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

Hormones are a killer :P. True relationship tester! And thankyou ale09 just hard when all i see is high bmi everywhere! My GP is amazing but think its because my mother works there. Sorry if I seem a moaner! Im not usually just my confidence is very low and am seeing who feels the same. Makes such a difference talking to other mums x

I feel your pain I had lost a total of 95 pounds I went from a size 20 to a 11 and I was feeling great but I had been told I wasn't gonna be able to have kids and so when I came out pregnant I was beyond excited and I am 39 weeks now and have gained 35 pounds so far and yes my bump is not pretty like the slimmer girls lol but I am happy anyways andthink about it you can always loose it afterwards so just enjoy your self!!
