Plus size bumps!

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!

I didn't show until about 25 weeks and still don't look pregnant unless I'm wearing maternity clothes! Only had one 'oh, you're pregnant!' remark and I was wearing a maternity top with horizontal stripes ha, so not the best look!

(BMI 32 at booking, size 16 bottoms, 5'6, quite fit (good ab muscles??))

That's reassuring Bree, thank you!

Despite my high BMI I consider myself also to be 'quite fit'; until recently I was running quite a bit (5/10k at a time), plus a lifetime of holding in your stomach muscles will strengthen them, I guess! Grin

I've swear I've got abs of steel under there somewhere...
