pregnant... and already got rid of my "big" clothes...



Recommended Posts

So where does a plus size woman get maternity clothes? I really don't have a budget... I'm still overweight, so maybe I won't show much?

All my friends that I've witnessed be pregnant were normal weight woman, so they were showing within a few months of learning they were pregnant. I've still got excess weight and loose skin too, so I'm thinking I can shop just plain old bigger plus sizes and not need maternity?

What do big ladies wear when they are pregnant? Any post op's that didn't make it to goal weight before getting pregnant have any suggestions on what to expect with my body?

Well, I have no answer to your question as I've already allowed three humans to live for 10 long months in my now retired uterus. But, I want to say, CONGRATULATIONS!

Sears, target, and Kmart carry plus size maternity wear that is affordable. Jeans and a pair of black pants and your good. I have an entire wardrobe if u were close to Ohio. Full panel is most comfortable.

Congratulations! I was pregnant last year before my surgery. I shopped at Target and Motherhood Maternity. I would also suggest the full panel in jeans and other pants.

And I promise you will show, even overweight =). That was a concern for me when I got pregnant. I carry all of my weight in my stomach, so I was afraid I would just look fatter then I already was. I looked pregnant probably around 6 months.

I love Old Navy's maternity section!!

I've gotten a couple things from Ross, Motherhood Maternity, Goodwill and eBay. But my favorite is Old Navy. They have cute options and the prices are awesome!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
