Im with you Emma! I cant wait to get my body back! I was the heaviest I had been with DH before I feel pregnant so will be straight back to WW and exercising when Jayden pops out, it will be nice to have my body back and hopefully fit the whole wardrobe of clothes I have that cant fit!!!!]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:58:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=430940&title=bigger-mummies#430940 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : I was 83 kgs when I got pregnant...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=430917&title=bigger-mummies#430917 Author: KiwiNZ

I was 83 kgs when I got pregnant - after losing 10kgs at WW (scared of the big 100kgs). I went down to 75kgs in first triemster and am slowing climbing back up. Currently 78kgs but if the weather doesn't get any better I will soon start packing it on. I was walking at least 3 times a week - about 7kms. Have done one walk in two weeks and been aqua jogging only once since the weather has been so crappy. I really want to keep active - not only to try not to put on excessive weight but also to get fit. I heard that being fit is good for your energy levels when giving birth. ]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:43:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=430917&title=bigger-mummies#430917 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : I don&#039;t really have a preggy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=429922&title=bigger-mummies#429922 Author: Maya

I don't really have a preggy belly, I have a lumpy, bumpy flabby tummy. Sounds similar in shape to yours Melia, it has a definite crease i the middle then a high lump up top.

I must admit, I'm at the point now where I just want this weight off, can't wait to get baby out so I can have my body back and get back to being fit and healthy coz I've spent the past 2 years being fat and unfit and I hate it.

Hi guys, I have always been overweight but had joined weightwatchers last year and went from 100kgs to 76kgs before getting pregnant. Now at 29 weeks I'm 87kgs but I feel totally okay with that as I know I can get it off after the baby by going back to WW and the gym. I made a conscious decision to stay away from the scales while I'm pregnant or I would have got obsessive and depressive about it. The thing that has got me down is I was expecting to get a classic round belly but my tummy still has a crease in the middle which gives it a bit of a bulge in the top. It looks like I'm carrying really high but my midwife said the baby is actually low down in my pelvis. I'm almost looking forward to getting really big so it's obvious I'm pregnant and not just overweight!]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:23:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=429840&title=bigger-mummies#429840 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : lol deez that sounds like my story-...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=429835&title=bigger-mummies#429835 Author: mrshouse

Ok I'm joining up too...I never considered myself a big lady before.....I pretty much played sport every night of the week so managed to keep my weight down. before i got pregnant the first time around i was 62kgs and a size 11, by the time i was due to have Lycan i was 100kgs and a size 22.....after Lycan i managed to get down to 72kgs only had 10ks to go but fell pregnant again and now im 22wks pregnant and 80kgs already so i think i heading for the 100kg mark again. ]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:28:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=429799&title=bigger-mummies#429799 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : NeoshasMummy wrote:Oh how come...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=429783&title=bigger-mummies#429783 Author: Leticia

Leticia ive got a bump and like debs b carry my weight in my thighs and butt! so together with my bump its kinda rounded me out there!

but i know too it also depends on other factors as to whether your bump shows or not...my cousin is very big and her bump was even bigger! whereas another cousin is also very big and you could hardly see tell her bump from fat stomach!

ive put on so much and ive stil got 20 odd weeks to go! but im really enjoying it now that MS is gone-fat and all!

Hey Leticia, I was 105kg when I first got pregnant, and I'm now 16 weeks and 1 day (that 1 day counts) and I definately have a baby bump. Even though I am a bigger girl, I hold my weight in my legs and bum, so I think that's why I've noticed the baby bump. Other people though, might just think I getting fatter, lol. All my family and friends are lovely and are telling me that you're meant to put on weight when you're pregnant, but some days that doesn't help, especially since I was on Weightwatchers when I got preggers and I was used to seeing weight drop off, not pile on. ]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:41:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=428823&title=bigger-mummies#428823 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : Hey guys... i wondered if i would...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=428810&title=bigger-mummies#428810 Author: Leticia

Hey guys... i wondered if i would find some other ladies out there that were of the larger variety... Yay...

I am 27 yrs old and i have a 9 yr old daughter... now pg with #2 and am like 9 weeks or so...

I have the overhang tum thing and i feel really funny when my partner plays with my tummy... it's very wobbly... i have always been a big girl but being a solo mum at 17 kinda made me very lonely and i just got depressed and bigger...

Now a whopping size 22 and gonna get even bigger... i did lose 30 kgs and got down to the lovely size 16-18 but that was when i was going out every weekend and dancing... but then kinda fell out with those friends and started eating again...

i was told by my doctor that i was unable to conceive due to my weight and god damn it... look now i am pregnant and very weary about what i will look like once i get a bit bigger...

It is nice to know that i am not the only one out there who is bigger and proud... i don't like my appearance and will do something about it after the baby appears... but i DO want to do something about it... I have a very outgoing personality as most bigger girls do... and i am under the thing that if you don't like me the way i am then bugger off... lol!

hope to talk to you all soon...

PS? did you guys get baby bumps early in your pg??]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:24:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=428810&title=bigger-mummies#428810 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : HI everyone im so glad to come...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=411882&title=bigger-mummies#411882 Author: mrshouse

Hi, I'm also a bigger mum to be. I lost some of my previous pregnancy weight, but that was 10 years ago and I have struggled with my weight ever since. Got to my highest weight ever, but then lost around 12 kgs in the last year.... until now, that is.

I was 107kgs when I got pregnant 6-7 weeks ago.
EEK!!

So I am going to have to watch what I eat as I truly don't want to gain more than is necessary in this pregnancy. That is a huge fear of mine!

I'm too scared to hop onto the scales at the moment, but will keep an eye on my weight.. probably each month.

Welll.....hmmmmm.....I am in this group too.

I have over hang too from Zaara...I HATE IT!!

Before I got pregnant with this one I was 81kg's...I am 84Kg's now!!

I have a dent as well so at the mo I look like the baby is next to my breast...NOT!!

Prior to getting pregnant I was wearing size 12-14 skirts and pants and 12-16 Tops (Because I have Big breasts). But I a m def heavier then I look.

I had time to loose my weight from Zaara and I did but coulnt get rid of this over hang......and I am far too lazy to excersise.

But I love the pics ladies. I also looked very FAT with Zaara and not pregnant..its only after 30 weeks did I look pregnant.

Please excuse the horrid stretch marks

I am in this club too. I was 96kg when I got pregnant with Andrew and put on 35kgs with him (damn pre eclampsia). With Josh I was 90kgs to start with and go up into the 110's (didn't get weighed often enough to actually know how much I put on).

This is me the day before I had Josh:

I will upload the phot of me the day before I had Andrew as well.

So I said earlier I was just round looking, yesterday everything popped out and already I want to go back to just being round!!! Everything aches since yesterday and standing upright when i've been sitting for a while is a bit of a mission, not that i've had much sitting today thanks to DD and setting up the baby room and sorting out the office (probably why everything aches huh!!)

All your pics look great and once we take some I will post mine as well, (when I figure out how that works!!)

I'm in! I was about 95kg when I started and have put on about 7kgs so far. I can't describe how I felt when I hit 100kgs (not to mention the guilt at feeling bad about it) but I know that its only me that can get rid of it again later. Im 174cm so am lucky in that I carry it quite well and am surprisingly obviously pregnant which was also lucky cause I havent done exercise since Dec (bar the odd walk) and while I do try to eat fairly well, i prob have some sort of junk each day, woops! The report from my 20 week scan said that some measurements couldnt be taken 'due to maternal build', she was basically saying I had too much internal fat, mean aye!! That really hurt, but oh well. I get a baby soon so i remind myself that that is what is most important! And DH loves my body anyway so it doesnt matter!!! (im quite happy with it at the moment too, which is great!!) ]]> Sun, 25 May 2008 17:27:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=393918&title=bigger-mummies#393918 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : Thanks girls for showing the pics,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=393870&title=bigger-mummies#393870 Author: Leelee

I am a the bigger mum to be too, and at 24 weeks and only me and DH can notice any baby bump at the moment, but it is starting to look more like a baby and not just me being fat. I feel more comfortable in preggy tops just to help any curious on-lookers figure it out.

I lost some weight before getting pregnant, and have been too scared to look at the scales since about week 6. I can't handle watching the weight come back. I never thought I would be that worried about it really.

I wasn't going to, but I'll join in as well. I only gained about 4kg over my pregnancy but I was very overweight to start off with. I'm also in the 100kg+ club ... easily!

This was me at 35 weeks, but I never looked any bigger than this.

I'm not currently pregnant, but i thought i would post anyways since it wasn't that long ago that i was going through the same thing..

I'm a larger lass, and had lost 20kg before my 'whoops' baby was conceived thinking... GAH, why did I bother loosing the weight? I gained 21kg during pregnancy But now I look at my daughter (now 7 months) and she was definitely well worth the hassle..and walking her in the pram everyday (sometimes twice a day) is quickly helping me loose the weight... and even though I have a horrible scar and a 'curtain' now it's well worth it to see the outcome ]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 19:26:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=393268&title=bigger-mummies#393268 <![CDATA[Bigger Mummies : Nefertiti wrote: I also like...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=393254&title=bigger-mummies#393254 Author: Maya

Pick me! I put on 23kg having the gremlins and didn't lose any of it before I got preg again with this one, which is entirely my own fault!
I have the overhanging tummy, and I also have the strangest shaped bump you ever saw. It has a dent in the middle so it's not really round. It looks like baby is really high when in fact she is actually sitting really low.
This is me at 28 weeks with this bub, but the top does kinda disguise the hanging down, funny shaped tum.

Don't panic, your not the only one who is bigger, or with the overhanging tum either!!!

I had just got rid of it and bam pregnant again and instantly it came back! I hoped I might be able to take some belly photos this time but at 26 weeks I don't look pregnant, just sort of round! So now the two of us can sit in the corner together but at least we will have someone to talk to.

Well I couldn't think of a better title, but if your like me you have a nosey in every thread anyway lol

I am wondering how many other preggy mums are out there that are bigger ladies. I still have weight from 3 babies, and have the dreaded overhang tummy. This makes me very self conscious! This is also the biggest I have every been when falling pregnant. I feel different with this pregnancy.   Probably because I felt I looked pregnant beforehand!
So I'd like to chat to other woman who are in this situation.
I look at the lovely pictures in the baby bellys section and feel so envious as I won't be showing any pics of me....probably not until about 38wks anyway lol
If there aren't any other ladies around on this forum, I'll just hide in the corner blushing lol....this has taken a bit of guts for me to post this :)]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 11:44:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17552&PID=393012&title=bigger-mummies#393012
