Let's be REAL...
Today, I'm 35 weeks pregnant. I have gestational diabetes this go round (1 child, 3rd pregnancy), and my current weight at 5 foot 7 inches is 302 lbs. I started out at 285 lbs. The baby is on the larger size (6.5 lbs.), but healthy. My question for all you other moms is how big are you? Are you afraid of being plus size and pregnant? Let's be REAL with each other and ourselves. The only thing that's been difficult so far has been trying to find nursing bras and tops that come in my current sizes. I could care less what other people think. After our first child, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, so losing weight even with medication has not been possible. I'm hoping my hormones go wacky again after this birth, and I can finally get down to a healthier size. But I'm also realistic about how much pregnancy can do to a woman's body. So, is anyone else dealing with plus size issues while pregnant? No judgement, no shame.
