I'm a new member to the forum and have been enjoying having a read of the many topics available. I am currently 13 weeks pregnant, awaiting to become a mum for the first time. I have previously had 2 m/c in the past two years, all by the 11 week period so I'm now in new territory and hoping for a successful pregnancy.
Other than being extremely over weight (112kg), I am otherwise a very healthy person, but being my first pregnancy I have some concerns about how I am going to handle the pregnancy as I get further along. Since finding out I was pregnant again I have lost 4kg just by not eating 'junk' but don't think too much more loss will happen as now entering the second trimester, weight gain is on the cards.
I'm hoping to hear from anyone out there that is either currently pregnant or had been pregnant and were also quite overweight whilst carrying just to see what I'm in for. Maybe some tips and suggestions of how to make things easier/how to cope.
Ultimately, I would like to at least remain at this weight t/out the pregnancy, therefore lose weight whilst gaining pregnancy weight, but natrually would like to do it safely.
Another one of my concerns is that I am already extremely busty - bra size 22H (+?) - it's the biggest bra I've been able to find but I still think more cup would be better. I'm really concerned that I'm going to be outsized in bras which would be most embarrasing! What is in store for me in that arena....?
