Obese mommies to be

I am 16 weeks and a little over 350 lbs. My baby is growing just fine. I know it maybe a little frightening but I just wanted to know were there any other super sized mommies to be out there.

With my fist s one I started out weighing 110 lbs. And gained to 150 lbs, but was also pre-eclamptic. My second I was down to 120 and gained to 140 and third I was 130 and gained to 145. I am 5'1" and started my 4th and last pregnancy at 150, technically overweight. I lost 10 lbs due to epic nausea So over all I have gained a total 6 lbs and am now 22 weeks. Prior to this pregnancy I was working out and such and had dropped to 130 but moved to Indiana near lots of family and food and put the 20 lbs back on before finding out I was pregnant a few months later. Do not get discouraged! Work hard and you can overcome anything! As long as baby is healthy just focus on healthy snacks and drinking lots of water will keep you healthy!

I started my pregnancy @303 gained 2pounds and @23 weeks I am 302pounds. My doctor is HAPPY with my weight and says that my son is growing and healthy... I am a ftm so this is all pretty new to me. But I find that I crave more healthy foods than not so healthy, and I also walk 5hours a day for my job so I figure that is working in my favor too... HAPPY pregnancy Ladies!!!

I started my pregnancy weighing 224, I am now 31 weeks and weight 231. My docter has never complained about weight or weight gain. I think everything will be just fine as long as your blood pressure and blood glucose levels look good.

Hi my weight b4 was the biggest ive ever been which was 272 but at that weight i learned of my 9 week pregnancy i was sick for whole month and randomly decided to take a test. I aint alot at the time bc eating kept me from getting sick and i hate vomiting. Im not sure of my exact weight last i knew it was 278 the last couple of appointments im 17+3 along. At 20 weeks i find out what im having. Which im excited. Only thing thats got me nervous is that i really dont feel movement of my baby my doctor told me give it 2 more weeks and i should start to feel way more. When did you plus size mommies feel your baby move??

I started at 235 at 9weeks and 3days.. Dr told me as long as I don't gain then that'll mean I'm losing, but baby is gaining. He was happy with that. Now I'm at 13 weeks and 229.

I started my pregnancy at 274 I hit 284 today.  I'm a little over 32 weeks now.  My doctor had wanted me to gain a little bit more weight, but said as long as I'm eating healthy he isn't concerned.  Baby measures perfect.  I'm glad I'm not alone.  :)

I started at about 230 & am now about 265ish (heaviest I've ever been, by far). I've always been a very healthy person, with the exception of the weight (I was jogging 5ks before pregnancy), & have had no complications in my pregnancy. I gained the most in the first & part of the 2nd trimester, but have maintained pretty well the last 6wks. It was emotional & heartbreaking knowing they'd want to discuss my weight at my appts. I was trying to eat well & be active, but I was extremely stressed & fatigued, which I'm sure you all totally get. I'm hoping I get back into jogging after baby is born. The in laws even bought me the BOB Revolution SE stroller so I can take baby on my runs. :)

Started st 185 and now 235. Dr was a little harsh at first but has eased up on me because they said I retain a lot of water. No diabetes or high blood pressure. 39+3 now.

I started at 288...I'm 3 days away from my due date and I am now 273. Baby is healthy and doctor monitored my weight closely through pregnancy. He said it's perfectly fine.... called it staying weight neutral. Congratulations mamas

I started at 298 at 6w and at 12w I was 180. My doctor isnt concerned unless i continue to lose weight that rapidly.  Baby is doing great and the dr. Hasnt had any issues with measurements.  He is very confident that he can tell me the gender at my 15week appt.

I started this pregnancy at 300 I am now almost 330 and at 21 weeks exactly today.I know its not safe to try to lose weight while pregnant but I have been super busy purposely trying to keep my weight steady but it keeps going up.I know for sure I will have more control over it ounce my little one is here.I look good though yasssssss mamme but also want to stay on top of the health aspect of it because it doesn't matter how good you look if you're not feeling good its kinda worthless,so I'm going to work on that.God bless take care All.

I started at 210 and now am 251! Yikes. I was really disappointed in my starting weight because it was the most Ive ever weighed. Even though Ive gained so much in the last 7 months Ive decided not to focus on it because I have had an otherwise healthy preganancy and I plan to recommit to earing healthy and sraying active after shes born. Theyve tested me twice for gd and I have passed both times and aside from having slightly elevated blood pressure here and there everything is good and my girl is healthy and growing and I cant wait to meet her in June :)

I had back surgery 2 years ago and gained 70 pounds afterwards to bring me to 280. I have lost 13 pounds with the pregnancy so far and I'm 20 weeks. I can't walk more than 10 minutes or so at a time because of my back. It's not just from the pregnancy, but from the surgery. All I can do is try and eat healthy. Never had problems finding baby or measuring her. But, everyone is different. Good luck ladies.

I started off at 254 and am currently 247. I'm 14 weeks pregnant with twins and trying to eat healthy but find myself eating whatever I can keep down since morning sickness has me throwing everything up. Hoping to not gain too much and deliver healthy babies! :)

I started at 245 and am at 253 at almost 35 weeks. Walking everyday and eating good has helped. Dr assumed I would be diabetic, I wasn't . Didn't start showing until 32 weeks, just looked odd. Keep up the good work ladies .

I started at 260, lost 8lbs. Gained that back and now, at 25 weeks am 267. Dr says I'm doing great. Exercise and eat right is all you can do. I was worked at first but i think worrying was making me worse off.
