Plus Sized Pregnancy

[MissM]

Congrats on the Birth of Elliana Beautiful name!

I'd like to join in with you ladies also

I am currently 97ish kg's and almost 5wks, I was dieting at the beginning of the month and didn't lose any weight at all (because whattaya know ... I was UTD! LOL) so I will DEF hit the 100ish kg's . Im already BUSTING out of my jeans/work pants (stretchy skirts here we come!) I was browsing online yesterday at the maternity clothes via various sites and could not believe the prices! I might have to buy 2nd hand clothes rom Ebay or something, because I wont be in them for that long then I can pass them on to someone that will need them too ...

Im still early days, but I've had to buy a belly belt thingymajig to open my pants up at the button area. I dont go back to work for a few weeks yet, so Im def going to put on weight by that time!

Any suggestions on where to find nice 2nd hand clothes online other than ebay?

So good to hear from you yarra!!!! Hope she can come home soon! And as for cosmo... Air brushed or not you are soooooo pretty!
Re the singets I got a target maternity one and same thing, must wear bra! Very comfy tho.

Welcome miss M, congratz on the bfp!

Yarra, I'm glad to hear she's doing well now. I hope you get that good long cuddle today!

Miss M, congratulations! I was very bloated at the beginning too and it went away around the 10wk mark, so you may find your waistline goes up and down a bit until you start getting a proper bump. I was lucky that the maternity pants I bought for work could actually be adjusted in when the bloating went away or I'd have been in trouble. I've bought my maternity clothes new (I never buy many clothes so I figured I could splurge, plus I've not bought that many because it's hard to find anything that works for me) so I can't help on the 2nd hand options.

Thanks for the advice juniper I will have to look around - stretchy skirts might be the way to go until winter then

I would love to join this thread as well! I am 4 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I am about 120kg and 180cm tall (I think). With my last baby I lost about 7kg during pregnancy due to the constant throwing up lol

Congratulations on your BFP melcur! Hopefully this time you can do as well with your weight but skip the throwing up!

Yarra, I did some browsing at the newsagent while waiting for my lunch order and you look fabulous!

I was the same starting weight as you with both pregnancies (and a tad shorter) and yep...the puking lost me 12kg in 1st pregnancy and so far, 5 in this one. Hyperemisis went undiagnosed last time becuase I assumed it was normal! Got it diagnosed early this time when I got put into hospital for dehydration and the meds hit it on it's head in 3 months!
