You are not alone in this! I am plus size myself. I lost 30 poounds and on a roll and then found out I was preggo (wasnt planned).
Theres a group that I am in called Prego and Plus size with tons of really sweet and supportive people in the group! You should join!
I hope things are going well for you so far! Messege me anytime!

Thanks Jennifer..

I am 9w pregnant with triplets and I am also plus sized. You are not alone at all :-)

I lost 30 lbs before I got pregnant with my son. Then I gained 50 while pregnant. I'm convinced it was b/c my body hadn't reset to it's new weight as normal. (Actually New York Times recently published an article that moms who lost weight before getting pregnant gained more!)

This time I was still over weight when I got pregnant. I'm 23 weeks now and have only gained about 5.5 lbs from prepregnancy. So keep your fingers crossed with me that you and I will both continue this trend! My Wii fit goal is to weigh the same 1 year from when I found out I was pregnant.

Oh one thing that is helping me is that DH had to go back on South Beach (dr's orders). I refuse to do phase 1 b/c I just don't think it's that healthy with pregnancy or nursing, but I do modify what he's doing. I eat my on breakfast of cereal usually. Then maybe add bread to what he's eating for lunch and eat whatever he's eating for dinner. I make sure I keep up plenty of dairy. But the extra protein and SB style snacks seem to really help me stay full.

Oh and for down the line. Lane Bryant sells maternity clothes. Although I'm not sure for how long. They haven't added anything in a while and everything is on sale.

I'm pregnant and plus size, and have been the other three times as well. I gained, at most, 11 pounds and I ate like a normal person. Of course I was 12 years younger the last time, so I'm going to be extra careful this time. Try to eat right and exercise a little every day. You need to be sure you're getting enough calories - though I read today someplace that a pregnant woman only needs about 300 extra a day. Make sure the calories come from good food!

I'm glad to see you all here, it will be easier going through this with friends. I am so happy and excited!

I'm also a plus sized mommy-to-be, currently 23w along. I wasnt always big though. I was 115 when I first got pregnant with my now 6yr DD. I gained 80lbs with her. I was 140 when I became pregnant with my 3yr old DD and gained 19lbs. When I became pregnant this time, I was weighing 185 and I now weigh 188.
For me, its like my body knows I "cant" gain much weight (I'm only supposed to gain 15 this pregnancy).
I'm here if you wanna talk. Best wishes.

I am plus sized too, I wear like a size 20/22. Although, I have lost weight since being pregnant... I am sure it will not last. Join the plus size and prego group :-)

every pregnancy is different. I was larger with my son and I gained 47 pounds. THis time around and I only gained 17 pounds. I have a different attitude this time around.... that helped me as well. I dont feel like I am "entitled" to eat whatever I want because I am pregnant- I really am watching myself!

Yep, I am with you!! I had just started Weight Watchers (two weeks in and 7 lbs down) and BAM! I found out I was pregnant. I guess I should be thankful for the weight I lost since I was pregnant while I was dieting. (5 weeks along).

Like many other women in our situation, I am totally freaked about gaining too much weight when I am already in a size 18. Add me to your friend list and we can commiserate together.

What do you consider plus size? I'm not a stick figure by any means but I've never considered myself plus size. I'm just me. Prepregnancy I wore a size 13/15 jeans. My hips are wide though so that is most of my size right there. I'm 5'6" and weighed 160 before pregnancy. I've gained 8lbs so far this pregnancy and I'm already 6 1/2 months.

Plus Sized Sistah Over Here!!!

Before my son I wore a size 8...I was fine...thick but fine. I weighed 140 pounds when I conceived him, and when I went into the hospital to deliver I weighed 165. Now before I weighed 140 I had gotten up to 200 pounds...I got a personal trainer in January...hit my target weight in July...and found out I was pregnant in August. I've struggled with my weight all of my adult life.

After having him and falling back in love with catfish, pork chops, cubed steak, mash potatoes, corn bread, turnip greens, and yams (can't forget red velvet cake...I'm a southern girl)...I'm now in a size 16 and I weigh around 190 pounds. I already had a FUPA (Fat Upper Pu$$y Area) so...I guess it will just start expanding.

I've already committed to walking at least 30 minutes 4 times a week and I'm making sure that I'm drinking plenty of water and eating as healthy as possible. That's it for now.

I'll get back with it after this baby. I'm gonna get my sexy back!

We're all in this together...
