    Scared about vaginal birth.

    @misha100 I asked my doctor about a c section too because I was scared of a vaginal birth at my weight and I just like having things scheduled but she said basically the same thing. It would be a lot more beneficial for me to deliver vaginally than a C-section and they’d only do the C-section if...

    What we don’t know

    @jacob1996 Don’t overdo it on clothes. I bought so many cute outfits because I was going to make sure he was dressed up every day. That didn’t happen. He spent the first few months in onesies and pajamas except for a party we attended for everyone to meet him. Plus they outgrow everything so...

    Pregnancy hospital bag

    @sg1371 I just bought a duffle bag from Target. And I had a couple reusable bags to carry things like electronics and snacks and I brought an extra one because I knew we’d be leaving with more stuff than we came with like diapers and stuff.

    Venting…

    @poptart1919 I was much heavier than you when I first started trying to get pregnant. When we we’re first trying to conceive I went to a dr because I was concerned that my PCOS would stop me from being able to a asked I wanted help getting that under control. She spent the entire appointment...

    Told that anesthesia would be difficult and dangerous. Anyone have any experience?

    I just had my weekly appointment with a dr. Mine was out of town so I had to see her partner. I’m 36 weeks and 6 days with my 1st and about 330lbs. I knew from the start that there were higher chances of complications due to my weight but my usual dr assured me that things would be okay. She...

    TTC

    @aries11 Good luck! I also have PCOS and was about the same weight when I got pregnant. We tried for like 9 months before it happened but it did happen even though I’ve had many doctors tell me it never would.

    Positive Induction stories?

    @7caldwell My baby was estimated to weigh around 11lbs so I was induced at 39 weeks 5 days. We got there Wednesday night at 10pm. They inserted a foley balloon which honestly was the worst part of the entire birth. Afterwards my boyfriend said he heard the dr say something about not having the...

    Postpartum underwear/diapers for plus size?

    FTM and I’m struggling with which route to go. I bought some underwear that I thought I’d be able to wear postpartum with a pad but I have an apron belly and they’re just not fitting right. If I pull them up over my belly I don’t think the pad will sit properly and if I sit them under my belly...

    95th Percentile at 20 weeks

    @quickbiblicalportraits The measurements are often a guess. At my last ultrasound (35 weeks I think?) they said my baby was about 7.5lbs and estimated he would be over 10lbs when he was born. The dr at the ultrasound said that it was an estimate at best so not to worry. My son was born a few...

    Needed opinions!

    @willy17 I also have PCOS. Before I got pregnant I added Ovasitol but it was a knock off brand that was cheaper and I also took berberine. I think what helped the most was I started intermittent fasting. I lost almost 30lbs in a few months doing that but then I got pregnant and stopped. I also...
