Plus size First time mama 👋

I’m 29 and 10 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I’ve only told closest family & friends. Feeling pretty lonely and honestly clueless and it would be so lovely to find some kind of “community” with other first time mama’s going through similar. I’m also a plus size first time mama so naturally have some additional worries & anxieties.

So far we’ve had 2 private early reassurance scans, had our booking appointment (which my weight/ High BMI was not brought up and I was treated like any other woman which was lovely!) and have been given our 12 week scan & 16 week midwife appt.

any other plus size first time mamas out there? How have you found the process so far?

Me! I'm high risk because of my weight but my midwife wasn't concerned. I'm also 10 weeks 🙂

Me too! I am only 5 weeks and have had a miscarriage in past so very worried!
