Pregnant and 294lbs!

Stephanie • 💙-👼-👼-💗🌈

Hi all,

So i have just found out (literally today) that i am expecting my rainbow baby after a loss in September. I already have a little boy who will be 3 in October this year. When i fell pregnant with him in 2016, I was 14lbs lighter. I had a textbook pregnancy with no health issues. The only complication i had was during delivery where there was a mild shoulder dystocia (my son was absolutely fine with no long lasting issues). Once i had him, I weighed 257lbs, so i actually lost weight! He weighed a gorgeous 8lb 10oz ❤

Heres the thing... this time around, i'm afraid. I had all these plans set out with my husband to lose some weight first before falling pregnant. We've had a really tough few months and we are so happy to be expecting again, but im so scared my weight this time will be an issue and I dont want to let my husband or son down 😔.

Are there any ladies here that weigh the same or more than me who can share their experiences with me? I am based in the UK and was under consultant care in my first pregnancy due to high BMI so i will probably have the same this time around.

Thank you ❤❤❤❤
