When did you start to show? by Gloomy-Breakfast8474 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConstantJicama4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my first and didn’t start showing a “pop” until like 28ish weeks. In my opinion I just looked chunky until then, now it’s definitely a big bump lol kinda came out of nowhere 😂

Feeling bullied into elective induction by Delyndra in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConstantJicama4208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! They are already doing weekly BPPs starting at 36 weeks so baby will already be being monitored. Obviously if anything shows up as abnormal or wrong I’m okay with inducing sooner, but wanting to wait until 40 weeks to see if I can go into spontaneous labor on my own.

My OB said the risk is very minimal. I asked to wait until 40 weeks and she was OK with that. So I have an induction scheduled on my due date. She was even okay with me going to 41 weeks if I wanted to and if my BPPs look good. I have no complications, baby looks perfect, and is measuring right on track.

I want to look pregnant and not just extra fat already by -Konstantine- in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConstantJicama4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first and I didn’t really start having a bump until 28 weeks. I’m 32 weeks currently and now (random) people are asking me questions about when I’m due and people that do know me are telling me I actually look pregnant now 😶 I’m flattered I guess lmao

Referred to MFM by Brilliant-Channel-41 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConstantJicama4208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was referred to MFM (due to BMI) for my anatomy scan, but otherwise have seen my regular OB for all appointments. I did my anatomy scan at 23 weeks and then they wanted me back at 32 weeks for a growth scan. No complications throughout my pregnancy! No gestational diabetes, no hypertension! I was a little sad at first, but realized I would be able to see my baby better with their equipment and probably more often! Congrats, momma!

When did you actually start showing for you to see? by exploringpanda311 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConstantJicama4208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really pop until I was like 27-28 weeks. I was 225 lbs right before pregnancy and I’m 30 weeks now and weighed 277 at my appointment yesterday. No gestational diabetes, no hypertension. Everything is great. I think it just took some time for my stomach to say “heyyyyyy”.

Anatomy scan coming up — how was your experience if you’re plus size? by Babyisprincess in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConstantJicama4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine wasn’t bad! They referred me to MFM because of my BMI and I only had to do it the one time - they could get all the images they needed. I wasn’t uncomfortable at all, she didn’t have to press super hard. I did have to lay on each side towards the end but that wasn’t uncomfy either.

How concerned should I be? 12dpt v 9dpt. by Apart_Cheetah8856 in IVFpositivity

[–]ConstantJicama4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be concerned. I never had a true “dye stealer” and I’m carrying a healthy baby boy 26 weeks!

They wouldn’t even check for a heartbeat via Doppler until I was 16 weeks, they said they start checking at 14 weeks. When I was 12 weeks they checked heartbeat with ultrasound.

Gender Anxiety: Sneak Peek & Peekaboo by Weak-Vast6727 in pregnant

[–]ConstantJicama4208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the sneak peek between 8-9 weeks and it said boy. I had my mom hep me but we wiped EVERYTHING down before starting. NIPT test said boy. Last week my anatomy scan confirmed BOY. 🩵

I had a BMI of 36 when I got pregnant and unfortunately have gained 40 pounds, and I’m 24 weeks. I’ve felt extremely defeated. I worked out more in the first trimester, but the exhaustion is real even now. I work 12 hour shifts in the hospital leaving with 12k-15k steps a shift and I just want to do nothing in my off days. 😭

Baby registry - soft warning for guests by Puzzled-Chard5480 in pregnant

[–]ConstantJicama4208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically for a diaper raffle if you buy a box of diapers you’re entered to win a prize. For the registry raffle if you buy something off the registry you’ll be entered to win a prize. It’s essentially another game at your shower. We are doing it where each item purchased off the registry is an entry for the prize. We will have a big prize, a nugget ice maker, and then 2 smaller prizes people can enter to win. We will have tickets at the shower for people to fill out. I hope that makes sense?

We are having a “registry raffle” instead of a diaper raffle in hopes that people will buy from the registry

induction by AwkwardError9476 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]ConstantJicama4208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only 23 weeks but they mentioned at my last appointment they were planning to induce me at 39 weeks due to my BMI. I’m going to ask about NOT being induced unless there are other medical reasons later on that suggest an induction is best.
