plus size mums out there?

Am feeling quite rubbish to be honest! Was on a diet previously to getting pregnant due to getting married next year which was going really well. Obviously had to stop for baby! Partner keeps telling me Im beautiful, but I just dont feel it! Would love to feel pregnant and not just fat. Doesnt help when midwives etc go on about my 'high BMI.' Just looking for someone that feels the same? Am so jealous of slim people with their perfect bumps! Im 17weeks + 2days xxxx

LOL. For some it can be hard to love their body at times. Im aware BMI can be wrong, Ive been a strong swimmer since forever therefore have alot of muscle, but it would be nice if healthcare proffessionals take that into consideration - just because we arnt their ideal woman they dont! And i was stating I do not obsess over my body, have only felt this way during pregnancy - naturally. I dont feel I have been rude at all. Because stating 'facts' like that arnt necessarily going to make ladies already feeling low about how they look during pregnancy feel much better. sometimes only worse - may feel their then failing their child rather than take it in a 'then Ill have to sort it out for the sake of my baby' which Im sure is how you meant it :). Im sorry if youve taken how I speak rudely, I didnt mean to offend you. Im hardly looking for an arguement or conflict lol!

You're the one being rude. I simply said
1) bmi shouldn't concern you because it not always correct
2) love your body
3) moms who obcess over size are more likely to teach that to their kids.
Not one comment was mean I'm sorry if a FACT upset you. Youre the one who took it all personally. You're the one who gave it a negative context. I do read properly by the way.

Thats not how you made it sound though is it?  If you read properly youd have seen its a pregnancy thing, rather than me being obsessed over my image and being likely to make my child feel that way when I know thats not the case. Naturally Im going to get defensive of this - isnt that a normal part of becoming a mother?  You don't need to get sarcastic and Im sorry you feel you do. Maybe just choose sentences a lil more carefully with hormonal pregnant ladies :).

That is not even what I meant.... Thank you for taking my encouragement out of context.

Actually I was very confident beforehand, and have planned to hang my car keys up and walk everywhere once baby is here to help get back into shape. i dont obsess over my body image the way you seem to think I do, and Im confident my baby will not worry. Its a actually the outside world that have judged/gone on at me about my weight that have made me feel this way. I dont think its fair to judge and say we are likely to make our kids obsess over how they look when its just a pregnancy thing!
