Plus size too. 22 pr-preg. Im 36 wks 5 day. Was 248 now 263. Seven pounds gained in the past week. I tend to lose 15 lbs up front when preg. Nit sure why I'm gaining so quickly these day. Doc ran tests and all is normal
.I've had no complications except for back pain. My biggest problem.is finding maternity clothes. There have been a few melt downs at Motherhood

I'm 19 and was 240 pre-preg about size 16. I'm now 36 weeks and currently almost 330 and have no idea what size I am lol i've been in sweat pants and pjs my entire pregnancy though. I mostly ballooned after finding out my baby has multiple congenital heart defects, I haven't had any complications other than a gestional diabetes scare that came back normal and also in and out of the hospital and constant 24 urine tests and bloodwork for high blood pressure and pre-clampsia (which is hormone related not weight)
