adding this: pre pregnancy I was around 340, in around 360 now at 34 weeks. My diet hasn’t changed. I’m probably being more “cautious” because I have GDM but the weight I’m gaining is definitely because of the baby. I was stable until about 27 weeks, but once baby started hitting her growth...

@nicole89 I didn’t read the post after “my doctor said I can lose weight” full stop no: you should not be actively trying to lose weight while pregnant. If you can I’d try to find another doctor who will give you support

@silvershadow Almost the same story! I tested early because of my PCOS. I’m controlled with metformin and diet right now. If you want to try metformin you could give it a shot, but I was taking it pre-pregnancy so I didn’t have to deal with side effects. Besides extra testing 2x a week no real...

@pollinnna230 I’m 5’2 and was 340 before getting pregnant on my second IUI. I also have PCOS. The first clinic I went to wouldn’t touch me until I lost 100 lbs. I told them to fuck off and called around until I found another clinic with no weight restrictions. I am being treated for GD right...

@sg1371 Rolling suit case for mine and my husbands clothes, diaper bag for baby stuff and taking home diapers bottles, big ikea size bags for pillows and blankets/taking stuff home and my husband’s backpack for electronics. We ended up staying for a week in the hospital so I feel good that we...

@yytg12 I would just keep a cautious eye on that sub. I’m on it too but there are a lot of non-plus size women on there that are very concerned gaining/loosing weight and lots of talk of diets/restrictions (which is to be expected) but it can get kind of triggering at times. Like I just saw a...

@mousa Im 37 weeks and I never had morning sickness!

@newbie2016 I am currently 350 lbs, 5'2 and 30 years old. I was at my heaviest 480- and have been yo-yoing between 390-350 since. I also have PCOS. No amount of weight loss has helped me get my periods to be regular. When I was first diagnosed as a teenager I was maybe 160? 180? And my periods...

@tfsm So I did a different test than the 1 hour glucose drink because I had stomach surgery and can’t tolerate the drink. I was slightly elevated. Tracked my sugars and it was ok- but I’m already taking metformin for my PCOS so they said that was combatting the GD effects of high sugars. I was...

@candimarie We got pregnant on our second iui. It was so shocking. We did not think it would happen so quickly. But we know how blessed we are.

@candimarie Im 23 weeks and im 366 lbs. 350 when I got pregnant. I have PCOS and needed fertility treatment/IUI to get pregnant. Baby is measuring perfectly and no concerns. Due to my PCOS I’m being labeled as having gestational diabetes which is a bit of a pain- but I’m managing.
