kind of meh on it. My skin is driving me crazy, though. I have super dry skin to begin with, and it feels like the pregnancy is making it worse. Also, DH keeps commenting on how my boobs are getting bigger 🤣
GTKY: What type of music are you into?
Mostly hard rock and heavy metal. Favorite bands include Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Alice Cooper, Stabbing Westward, and Papa Roach.
Anything concerns or anything else to add?
not that I can think of right now!

How are you feeling? Pretty good, I'm tired and starting to get heartburn after eating certain foods but no nausea.
How are you feeling about body image? So far so good. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to look up how much I gained last pregnancy. I ended up losing 9 lbs overall from my first visit to my last visit before DS was born. I wish I hadn't looked it up because I don't want to hold myself up to the same standard this time.
GTKY: What type of music are you into? Mostly classic rock and some jam bands. I've very into the Grateful Dead and Dead & Company currently. My Spotify account is really getting fine-tuned while I'm at home.
Anything concerns or anything else to add? Nope
Edit - How far along I am. I guess add pregnancy brain to my symptoms haha.
Expecting #3, have a 4 yo & 20 month sons

How are you feeling?
Still tired, still some nausea. Mostly anxious over how pregnancy plays out during the pandemic and hubs being laid-off for 2 months and counting.
How are you feeling about body image?
At home in loungewear I mentally feel like a slob, but I'm physically comfortable. When I have to leave the house and wear jeans I'm uncomfortable physically and mentally because nothing fits. I feel like a mid-stage Violet as she expands to a blueberry at the chocolate factory, but with a less forgiving wardrobe. And I can't find maternity shorts anywear, let alone affordable ones.
GTKY: What type of music are you into?
Alternative rock, country, classic rock, but mostly a weird subset of smaller bands that play something like grungy-bluegrass or blues rock. It started with a local favorite (Left Lane Cruiser) and grew based on similar stuff I discovered on IheartRadio.
Anything concerns or anything else to add?
Seriously considering chopping up some old clothes to see if I can Franken-sew some comfortable shorts with my limited skills.

How are you feeling?
I feel good so far today, had my appointment yesterday and everything was perfect
How are you feeling about body image?
I feel fine right now, worried about how I’ll feel if I gain too much, but I’m really keeping an eye on that.
GTKY: What type of music are you into?
I love all music!
Anything concerns or anything else to add?
i was wondering any plus size mamas have to do the glucose testing twice? My grandma had diabetes so I’m sure that’s part of it but last pregnancy I only did it at 26 weeks. This time I’m doing it around 10 weeks.
How are you feeling? Very tired, random bouts of nausea, but it’s been more manageable than past pregnancies
How are you feeling about body image? Terrible. I am currently 30 lbs heavier than the start of my last pregnancy. I had recently started a new antidepressant that has really been great for me, but I feel like my weight started rising with it. Then quarantine weight- it is real! Plus first trimester-only-craving-carbs weight and it’s a recipe for disaster. I have always struggled with my weight and body image and pregnancy makes me fret over it more. I’ve considered reconnecting with my counselor who moved offices a few months back to kind of get some body image issues under control. It’ll be a matter of if I actually have time and energy though once the summer and fall semesters start back up.
GTKY: What type of music are you into? Mostly country. Texas country and some Nashville country. Husband and I had just seen Cody Johnson at the San Antonio rodeo before I got pregnant, and before concerts stopped. ❤️
Anything concerns or anything else to add? Not yet
How are you feeling? Tired
How are you feeling about body image? Always been self conscious so I definitely can’t wait for the baby bump to pop
GTKY: What type of music are you into? Pop/R&B
Anything concerns or anything else to add? It annoys me that people assume you get gestational diabetes because you are heavy. I have it and I was reading an article on it and it basically said that. It sucks because it’s not the case.

How are you feeling?
Pretty good, thought I was lucky with no nausea but that started last week.
How are you feeling about body image?
No worries yet, I started back at the office yesterday after 2 months of teleworking and I can still wear my normal clothes.
GTKY: What type of music are you into?
All types, favorite station is 2000’s music.
Anything concerns or anything else to add?
Had my second ultrasound yesterday and got a referral to the high risk group (not because anything is wrong). I have 2 very rare genetic disorders both of which can be fatal/completely debilitating, one of which can be dominant giving me a 50% chance of passing it on. I tried to get genetic testing done before we started trying but the 2 closest doctors (both 4 hours from me) had 2+ year waiting lists. I’m very mildly affect so hoping for the best at that appointment in 2 weeks.
How are you feeling? Honestly, like crap lol but isn't that how pregnancy is? Heartburn and back pain are my big issues right now.
How are you feeling about body image? My pants are just now starting to get snug. Honestly, I don't look forward to the belly but I'm confident that I'll still be feeling fine in my body as that time comes.
GTKY: What type of music are you into? Classical, the occasional stuff from high school days but for the most part, I don't listen to music much these days.
Anything concerns or anything else to add? What sunscreen is best?
