I'm a plus size mommy! I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow, due on May 7th. I've gained about 7 pounds but it has taken me awhile to do that. At the beginning I was so nauseous I couldn't eat a thing, and if I did I would hold it down long enough for baby to get nutrients and it would all come right back up. That part was terrible, but thankfully it has gotten better. Unfortunately since I started out so plus size I'm not showing at all and it frustrates me pretty bad. This is my first and we are so excited, I just want everyone to know I'm pregnant but I still look the exact same. Are any of you having this problem?

I am 17w2d  due may 4th and plus size, I have only gained 3 pounds. I feel like I cant evem eat as much as I used to because if I eat too much it makes me sick. Im so thankful for that! I havent had any complications other than finding out I am hpv positive and will find more out about that later :( I truly believe I am having a girl and have felt that way since the very beginning. Im really worried about the doctors making me have a c section. I hope this doesnt happen, as I want to go alllll natural! Good luck mommies :)

I'm a plus size mommy, but I've lost 9 lbs.  I haven't been able to eat as much as I did before.  I'm not having the cravings (sweet tooth) I had before getting pregnant, so I'm not complaining.  I'm certainly heavier than I was with my first baby and have gained weight since I had him (10 years ago).  I'm hoping to lose a bit more or even maintain where I am through the rest of my pregnancy.

I am a plus size mummy and also due May 13th. I just feel I still have a jelly belly but a few people have started to say I am looking more pregnant. I just say to myself a growing tummy is a healthy baby. I guess we can't worry about our weight now lets just embrace and enjoy our growing bumps :)

I ended up not losing weight before I got pregnant except for about 10 pounds. My goal was to get down to 125, what I was before I got pregnant with my first 5 years ago, and then ended up getting pregnant with my second.

I gained about 10 pounds so far, but lost 5 because of morning sickness. I'm also due May 13. I know how you feel. I feel so unattractive and feel as though this weight gain, even though it's natural, I'm going to be extremely unattractive.

I guess just get reassurance from your husband, tell him how you feel. He will make you feel attractive.
