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.

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'm 6'0 and am 25w+3. Started out at 220 lbs and am now 240. I'm trying not to focus on my size...it is getting me down :-( Also, I don't look very pregnant...just like I've eaten too much. Nice to see I'm in good company :)

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.
