I just found out I was pregnant and it had been bothering me the last couple days that I am,overweight and not sure if anyone is going to be able to tell I am preg... I am not morbidly fat but about 225 and scared that I wont look preg just a whole lot fatter... Anyone else overweight?

    Thanks... I just have a complex I guess cause the friends I have that are preg are all thin and going to show this cute belly when mine will still be covered by blubber... Lol

    I was overweight before I got pregnant. I lost over 100lbs and had some extra skin in the tummy area..I'm 22wks pregnant and barely showing...I'm thinking my body just has a lot of room to stretch??? I dunno. I'm carrying a boy so its lower..in the hips as well..so it will matter on how u carry as well

    Im overweight to and when I first found out that's the first thing I thought. Ut now that im 25 wks you can really tell there is ababy in there. With the right pair of maternaty pants and a cute fitting shirt I look really pregnant. Im really short and was aout 190 when I got pregnant so yea im pretty overweight so just e happy about the baby and don't worry to much girly! Congrats btw!! :)

    Ya see I have the extra skin thing from my weight fluxuating my whole life... I just hope that I end up showing at least some to take some cute pics... Or the baby grow into my skin... Lol,that would be ideal
  • babymaxisonthewaybabymaxisontheway

    You probably wont show as soon as your skinny pals, but you will definitely look pregnant before too long. I've been overweight since after my first pregnancy (damn kids, lol) and with my second I was obviously pregnant by 15 weeks. I'm nearly 10 wks now and I don't think I'll show as soon this time, I don't even feel prego yet. Don't stress, you'll be beautiful.

    Omg..i wuz gona make a post w l dis but i wuz scared. :/ iam overweight..i wuz planning on doin da portions diet den i found out i wuz prego..iam 220..but im only 5'5..my bkround is blk & italian sooo we eat alot. Lol. Any hoo..i got prego in 08 w l my first..i didnt start fully showin til i wuz 5 mos...my belly wuz huuuge by da time i delivered..after my belly dropped & it wuz jus blubbery. Lol. Iam now almost 14 weeks & i can tell a difference in my belly.its starting to poke out but not to where anyonr would say..hey..how far aling r yu?! But i can tell da fidd. Dey say w l yur second pregnancy yu show faster cus yur uterus muscles r weak from da first so dey cnt carry much weight. But dnt worry yu will show..& it helps if yu wear yur pants ova yur belly button. .It makes da bby bump look more round. ..Lol. Gud luck & dnt worry!!

    I'm huge! I weight 270 and I'm only 6 weeks I'm trippin on just lookin fat too! A lil scared wish I was skinny!
  • LovethemoonLovethemoon
    I deffinatly feel you... I am scared I am going to gain too much weight too so I am already tryibg to eat better.. I have had fast food once in the last 2 and a half weeks... I am trying to walk daily too cause I dont want to be that already fat preg girl that gains another 75/100 pounds abd then cant loose it at all after baby... I have to ask my doc about a diet I can be on while preg... That might help me and all of you ladies that are feeling the same way.. I dont have an appt till the 14th though... What a nice vday pres huh?? Lol
  • angiefaceangieface
    Lol story of my life........im now 25 weeks tall and overweight..i finally look preggy not just really fat..ive only gained 5lbs so far.I was also dieting when I found out I was preg. My advise....drink lots of water...walk..swim..pregancy yoga...and eat lots of fruit&veggies.And dont worry.You can loose after you have your baby.

    Breast feedin is they best way and very beneficial for both mom and baby. Mom loses ~ 650 calories and tightens uterus faster vs. non breast feed. but plz exercise eating healthy with portion size consuption will help a lot.

    I also have been sooo worried about this...I read things like "i'm 12 weeks and showing" I'm almost 12 weeks and cant imagine showing. I'm just too fat! I'm super excited to have a baby bump, cuz it's soo cute, but worried that I will never have one. My sister in law was a big girl, and you never could tell she was preggo, but my sister is about my size and you could definately tell with all of hers...I hope I show!!!!
  • LovethemoonLovethemoon
    Ya I feel you... See my problem isnt just being overweight... I have a fupa that I got after gaining and loosing weight as a teenager due to medication so I am really scared I am not going to look round even when I do start to show
  • heatherlynnheatherlynn
    Someone asked about diets while pregnant. When I did weight watchers I am almost positive that they had a program for pregnant women and I've been meaning to check it out.
  • sreysrey
    I feel ya! I'm 16 weeks and overweight. I always had an upper and lower stomach. I can feel a little hardness in my lower stomach and it seems all of my lower belly fat has moved up to my upper stomach and to by butt. Everyone that knows I am pregnant thinks I am showing because my upper stomach sticks out further than my lower. Ugh!
  • heatherlynnheatherlynn
    Omg same exact thing happened to my body...weird huh? I wanna be cute pregnant like all the others hahahah
  • LovethemoonLovethemoon
    Srey... Is your stomache geyting more round together or does it look like you still have 2
  • mz_sandersmz_sanders
    I dont know how much I weighed when I got pregnant with my son but after I was 217 and I showed when I got pregnant with my daughter 3 months after my son and I still show with this baby and I got pregnant 1 month after I had my daughter. I never really gave myself time 2 lose weight after my pregnancies. I was so afraid of my stitches opening. This time im getting an IUD no more kids 4 me.
  • ourfirst1ourfirst1
