Bigger Mummies

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 :)

Thanks Lisa. I wish I had got rid of mine! With my first preg I put on 21kg and most of that was fluid, but then got quickly again, and with the stretching of the skin, I've never been able to lose it :(

You might be surprised leelee. i am a larger lass and i definitely looked pregnant. it will all depend i think on how you carry . some skinny ladies dont look pregnant either...   i think my overhang now is worse after having a c section with my last and i dont think it will ever go away. and out of 3 pregnancies i only ever posted one belly shot on the board, and that was this last pregnancy and i was almost full term.

well i posted heaps of belly shots so bigger girls wouldn't be scared:) i was proud to be pregnant like everyone else so i posted!:) i think i looked pregnant too ..i was 106kg when i started (96 now)

ok iwas 96kg wen i got preg with this 1 but still had the tummy from my previous pregnancies but my boys are nearly 7 and 5 so again my own fault i had long enough to lose it...i am lucky i guess cause my tummy started poking out and tightening up quite early on with this 1. i posted pics the other day in the belly thread and am only 18 weeks and feel about 30 lol hopefully the growth slows down or ill definately be bursting by the end of it all.

dont stress bout being bigger as someone else has said it all depends on how you carry.

This is baby number 3 for me pregnancy number 9 tho. I was 95kgs when i started with this baby and im only 163cm tall. I had abit of a tummy befor i got pregnant with this baby but my weight is everywhere. I have posted a pic of myself on page 36 of due novemebr thread. It doesnt look to bad as my legs are hidden. I am 20kgs bigger with this baby as i gave up smoking a few month back. I am finding this pregnancy alot harder on my body.

Totally agree its the one time in your life when all women look beautiful.
And I prefer beautiful voluptuous preggy mummies better than skinny minnies, IYKWIM.

Thankyou everyone! Its nice to hear that there are others in the same boat as me.
