[iowamommy2b]

Hi! I am an obese woman (350 lbs) and was wondering if anyone else is going through what i am and if you have any advice. Im ten weeks today. Im nervous that i wont be able to tell physically i am pregnant later on. Any advice??

I'm over weight... this is my second pregnancy and my 1st one went really good. Only issue I had was preeclampsia in the last month or so. Try to gain as little weight as possible by eating sensibility and walling or other low impact exercises.Lower your sodium intake toi and check your bp often!

I'm not obese or skinny by any means but you'll show and feel your baby :) I've also lost weight this pregnancy  though I look like I gained a bowling ball

A friend of mine is what she calls "a big girl," I don't know her weight but it could perhaps be at least 310 or 320.  She got pregnant by IVF and carried to term, and she did look pregnant by the time she was there.  She lost weight cumulatively during the pregnancy due to her extreme focus on healthy eating.  I think that might have helped define her shape as pregnant, since the rest of her body was reducing and the lower abdomen enlarging.  

Take care, watch your blood pressure.  (I bought a monitor and checked mine often when I was pregs.)  Your heart has to work harder when there is a baby on board.

I'm pregnant and obese as well. I am 27+3. You will eventually look preggo and feel your little one move. It may be a little later then some of the skinny girls out there, but I promise it will happen. If you have questions or there is anything I can help with feel free to contact me:-) Congratulations!!
