I know this thread has been here a while but I just started reading it, and it made me feel so good after feeling a bit rubbish about my size recently! I'm 16/18 and don't think much of my weight until someone comments on it! (I have put on a bit in the last few years since being with OH who is a stick insect but eats like a pig!) Especially my close family who are always trying to 'help' me lose weight! I'm so excited about having a baby bump and hope that some of my weight will disappear when running around trying to look after baby! But thanks ladies, as I feel much more proud and normal!!!!! x x x x x x x x x x

So keep up the good work girlies!!!

I have got my booking appt tomorrow girls and I am sooo nervous. It'd not nice knowing that I am going to be going there to be criticised. I will let ya know how it goes tomorrow x

 

[Heulyn]

I think it's about time I resurrected this thread....
If I get my definate BFP [which I'm sure I will! Fx!] then I will once again be the 3 P's!

So I reckon I'll start posting regular pics..... even though any bump I get will be hiding under all my wibbly bits, I reckon I'll be brave, and post them.

So.... this one is me at Christmas 2009.
[Not too long after my 1st m/c, from which I gained some weight!]

I'll get some more up once I get my BFP and can have a dating scan
[I sound so confident don't I! I'm just hoping I'm right!!!]

 

[serenitylove]

fingers crossed for you hun and you dont look big at all in your pic i wish i was that small lol im hitting whale status

 

[Emmamb]

I'm the same size..16 top,18-20 bottom. I was on slimming world b4 I fell pregnant but just can't follow it at the moment,my body just wants stodge lol. I found I'm showin really early too (pics in bumpy pics section) which makes me look 6 months gone due to the fat around it lol xxx

 

[Heulyn]

Thanks I put on a lot of weight since then, so we'll see when I get my bfp good and proper, haha!

Emmamb, I wouldn't worry, one of my aunts hadn't been told I had m/c, and when she came over she was like, patting my stomach, saying "getting on well then!" , when there was nothing there any more - I'm just fat haha!

She wanted to crawl in a hole with embarrasment when I corrected her LOL

I'm more worried about the kids guessing or some1 puttin summat on facebook,my immediate family know but not gonna tell the kids till I've had my scan xx

 

[Heulyn]

Yeah, we made the mistake of telling one person about the faint line... now everyone seems to bloody know!!
GRRR

 

[Sol]

Well I'm a size 20 below and a size 24 above because of the boobs mainly. I always refer to myself as being a flamingo as I have the skinniest legs but I kinda feel i'm going to start looking more like an emu )

Heulyn - you look fantastic !
I just wish I had classic curves like you, I look like a ruler! straight down with no in and out at the waist , no hips and no shape - enjoy yours X

Good luck with your impending BFP XXX FX for you JJ

 

[LilyMac]

Can I join too please even though Im in tri2?!
Im deffo PPP!... Though sometimes I am quite miserable about my weight cause lately nothing seems to fit no matter where I shop, not even bras! I have days where Ill cry and say Im fat but my OH is amazing and tells me constantly that Im beautiful and he loves me just the way I am
This thread is a cool idea and its really reassuring to know that not everyone out there is a size 0 with the tiniest perfect bumps, us PP girls can definately be proud too

Thanks JJ
That's a flattering picture... I'm more lumps and bumps than that. Teehee.
AND you won't look like a ruler once that gorgeous bump of yours kicks in!

LilyMac - of course you can join
Glad your PPP!

Can anyone steer me in the right directon for blinkies? I'm baffled!

 

[lealea85]

im a 14 on the botom and a 10/12 on the top....im only 5ft.....
im expecting to reach 14/16 by the time im due.
size dont matter as long as ur healthy

 

[LittleL]

im PPP!! although my pregnancy wasnt planned, i have often worried about my weight and always told myself that when i was ttc, i would lose weight before hand but now that i am pregnant it has become a big worry about my weight and how people would react to it (midwife/ GP etc) and also about how much more weight i would put on during pregnancy... Ekkk

Being only 4'10" and a size 20 jeans and 16/18 top, i have a high BMI and have struggled with my weight for years and it is quite depressing but now im pregnant, i have become even more self consious about my weight.

Many people have reassured me and told me that aslong as i eat healthy (which i am) and that the baby is healthy, that i shouldnt worry to much about my weight just now as there is nothing i can do about it and that i should just consentrate on the important stuff like me and baby and then worry about losing weight after the baby arrives - this is good advice and i tell myself this everyday!

having said that, im yet to see my midwife for the first time so i sure hope she is just as encouraging with me?!?

I think that's the best advice for us PPP women!
Keep as healthy as we can, and concentrate on baby

Hope you get a cracking MW who doesn't even think twice about being PPP!

Well the midwife didn't tell me but am still a little down, she did say she would have to refer me to dieticiany person. She said I'm likely to have 2 appointments with him and that was it.

I reckon half of my weight is on my boobs as it is anyway but I didn't want to ask for a breast reduction until after I had kids. I mean if I'm a G now what on earth will they be when I'm 8 months :/
In all fairness I eat pretty healthy but trying to excercise with these babies is a mare anyone else have this problem?
