Plus size bumps!

[magneticfield55]

Have seen a few threads where women are feeling crap for being plus size and pregnant. I feel crap sometimes too, especially when googling pregnancy and only seeing representations of slim pregnant women and nobody who looks like me (no offence at all to slim women). I couldn't really find much that wasn't critical or bump pics!

So here's a thread for plus size bumps if you're feeling up to posting yours!

Here's mine- 25 weeks today!

Thanks Tori, that's reassuring. I just don't want to gain too much as feel a bit uncomfy already. X

I was the OP and this is 33 weeks! Bra and pants but don't care. Currently 190lbs so gained 8lbs. I think many of us who start out big don't gain a lot, though that could be anecdata. Nobody is worried and all my GD tests are clear so I'm not stressing either. But woah I look all pregnant now and I am enjoying my bump (also husband thinks I look beautiful)

Cheshirem2be, good luck! :D

Love this thread :) I'm just a few weeks pregnant and can't wait for my bump to pop. You all look gorgeous and have fabulous bumps.

I've got my 16 week midwife appointment this afternoon and I've been having some pain and a bit of brown discharge so I'm really anxious. I'm over weight and concerned this could be an issue for her to hear the baby's heartbeat, did anyone have a problem with that? I really want to hear baby's heartbeat today I've been looking forward to it and it will relieve my anxiety.

I'm overweight and concerned that this might effect whether she can hear the baby's heartbeat. Did anyone have that problem?

I'll try and post a picture tomorrow.

I'm very overweight and midwives have never had a problem hearing the heartbeat.

I'm loving all the bumps. Just recently found out I'm pregnant myself. Currently have a bi of 41.5 eek. Can't wait til I have a beautiful bump too.

Where are you ladies buying overbump bootleg jeans?

Looking down at my 33w bump. Isn't it huge? I feel huge anyway.

Here's me again at 34+4, rapidly expanding and in absolute agony with SPD. These last weeks just drag by so slowly. Hope you ladies n bumps are doing okay x
