Thankyou for your responses! I was beginning to feel a little lonely... but reassuring to know there are other overweight women on this forum who have done the pregnancy thing whom I can ask questions!

I do think being pregnant while overweight is a slightly different experience to being pregnant while a 'normal' (I hate the term normal, but hope you all understand what I mean) weight. I have a wonderful GP looking after me, she has advised me to keep my weight gain to a minimum, and that I am at a higher risk of gestational diabetes. I am doing shared care with the Womens and Childrens Hospital (Adelaide) and do not have my first appt with them until I am 19 weeks. It will be at this appt that they will decide whether I will be categorized as 'high risk'. At this point, my health is perfect, apart from my weight.

My main question is - when will I show? I had a feeling that being bigger it would take a while for me to get a noticeable baby bump. Will I actually look pregnant, or will I just look bigger in general?
Also, does it take longer to feel the baby moving for the first time?

AHGGG maternity clothes! Not looking forward to that, lol. Good to know it may be a while yet before I will need any. Perhaps I will be able to get away with buying a size or two bigger than usual??

Yep, guzzling away at the water!

Again, thankyou so much for responding to my post. It is great to know I have somewhere to come with my questions!
